Where do your old computers go?

You remove one side of a computer case and it make one nice metal box. That what I did when I striped bare an old celeron and used the case to hold my car tools!

What did you do with the components? You better not have thrown them away!

Awesome, lol. I want to be in the Linux team as a part of one of my careers. I want to know about computers and how they work, because I love recycling and reusing old computers and I Want to cluster old computers with upgraded hardware and use that like for something.

"The Linux team". Explain what you mean by that?

The State of Oregon has an electronics collection system. Most computer stores and electronics shops will take anything from boxes of isa cards .. cables .. towers .. telephones .. televisions .. anything that contains valuable precious metals.

The state then picks the stuff up at regular intervals and then it is transported to a recycle center that process the items in a "green" fashion.

It made several millions of dollars that went back into the state coffers.

I donate my old computers to FreeGeek Vancouver, so that they either recycle them or reuse them. And the best part is, if they end up reusing them, they install Ubuntu!

I read somewhere on Wikipedia that people get a Linux degree or something like that. I want to get that.

i have been building my own computers for a while. i feel like i like building them more than using them. i have several old laptops and desktops that i have collected over the years. the ones i built before i graduated high school are still at my parents in a closet probably. the rest are here at my house or wherever else i can store them, some are at my shop, and others i gave away.

You should cluster them.
