    Does anyone know where I could go to recycle obsolete computer parts, cases, etc.? I live in LA. Any online resources or drop off places?

    Preesh!

    Yeah, we're talking a computer from 1996. It's unsellable.

    Why not post them on www.craigslist.org (select your city) and see if anyone wants to re-use these parts?

    look in your phone book, there are plenty of companies that do this...the school I go to recycles about every 4 years, and we have a company that comes by and pays us cash for the stuff....they take it and fix it up and sell it to 3rd world countries for cheap...not the best, but hey, it works.

    I just leave the oldest shit out front of the house with the garbage and sure enough before the garbage truck comes its gone.

    There will always be someone that wants your trash.

    Like they say ones mans trash is another mans gold :D

    Well you could actually send it to me if you wish =P Modding is one of my hobbies and I can use any spare parts, especially cases.
