So Ive already bought a new 2017 MacBook Pro 15'. It's great and I love it but I have this 2011 MBP just sitting here. It has to he same problem that they all had I think. I'd like to do something with it though. I am going to get an external enclosure so I can access my HDD but it would be nice if I could get it fixed.
Im thinking it needs a new logic board..
What would YOU do with it?

Mine has the same issue and is just sitting here. I looked at replacing the
Logic Board - but it's stupid expensive and will have the same issue eventually.

If I understand correctly... there are both early and late 2011s. Are both affected?

Yes, but not yours, as you have a 13-inch screen (correct?). No dGPU, only the integrated GPU. The 15 and 17-inch models have the graphics chip problems.
 
OP:
If your 2011 is a 15" or 17" model, take the hard drive out and keep it.
The rest -- you could "sell it for parts".
Buy beyond that... it's not worth much any more (sigh)...
