Selling a replaced gaming PC, as it or in parts?

Hardware Build a PC
1

Alright :vulcan_salute:

I want to sell my PC, descended from my first 386 by upgrades, replaced with a laptop :upside_down_face:
Unsure if I should sell it whole or part by part? Will be on eBay. No idea how you even post a full tower desktop PC, and eBay AM3+ stuff ls swamped.
Whats everyone else do with their old, tired, used gaming PCs?
Thanks bro

Thank you. I’ve only just joined the forum so cannot post there until I’m a basic user. Is there anywhere else, general discussion? Not being lazy, just unfamiliar.

How did you delid a soldered chip?

Stanley knife around the edge, put it on top of a range cooker. Using i think a tea spoon balanced under the pcb lip, solder melts with the tea spoon lifting the die/pcb from the ihs.

Pointless but fun, learned a little too.
