Where do PCs go when they die?

My old PCs are tucked away collecting dust. They were not dead when I retired them, so they were just there to grow old.

I took one out just now - it's a Pentium III. I'm hoping to be able to install Ubuntu on it and maybe use it as a server. So I plug everything in, and .... nothing. Oh oh, I think it died quietly one day. Shucks. Scratch head.

I shall ask my father - think he might be able to come up with something. I just hope it's nothing major like a dead motherboard, cos if need to spend money then no point liao. Hopefully just a loose connector, or no battery, or something like that.

Old PCs never die - they just fade away. :)
