i have a TON of computer parts which when i get round to it i plan to build into a linux machine.
i have 4 mother boards but the best one i think has a fault and dies every now and then... :/
i uno
it its old bin it, or freecycle is very good option! google freecycle [your town/city] and you will probably find your local one. really is a good thing.
Yeah if you're not going to hang onto your system you should definitly recycle it. A huge percentage of lead found in landfills is from discarded computers and parts.
BTW I've decided to install linux on my old machine (havn't decided on a distro, maybe debian). If all goes well I will have LAMP going on it in a month, provided that I have the spare time.
I opened it up today after it had been sitting around during my first two years of college to find a huge amount of dust and a small family of yet to be classified mammals inside. The fact that one of the screws on the motherboard is stripped and refuses to come loose isn't going to make cleaning an easy job.
