Your parents might be alright, but I've heard a lot of horror stories where parents sell, give away or trash people's old computers.

i.e. If you care about it, better keep it close to you.

I had an Amiga 1000 in a staircase closet in my parent's basement. It just needed a new floppy drive and keyboard. My brothers cleaned up and found it broken and threw it away.
