I have a wallet.dat file from 2011.
IIRC it has about 2 bitcoins on it.
Obviously I want to recover them... But how?
The original computer was dismantled, all I have is the hard drive and the wallet.dat file, what do?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Send it to me I'll recover your 1.9 bitcoins  Edit: seriously though, load up the Bitcoin-qt client on a computer, go to %appdata% if you're on windows or .bitcoin if you're on linux and you'll see a bitcoin folder. Replace the wallet.dat file there with your previous one and you've recovered your wallet. If you feel like tipping 1FvNaRQb31j85YMKosjfqHtTNejWQWzBCf |

Backup your current wallet, and put the old wallet in that wallets place. %appdata%/bitcoin

Wole, that worked, I love you. Give me your BTC address sir.  Also, I see something funny that happened. Apparently I took this wallet offline before some of the BTC in it was confirmed. So one transaction took place in May 2011, the next transaction took place a few minutes ago from the same address lol I assure you, the transaction took place in May 2011, but because I guess it didn't confirm back then, it just now processed? Wtf lol |

Wtf lol I would have said the same thing, if I wasn't too slow.  Anyway, there are other methods to export a wallet.dat - like PywalletIf you aren't going to pay him, the address is down there |
