i was talking with a friend about "donating" old functioning hardware to people/institutions that may need them... i know there are several organizations that collect old computers but in this case i was thinking about something more personal... i just found an old 9800 gt in my friend´s closet and he gave it to someone who now use it to play league of legends... the card would rott in someone´s closet anyway; so would you donate any of your old hardware for lets say... gaming charity?

give\donate old hardware i have all the time. upgrading old systems and building new ones leaves cables, adapters, old HDs, PSUs, motherboards, everything left over. when a friend wants some work they get the best of what i have around to save them whatever i can. anyone else gets whatever will save\earn me some money on the work they want\need.
anything actually worth a bit of money of course goes up for sale on Amazon storefront.

what else would you do with it all? garbage dump(bad idea due to contaminants) or pay to have it disposed of.
