If you are going to throw the laptop away, you should at least keep the harddrive. Buy a cheap laptop harddrive enclosure and you have a nice and tiny portable harddrive that fits in your pocket.
Heck, sell it on CP.

This.
I have a fancy little hard drive reader that I got at Memory Express that reads both 3.5" and 2.5" IDE or SATA drives. I simply pull out all my old hard drives and keep them. Even when you try to back every thing up you never know when you might need something you forgot to save. Having an old 10gb HD around isn't of much use but at 3.5"x8"x1" there's really no harm in putting it on a shelf with a few others to collect dust.
