What the fuck do you do with them?

My Radeon X600 has broken, keeps crashing whilst playing games, no amount of driver updates could change it, so yesterday went and spent £100 on a "256MB XFX GeForce 7600GT XXX Edition PCI-E" card from cclonline.com, so now I will have an X600 (broken) and a X300 that came with the PC lying around.

Is there anywhere I can dispose of these old cards?

Standard yahoo group.

Personally I prefer forums such as this, but it works better for some people, as they can easily view them at work, etc.
