I generally canabalize from my old computer what I can when I build a new one.
When I get enough left overs to make a complete system I do.
Right now I've got my new system (duron 600 based) my most recent system
(K6-III 400 based) and my first computer (NexGen P-110 based) all running.
The NexGen is being groomed for work as a firewall/router while the other two
are for daily use and online gaming.
I usually either give the parts I don't need to friends/family that need them
or I just hold on to them until I need them again.
I'm looking forward to playing around with over clocking my duron system when
I've replaced it with a sledghammer based system. I plan on using the change
over to 64bit processors as my opportunity to go all linux. I won't have any
legacy apps to keep my tied into windows at that point.
