Does anywhere take in old PCs?

    I have a load of old parts lying around. I was going to sell them but not sure how much I'd get for them.

    I was thinking if there's some charity around Dublin that takes in old parts and refurbishes them, I might give it to them, otherwise I suppose I'll try sell them.

    Parts are:
    Asus 9250 128MB
    Geforce 6800gs
    Mercury TV Tuner card
    http://www.mercury-pc.com/product-detail.php?link=p-addcards&subtitle=Add-On%20Cards&productid=97#
    2 x G-SKill PC3200 DDR 512MB CL2.5-4-4-8 (1GB total)
    2 x crucial PC3200 DDR 256MB CL3 (512MB total)
    MSI PT8 Neo-V MS-7043 motherboard including Pentium4 2.4Ghz
    MSI KT4V MS-6712 motherboard with AMD Athlon (dunno which one)
    ASRock 775V88+
    (Intel based: http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASRock/775V88+.html)
    gigbit ethernet card
    case with clear side, LEDs and IDE cables
    

    Do you think I could sell these, or what?

    thanks.

    There is a charity, I think based out INchicore way, that takes in old PC and aprts, refurbishes them and sends off to thrid world countries, Cannot remember the name but they might be willing to take any parts off you.

    why not take the computer apart and take the metal from it and sell it ?

    Coz I'm too lazy to sell the thing. No way would I be bothered dismantling the whole thing for scrap!

    only the case you can recycle and I'd doubt they'd even take it(mind you never tried!).the circuit boards,though they might have gold in them need specialist recycling
