This is the one hobby where you actually might use the thing you're hoarding just in case.
last week i needed the dvi to hdmi converter cable i've been saving in my cable hoard for like 8 years and i have never felt so validated
Nice! So vindicating when that happens.
but it is a double edged sword, lol. now that i have proved to myself that those cables really will come in handy one day, i am forever stuck with a slowly growing stash of cables!
True. But do I really need all those case fans that I'm holding onto? Or that big bag of DDR3? Probably not but it's cool ok...
All I can say is that you'll need them within 6 - 12 months of getting rid of them.
