That's a good machine. The problem is that one can buy more machine than that very cheaply. The problem is finding a buyer that would pay a decent price for a "like new" computer when that buyer can go with a new system for the same or less money. It's a tough sale. I'd keep it as a backup.

or, the sum of individual parts greater than the whole... If you know someone able to take apart and put back together the parts of a pc system, then they might buy... - 80G harddrive - 256 mem - 17" trinitron - $160 Nvidia card, speakers+subwoofer and maybe part of the payment is to rebuild your pc using very low cost components, plus adding a home networking to it so that you can use it to do backups from your new pc, plus maybe even run in parallel on the "new" cheapo monitor something nice to have displayed all the time if you have the space to place a second monitor next to your new pc.
