413134 2005-12-16 05:42:00 A broken CRT is meant to add value?

Make it $80 then, Your comp is lacking enough grunt to run the installed software.

413137 2005-12-16 05:54:00 maybe $150 on a good day. 15 inch CRTs are worthless these days. gibler (49)
413138 2005-12-16 06:18:00 Unfortunately that computer isn't worth much

You would probably get more for it if you stripped it and sold the parts on TradeMe

But wipe the harddrive first.. whichever way you go.. If you want to sell it with XP on it, wipe the harddrive and reinstall it, but add nothing else

Apple SE macs are perfect for this!
