When disassembling a computer, what parts should I keep such as the A, DVD & CD Drive's?

i'm a computer technician, I keep anything i can keep. Some parts even from the motherboard can be used to repair a newer mobo and save money.

I would not waste your time with the A drive. Very few people use floppy discs anymore. New computers don't even come with them. I would definitely keep the CD/DVD ROM drive. Also pull the hard drive and the RAM.

If you want to have extra spare parts laying around you could pull all the cables out as well.

I did this, but they're all out of date so have never used the parts. Waste of time.

I've got a drawer full of 3 -6 gig hard rives, 48 x cd roms, A drives that are no longer used. All useless in even obsolete pcs.

Anything that could be useful later on. But if your like me I have a room full of PC parts cuz I just hate to see the stuff go, but who uses a floppy drive anymore LOL.

you could attempt establishing them from My computing device. flow there, top-click on the cd/dvd force and click Eject. If this works, it will be seen as a short-term answer to the challenge, easily this is the most acceptable answer. yet in case you could prefer to open them directly urgent the button you could contact a computing device keep.

Power supply, cables, HD, BIOS battery, case, and sometimes the RAM. Keep evertthing except the Motherboard.

You could keep the RAM, power supply, CPU, any PCI cards (sound, audio, NIC, etc.) and even most of the ribbon cables. Also the fans. If you're like me I'd also keep any screws I could strip off.

send the shite back in time a few years, like the 90's

6gigs then was unheard of outside main server pcs

cd/dvd drives, floppy, ram, hard drive, any cards. if you can: sound cards, usd cards, prossesor

Pretyy much take anything that can come out.

Floppy drives, DVD/CD drives, your hard drive, and your ram.
