I'd pay $300 for it tops, and that's only if you throw in the legal licensed copy of windows in. sorry, but that's pretty outdated.. Try charging $400 for it, but not to us knowleadgeable people. or donate it to the SMx project and get you a tax deduction.

Price? I guess it depends on who you can sell it to. If you had a computer store you might find some poor sucker that would purchase it for $600 or even $700 if it had a monitor, but I'm w/ Kanez on the price for someone a bit more "in the know" at around $300.

Kanez: Loved the image in the funny pics thread and I love it even more as your AV. ;D

It all depends on where you sell it. I'm a great believer in darwinism, and P.T. Barnum's saying that "there's a sucker born every minute..." Invest $10 in a new floppy and throw it on ebay. Set the reserve at like $300, with a "buy it now" of $500 or so. If you're lucky, some butthead will buy it for $500. :D

If you're gonna sell it here... I'll give ya $5, if you throw in windows. :D

If someone else will kick in the $50, it's a deal. I can't spend more than $300 on a computer that I'm not even going to own ;D
