im now computer salesman but around $1500 - $2500

I would not go that high, but it is a good system. Systems with less than yours seem to go for about $500-$600 on ebay.

Selling point: Your mobo may support up to an XP 2100 processor (I think, check the manual. A bios flash may be needed for faster cpu).

Your system worth no more than $900.

Athlon XP 1500+ $40
Asus A7133V SDRAM motherboard $40
Thermaltake fan assume best $40
1.5GB PC133 SDRAM $120
120GB IBM HD $100
Sony floppy $10
250Mb zip $50
16X SAMSUNG $35
48X Generic CDRW $40
SB Live Augedy 6.1 $100
Modem + NIC $30
Neon light case, assume Thermaltake $100
MS Wireless key + mouse $60
Radeon 8500 All in Wonder $120

40+40+40+120+100+10+50+35+40+100+30+100+60+120= $885

That's how much I can get it for Brand New.

But when its old, only worth perhaps 80-90% of of new value, there you have maybe 799.

Trent, for $1500, I can buy an Athlon XP 2800+, Asus Nforce 2 motherboard with 1GB of PC3200 and 250GB of HD and Radeon 9500 hacked into Radeon 9700 PRO. $1500-2500, very ridicous price.

It's used, so I wouldn't pay more than $500 (around $1200 when all the parts were new), especially since I'd have to add a monitor.
Good luck.

No monitor-$450 to $500 tops

OK...well i guess I'd better use it for the next few years then...well thanks a lot for all your ideas guys...

peace,
