How much is my PC worth?
I have a PC I built back in 2001 that I'm looking to sell as I don't really need it anymore. Here are the specs...
AMD Athlon 900Mhz processor
640MB SDRAM
Nvidia Geforce2 MX400 (I think has 4MB of RAM, could be wrong)
Creative Labs Encore DVD (has encoder card)
Onboard sound
no speakers
no OS (I don't use this computer and XP is installed on another PC)
no keyboad
17" Starlogic CRT flat-screen monitor
Wi-Fi card I can install (have a Rosewill that didn't work in the other PC and a Linksys that should work...I'd rather put the Rosewill in it)
It's a nice computer for someone that just wants to check email, do some web surfing. I did play some older computer games so those could work also. Age of Empire II, Monopoly Tycoon, stuff like that. I'm thinking $100, but with no OS, crap ram and crap video card, if I upgrade them, it might cut into the $100.
Thanks for all the answers so far. And for future answerers, here are some details from the current answers....
You are absolutely right. It is worth absolutely nothing, because no one needs a decent case for a server and everyone would rather pay $150 for an LCD than $10 for a CRT when their monitor goes out. We are in a booming economy, right??
I do have a copy of Windows 98se and ME (blah), so I can maybe install that. I might just part out the RAM, toss the MB and CPU, put my newer PC in this case, sell it, and put new goodies into the other case.

Sorry, but the only pieces of any real value would be the monitor (~$25), the wi-fi card (I don't know), and the case the computer is in (no more than $25). Since most people buy new computers for gaming, or at least something semi-modern for daily use, it's worth next to nothing. But hey, maybe you can get something by donating it somewhere. Good luck!

If you could install an OS on it, then it would easily be worth $100, with the wireless card which is very nice and convenient, and the monitor and everything, i think you could even push for $150. The main features of your computer are most likely the monitor and the wifi card though. Just find someones whos looking for internet and emails, and is looking for a "great deal". Good Luck ~!

Well if it has Windows 98 SE on it, you can pay me 25 dollars to take it off your hands, if it's Windows ME Blah edition, then I'll pick it up for free and then we can play out a scene from Office Space, we can take turns hitting it with a baseball bat, kicking it and punching the crap out of it!
Deal or no Deal? Select now!

This is definitely not worth anything near $100. At most, it's worth like $20. But more than likely it's worth absolutely nothing. Everything is hopelessly obsolete and disposal costs for the CRT monitor would kinda outweigh any price you'd want for it.

If i were you then i would just get rid of it to be honest, no point in selling it really. I wouldn't pay more than 80 bucks, and that's just because of the monitor and the wifi card, and use the computer for parts for my old desktop.

As you might know, computers lose their value each year, this computer seems to be from 1999-2000's. I would recommend you to sell it for about 75 dollars or try to sell the monitor by itself for about 50 (if its in good conditions). Memory RAM is enough. You should install Windows XP also, so it would be more attractive to buyers. Try to sell on your local newspaper or craiglist.

Well some specifications of it sounds better than some old computers making it not the worst computer. SOooo, im saying maybe 100-150$

Wow... 900mhz processor? Is that even worth selling? I wouldn't pay $25 for it, honestly.
