I am a hoarder when it comes to parts. I have some sort of logic that keeps me thinking "I may need this one day", Even when I did my newest build the only things I used were standoffs on my board and one cable from the several boxes I have of old parts.
We have a new addition to the household coming if our landlord gives an okay, and I need the space my parts are currently occupying.
Is there a way you folks determine when you can retire parts for good?
 
Solution
Anything older than a year or two, outside of things like standoffs, screws, and maye 3-prong power cord plugs, is probably obsolete and should be disposed of at the electronics specialty recycling of your local dump.
