I have a whole shelf of broken laptops, obsolete monitors, junked hard drives, etc, that will probably still be there when I die and my heirs have to clean out my house.
Same, though every year I'm able to part with some of the truly dead pieces of equipment at the recycling center. Those old hard drives pile up, though. But now I've got half a dozen broken laptops—which have awesome screens that I wish I could use.
I had about 30 dead hard drives so I eventually got round to drilling half a dozen 0.5" holes in each then tossing. I think that got me over my paranoia phase dating back to the 1990s.
