Donate it to an organization for a tax break. We did that with our past 4 computers, it’s not bad of a tax break. =) ---

take it apart. There’s no better way to learn how to build a computer than by ripping one to shreds :). Plus, some of the parts on older computers are useful since they’re rare, like the big 8 1/2" floppy drives. ---

since you will never use it again really, i would suggest selling it (for like $25-50) to an older person who just wants to be able to get online, have email, and wordprocessing…a 333 penitum II is plenty fast enough for that (heck i was still using a 200 mhz pentium last year!) if that doesn’t work, I would suggest throwing it out the window. we threw a monitor out the window (from the fifth floor) at my dorm…it sounded like a gunshot when it exploded on the concrete. the actual computer probably wouldn’t be quite as cool as a monitor (they’re charged with gases or something) but it would still be entertaining. -teet [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/any-ideas/26497.md?page=2)
