I want to sell it so I can start working on building a better one. It's a decent machine for working, and it knows how to play a little bit.
Custom whitebox (Even though it's black =P)
ECS PT800CE-A 478-socket motherboard
Intel Pentium IV 2.4 GHz, 800 MHz FSB
512 MB DDR SDRAM, PC 3200
Seagate Barracuda 80 GB ATA/100 hard drive
ATI Radeon 9600, 128 MB AGP 8x graphics
52x32x52x CD-RW drive
Windows XP Professional SP2
Microsoft Office 2003
2 front USB 2.0 ports
The casing itself is black and the CD/floppy drives are both beige which makes it look rather tacky, but it still runs fine, just not quite powerful enough for me. A friend is egging me on to get more into gaming.
It also has a Pentium 4 label and an Ubuntu Linux label, I dunno if that matters to people but it might.

I'd buy it for the kids for no more than $100 providing that you are in full compliance with XP OS & Office EULA regarding selling M$ software.

Used computers aren't worth much. People treat computers as disposable appliances. They aren't normally interested in buying used stuff. They just go out and get a new unit at a retail store. I suggest you keep the unit as a backup. You can find operational computers set out to the trash.
After you get a new computer running you might then find someone that could use the machine and the motivation is usually to enable someone else.
