Computer Gurus, Come On In.
I have a spare desktop that has been sitting in a closet not being used. I am thinking about selling it since I don't really have much use for it. I've been a little out of touch with computer prices over the last year and was wondering how much you think I should ask for it.
It's an HP dc7100 SFF business desktop
Intel P4 3.0 GHz
512 MB DDR RAM
40 gig SATA HD
Integrated sound and video
DVD-RW drive
10/100/1000 ethernet card
17" CRT HP 7500 monitor
HP keyboard and mouse

Check out craigslist to see what current prices are in your area.

That is a 2.8 w/ DVD burner but no monitor
I guess $350 is probably closer to what you can expect in Ca

Shane, there's another option you might want to consider.
We had an extra computer, monitor, desk, etc. , everything ready to roll. I enquired about a needy Mother with children and found a girl with two children. I loaded it in my truck and delivered and set it up for them. It was their first full computer set-up they ever had. They were estatic. A few years later this teenage boy came up to me and said he was one of the children that we gave the setup to with a big smile on his face, and said thanks again. This was worth so much more than just trying to sell it.

There is a good chance I will get a new computer later this year and will definitely do this with my current machine. I've got similar specs to Shane's so should be good enough for a couple of years for basic home use. It's still serving me right now.
