Jay Dougherty offers tips on how to reuse, recycle and resell before you dispose of your old computer.Getting a shiny new computer often means figuring out what to do with the old one. Dispensing of an old or unneeded computer is no trivial task. You can't simply throw a PC out with the rest of the garbage.It's illegal to do so in many places, and even if it's not at where you live, it's environmentally unfriendly - not to mention potentially dangerous if someone obtains your old data. It pays to think carefully about how you want to dispose of your old computer equipment. The good news is that you have plenty of options - and an opportunity potentially to make back some of the cash you spent on the new system.
Reuse the old PC
First, figure out whether you really need to get rid of your old computer. Old machines can be great for dedicated tasks, such as backing up newer machines. The Windows Home Server operating system, which at its core is designed as a complete backup system, runs well on older technology.
Windows Home Server is available in an OEM version from popular online retailers such as Amazon.com for USD 149 (EUR 102). Install it on an old computer, and you can kiss your backup worries good-bye - for less than the cost of a decent external hard drive.
If you have enough hard drive space in the old computer, you can even use Windows Home Server to store multimedia files so that everyone in your household can access them.
