The only sort of decent bits are the CPU and memory amount. The rest just looks like you have just put a load of bits you had lying about in a case to sell it on.
I carry a similar pc in the car as a replacement set I lend to customers if I need to take their pc away for repair when I arrive late to a site or something.
You may be able to sell it to someone, people always like to think they are getting a bargain not paying the prices in shops but they rarely get anything worth buying, pc's move on so fast. Try find someone who doesn't have a clue and tell them they can have it for £150 stick a network card in it if it doesn't already have one and tell them it is broadband ready and they will be happy and give you the money without thinking.
Just don't sell it to anyone I know.
if you plan to sell it in a classifieds then list all the components not just CDrw tell them the make and model same with the memory if it is branded etc it all makes a difference to make it sound better if they ask an knowledgeable Friend before buying. based on your description above I would never buy it it could have an asrock board, maxtor 40gb drive along with many other common failing parts.0 -
if I were you I'd just keep it as a second pc, or a spare, test machine, as you can get some good ones from dell for as little as £199, so you wouldnt re-coup any costs, sorry but with vista coming out pc's are at rock bottom prices at the moment.
Pls be nice to all MSer's
There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.
Tomorrow never come's as today is yesterday and tomorrow is today
