1108777 2010-06-10 08:57:00 Perhaps advertise on TradeMe or the like? Nice legal versions of XP Pro? Sweep (90)
1108778 2010-06-10 08:58:00 For most people IMO should be more than enof. The vid card is more grunty than my own PC - I don't play games. 1GB should be ok too.

If you selling, I guess maybe $350-400, maybe $300 for the Celeron.
Just give the mouse, keyb, screen if old - like givt it to way for free - some may like it....

Or reduce $50 if no Windows CD. I had a look on TM recently and asked questions, a lot of them just play dumb, they say, I have all these $$$ software, meaning thousands of dollars for you and here is a screen shot of the start menu to prove it but I don't have the CDs .... hahahahah..... Like the Corel suits, Adobe Suite, MS Office, lol. I dunno about the Suite but Adobe Photoshop itself (1) cost like $400-600 for the Academic version, haha.

1108779 2010-06-10 09:08:00 they are legal versions of windows not original cd but burnt full install cd included i dont actually have any screens/keyboards/mice i meant if it made the deal more appealing id get a crt, mouse and keyboard from the recycling center ( nice looking, working ones of course :) ) no extra software will be included, it will be a clean install of xp ill install virus protection suites and the other necessities but other than that smithinator (15240)
1108780 2010-06-10 09:09:00 i assume the license sticker on the case will be there .. or you might get some pissed off buyers... Nomad (952)
1108781 2010-06-10 09:12:00 it comes with the product key sticker smithinator (15240)
1108782 2010-06-10 09:14:00 i assume the license sticker on the case will be there .. or you might get some pissed off buyers...

Which is what I was getting to in a roundabout way. :D

I don't assume very much.

1108783 2010-06-10 09:22:00 lol its good not to assume you know what they say happens when you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME, i always liked that saying :) anyway so the pentium is worth $350 and the celeron is worth $300 with no screens keyboards or mice but including a full burnt install cd and original cd key sticker is that right? smithinator (15240)
