When you have your custom machine for many many years and ready to build yourself a new one, what do you do with your old rig that has seen its years of use?

RE: Worn out custom machines

I am in that situation right now. I plan to upgrade it on december during christmas time. I plan on sell my old setup.. even though it should be around 1/6 of the original price, i pretend to buy the GPU with it.

My main concern is what architecture i will get, i don't know if those i7 are worth it. Ryzen seems to be quite almost the same and it's around 400$ less than intel built systems.

I keep it for atleast a half a year, for data transferring, if I accidentally delete a backup of something I wanted to save. After that, I put everything on it to an external drive, and trash the computer.

Most parts get kept, never know what you may need in the future. All hard drives are formatted and re-used in some way.
