Depends on what old stuff you have.
You might not have time for it now but, maybe some day again the retro bug might bite you and then you have nothing to play with 🤣

If they are Netburst and up I usually try to max them out as much as I can with parts on hand and put a Linux distribution with some basic/free productivity programs on them. Then I give them to people I know that want/need such a system.

Main pc: Asus ROG laptop. I7-6700HQ, GTX 960M 4gb, 16gb DDR4.
Retro PC: Soyo P4S Dragon, 3gb ddr 266, 120gb Maxtor, Geforce Fx 5950 Ultra, SB Live! 5.1

You people need to get larger living quarters! 😁 Stuff that seem to just be gathering dust now could come in handy in 15 years or so. Box, tag and put in storage.

When it comes to Netburst stuff I agree with ODwilly though, if you can find someone who will use it then great!

Main PC: Dual Xeon X5690@4.6ghz, Evga - SR-2, 48gb memory, Intel X25-M g2 SSD and a Nvidia GTX 980 ti.
Retro PC #3: K6-2 450@500mhz, PC-Chips m577, 256mb sdram, AWE64 and a Voodoo Banshee.
