I have a shit load of old driver discs, recovery discs, cables, old parts (video, ethernet, sound, HDD). Why do i insist on keeping them?

Thats it, i think on my next upgrade i'm gonna build a spare comp to use up these parts then scrap the rest.

You guys have boxes full of spare shit too?

My dad has a bunch of wierd cables in a box in the garage, but not really.

We recycle a lot of the stuff we have.
