    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    If there are any heatsinks or fans on it, take them off. But apart from that there's not much that's usefull.

    Unless your an electronics geek and want to solder off some of the components, not a lot really.

    You might be able to ebay the CPU if it's in working order - presume you have re-used the RAM? If not, you'll get a few quid for that too.

    You could use it as a frisbie?
