Any advice on reusing old laptops?

I have 4 laptops from 2010 at home Also have another 2 at the office that are from 2004. It's incredible how all of them are still functional. These all have some minor issue or another though.

I also have 2 more that have been storage for God knows how long and they are properly dead.

What do you guys do? Is is any value in trying to sell them or maybe use for something?

Id say either scrap the screens to get an insane 5 screen station or turn them into oldschool gaming machines, some emulators will run on anything.

Great idea actually, if only I had a little bit of skill and solder to pull off this heist.

I feel like a cheap solder from amazon and some youtube videos might be enough, it might come out jankie as hell but atleast it will be a cool project!

Was thinking of using some as a streaming machine. The network adapter's on these things are ancient lols. I dont mind tossing the really old and non functional ones out. But having a bit of a hoarder personality, throwing out functional laptops is kind of hard for me..
