People collect things for different reasons. Some just want every CPU made and even try collecting every stepping produced. Others want their first computer back (or collect specific brands) and some just want a machine of a specific period to run software of that period.

If the machine looked mint and worked it might have been worth it to try ebay, once you get into dead machines missing parts with yellowed cases you are better off recycling.

Well the computer case is just a case - if someone collects - MB - MEM - Chip - peripherals it takes little room up and they can always for fun or necessity build a computer in a modern comp case , The first apple computer was built in a wooden box
