Should I save or throw away my old Motherboard?

On Monday 11 October 2004 08:00 am, jm did deign to grace us with the following:

If you're a hobbyist and like used parts with short leads, you can strip it with a torch and a puller of some kind - wear safety goggles and a breath mask. Take the processor, get the chip out, and make a brooch for your lady. Be sure and get those .025 square pin headers - you never know when you'll need one. And connectors are always handy. Any socketed chips, of course, you just pull. At this age, I'd toss the battery.

Have Fun! Rich

Please tell me what you mean here, explain a little. Thanks:

It's a geek thing. Solder a copper ring to some pins, fit a chain or keyring and look cool as s*it.

I'm saving my old mobos to show the grand-kids how primitive we were. ;)

Anybody got any pictures?

I use them to "canibalize" them for parts (mostly LowESR caps) for repairing other damaged MoBo´s ...
