What to do with old computers

[Mr. Switch]

I was just given an old 486 today, and I have absolutly no use for it. I don't know where to take this becuase i'll never use it. what do you do with old hardware to get it out of the garage?

Sell it. My friend sold his old one to some1 for $10 lol

Make it into a cool piece of furniture. Like a footstool or something.

1. Obtain 5.25" floppy drive and cable.
2. Obtain large amounts of games on 5.25" disks.
3. Hook up all equipment necessary.
4. Wipe hard drive, and install a version of MS-DOS no later than 6.22
5. Voila! You now have a classic DOS gaming machine. Rev it up, and knock yourself out playing Bubble Bobble!

I could do that, but alot of those old DOS games bore me to death (except for lemmings). i'm too jaded by new games like BF2.

I liked the furnature Idea, lol

 

[Mr. Switch]

Get a hammer and smash it up and then take all the pieces and glue them onto a big piece of paper, frame it, and put it on your wall. I did it with CDs.
