Yes. I don't sell my stuff, period. Electronics especially. Never know if you'll regret it down the line.

Man, you can install win95 in a VM (Oracle Virtual Machine is free) and run the DOS based games with DOS box or scumm for the Lucas Arts adventure games (same goes for old consoles, you can be nostalgic for only a few 8,16,32-bit games, beyond that this is too much for me anyway...).

I am not found of old hardware unless it's iconic (the original Apple II, Comodore 64 Macintosh computer, the Atari ST 512, any 68k based Amigas... etc. Maybe the very first IBM PC, but that was a pretty boring machine even in its hay days) no gaming PCs is iconic, maybe specific parts, like an old 3DFX card or Turtle Beach sound card... but since the true gaming PCs are all assembled they are purely a vehicule for the software and I see no possible attachment to them individually, keep in mind that I can't recall the last time I bought a complete system all at once, parts come and go out of that PC box all the time.

 



Usually yes, at least if it's still working in theory.
My 19" CRT monitor died 2 years ago and thus had to get rid of it.
