I thinking of selling my pc so i can raise more money for it, what would this sell for:

intel celeron 1.3 Ghz proccessor
384MB sdram
a ECS P6IWF motherboard with 2 sdram slots 133Mhz, 4 PCI slots, 4 USB 2.0 slots
a multimedia keyboard and ordinary mouse
a old internal modem will need to be tested
and a 6 month old GeForce FX 5200 128MB DDR RAM - PCI.

thanx for your replies

You'd be hard pressed getting more than $100 for all the parts together or seperatly. It's not junk by today's standards, but it's far from valuable either, and resale parts are worthless unless they're bleeding edge technology. Sorry

Just look on ebay to get an idea of what it goes for.

However, if you try to sell it, computers are heavy, and shipping may be the turn off if you try to sell it non local. Go for local sell in the classifieds maybe, though you might just want to keep it as a spare old backup machine, as you won't get much for an old one like that I'm thinking.

I nearly sold a monitor for example, on ebay once, then stopped because nobody would ship something that boxed weighed 80 lbs. except UPS, and they would do it for $105.00. Then ebay would take out their chunk too. Better just to keep the monitor.

Might be able to charge a little more than ebay selling locally, as you might have to haggle anyhow too.

Put it on your scale. It varies hugely. Mini-ATXs and macs can be featherweight; loaded full towers get ridiculously heavy.

Put it in a crate and chuck it into the ocean. It will find it's way to me. Trust me.
