What to do with old pc's

googler

It always used to horrify me when watching House Doctor, Property Ladder and the like, the 'developers' would get to the kitchen, and all of a sudden feel the need to attack the units with axes and sledgehammers - when some judicious use of a screwdriver would have made the job - a - less messy, and - b - yield some units which could be freecycled or donated to some charity or other.

I have just bought a new PC tower and was debating the best thing to do with the old one!
I think I will be going down the hammer and axe route with it!!:D:D

Anyone got any useful suggestions for getting rid of the mountain of back -up discs I have for my old PC? (They are not useable again I think which is a great pity):(

Just to say to Sorry to everyone who really thought I was about to actually smash up my old PC:o:eek::eek: I did not mean that I was going to do it literally!!!:eek::eek: ( I'm not an Amazon!!!!)
When I have got some free time I will be taking it apart and then putting it on the freecycle site.
Not sure which are the most useful bits for people though.

Thanks.:)

Sell the lot (without the hard-drives if you want to keep them).
Someone will take them off your hands, use what they want/need and junk the rest (or sell them on).
