I've got a lot of old stuff lying at my parents that I need to get rid of.

They are:

1) Old UPS (dead)
2) Really old speakers (don't know working status, must be dead too)
3) Old KB and Mouse (KB has keys missing)
4) Old PC tower that has - PSU (think it's dead), CD Drive, Floppy Drive, Pentium Proc (P3 I think), Mobo. No RAM or HDD)

What do I do with these? Is there a shop in Delhi that would buy this stuff?
 
experiment!
Get online, find projects that you can use your components in.
Try fixing some components yourself.
You'll barely get 100-200 bucks if you sell the lot..so might as well have some fun with it.
 
Depends on your priorities. If you are the busy kind living in a place with limited space (like flat/apartment) and want to get rid of the stuff, just sell it by the kilo :)

If you are the kind who has the time and inclination to experiment and play with old stuff, just keep it with you; add it to your trash collection :P (like I do to mine )

But since you asked the question, I know you want to dispose of it, so I suggest u just go ahead and free some space in ur home.
 
Dont give it to a scrap dealer/kabadi .. someway or the other it ll lead to harmful results.

try to look up a way to dispose the dead parts properly. since u r in delhi, you can visit Nehru place. There is a seconds shop which ll take give some money for working parts of the rig.

You can ask them abt safe disposal of the worthless machinery you got.

ya, exactly. I was thinking of setting up a torrent box but I'll need a working monitor, RAM, HDD, PSU etc. I think it's pointless spending so much on an old rig.

That's what I was hoping for. Don't care about the money. But do you know any address/location? :huh:
 
i was actually thinking about doing something experimental like using the box to make some kind of control pod to do things like control motors to open close your curtains/adjust lighting etc...
or anything else for that matter...doesn't have to be practical, but if you've got the inclination, I'm sure you could find something to do with your components
