Barb7802 on Apr 01, 2015The tower box can be used as a very creative Mailbox, Planter perhaps? The Monitor could be a picture Frame. Here is a one way to re-purpose that old PC, click on the link https://www.pinterest.com/pin/261349584597488774/ . Others have turned their PC goods into a Book Shelf, Bread Box and so on. Place the unit in various places, perhaps his will get your ideas rolling. Best to you.Helpful Reply

Sheila Stewart on Apr 01, 2015If it's usable you can put it on Freecycle. I gave one away to someone who's granny still had a big box monitor. They were trying to bring her out of the stone age. lol. It was an old computer, so an older flat screen was perfect. Just tell them the truth about it and someone will want it.Helpful Reply

9530106 on Apr 01, 2015I see commercials on tv all the time for the GW, stating they take computers, etc. as donations. However, I now see you want to repurpose. That might take some imagination! Our thrift stores take, and sell, almost all older tvs and computers.Helpful Reply

Susan Marney on Apr 02, 2015As much as I like the repurposing of items, if the monitor still works give it to someone who can use it. Goodwill doesn't take technology any more because it changes too fast and they just have to toss it. A home schooler or senior could use it.Helpful Reply
