PS3 Broken mainboards - what can I do with them, short of sending them to be recycled

[Raidmax]

As the title states, I have collected several broken mainboards over the span of ~ a year or so.
Almost all kinds that I could, bar COK-001 which is pretty much inexistent where I live (unless it's a import.), and SUR-001. Some are gone, but a few have still eluded my search until now, when I gathered a few of the dead boards I have around the house during some "summer-end" cleanup.

Is there anything worth saving off those? Or should I just send them for recycling?

The only one I can see valuable to keep in the future is a KTE-001 that has had power issues and was discarded - the RSX might come handy someday as I have a CECHC04 (probably listed in my signature, 500GB drive) that is in quite dire need of a new RSX.

The rest are as follows:

-2x DIA-001 - one was an attempt of delidding on a already dead board (GLOD), the other has been freshly ripped out of a H04 that I used as basis for rebuilding a 65nm unit (VER-001)
-JTP-001 - artefacts
-JSD-001 - dead
-VER-001 - dead (someone killed the CELL with a delid before me)

Any answer is appreciated. I just want to know whether these might be useful for someone or if I should just keep the broken KTE-001 for its RSX and send the rest to recyclers.

btw sorry if I posted in the wrong section.

Maybe practice soldering? Might be able to sell them for cheap to get idps from, if someone can "patch" rather than fix them. I remember there was someone on GBAtemp who bought broken systems to repair. I don't know if maybe someone here would be interested, but iirc from the rules, they don't allow buy, sell, trade on here in case someone gets burned. However, you could try selling them as a lot on eBay or something. I'm sure there are plenty of hobbiests on there.

Pretty much none are able to be fixed/patched enough to run.

Unless you practice soldering, I'd just recycle them. My city got a bigger recycling center called the met, and they take just about anything including electronics.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Kept one of the DIA-001s for practice and the KTE-001.

The KTE is going to be sold with the C04 in my signature to anyone who will want to do a Frankie for themselves in my country. I personally don't have the funds to get it done so I give up on that console.
