Given that Dell sometimes has deals for P4 machines for around $500, I would say that you probably can get around $250-$300 for your machine. __________________ “He is no fool who gives that which he cannot keep for that which He cannot lose.” –Jim Elliott Sony CLIE PEG-S300 + 8 MB MemoryStick --> Dell Axim X5 400 MHz + IBM 340MB MicroDrive + Viking 512MB CF + SanDisk 1GB CF

PIII 500 MHz 384 PC133 SD-RAM 8x DVD-Rom 8x-24x-4x CD-RW TWO 80 GB HDs, and could include a 20GB hard drive as well 64mb Nvidia VIdeo Card 17" monitor Creative SB Live Lansing sound Eithernet Card Floppy 2 USB 1.1 and 4 USB 2.0 56k Modem Gateway Multi- Function keyboard (volume controls and such) NO WARRANTEE how much do you think I could get for that? I do not think I am even going to sell it since, as you said, I probably wont get much, but could possibly buy a lower end machine then just salvage the parts...What do you think?

Not really. Do you want them to keep prices artificially high?
