What's in your computer junk?

This is just within arms reach. I'm packing to move, so I've a lot of stuff in bags and other boxes. Crappy photos because I misinterpreted the 'scan' feature of the Google Drive app on my S3. It uploaded the image as a PDF, so I took a screenshot of that... Crap quality:
Pretty sure the drives are all failed. Been years since I've hooked them up. Should probably hook them up to something and see. Probably would cringe at music I listened to 10 years ago in High School.

I've got some DIMM sticks, a 133mhz Pentium, and a bigfoot within reach. Gods only know what I still have in storage.
Just a few things i threw in a pile sitting around.. have allot more in boxes :/
I have few CRT monitors lying around, all working, somewhat 10-15 years old. All the damaged computer parts, I have dumped in my cousin's computer shop. They break things and use as spare parts. Also, have a P4 system, running transmission all the time, scheduled to download all stuffs that my team is interested after the office hours and also keeping a local backup of our git repo.
drives, cables, boards, yolks, ram, etc.

You forget the rest of us weren't alive in the 40s, suh >_>
I got rid of about 30 hard drives that were all smaller than 75GB a few months ago.

In the basement, togheter with some 8'' floppy drives and a few odd things such as the Ericsson Portable computer with 7'' plasma screen and built-in thermal printer.
In a previous house, I filled the garage with (working) datacenter junk at the point that the car could not enter anymore (2 DEC microvax systems with VT320 terminals and a full set of VMS documentation in orange binders, 1 Honeywell microcomputer, assorted workstations (HP/Apollo/Sony NeWS), disk packs, 8'' CDC hard drives with SMD interface, lots of 5.25'' MFM and SCSI Maxtor and CDC drives.
Cleared most of this mess now, but I can't drop the habit to keep totally useless computing devices that most people will immediately put into the trash.
Great topic, subscribed.
Would you be willing to sell one of the 560ti's or the 650?

hmm I got two Geforce 6600GT with Zalman coolers, ddr1 ram sticks, i3-540 cpu, low profile cpu cooler, few 20-40GB IDE harddrives, old ADSL modem/routers, two 17" CRTs I'm not using anymore and that's pretty much it.
The other CRT reaches better resolution than my 22" LCD ^_^ 1600x1200 vs 1680x1050

I saw how my grandparents never threw anything away and when I was a kid I promised myself to always be the opposite. If it has sentimental value, back up a photo of if before you throw it away
I stayed at my grandparents one winter while they were in Florida, some of the canned goods I found in the cupboard were ready for the museum.I saw how my grandparents never threw anything away and when I was a kid I promised myself to always be the opposite.
