How do I find out the value of my computer for resale? Operating system, memory, hard drive, etc...?

Well, you dont need to be too specific. A second hand pc is immediately worth about half to 3/4 the original value. So find a similar specced new pc, and work out what the price difference would be.\nThe OS doesnt affect the value of a pc unless its absent or very outdated\n\nGenerally, the amount youll get for it is the amount people are willing to pay. The older a system is, the less likely it is that someone will want it, and so the price has to drop dramatically.\nAny pentium 3 based system or similar will now be worth no more than about £300

Take it to your local recycling center to have it recycled or have the parts reused to make refurbished computers.  I just wrote an article for someone about this.  (I'm a freelance writer)  Just don't throw it in the trash!

no sure and Microsoft, they have everything, if not there try looking it up and then going with the model number and going to ebay because you would be amazed to know what you can find there.

The best way to find out that info is to go to accessories, system tools, system information, then + sign next to components then click on display. You'll get what you want and much more.

It might be worth something to someone just for the nostalgia. Just the computer, without any accessories? I wouldn't expect to get more than $40 for it. Ebay is your best bet.

See if your town has a 'Thrifty Nickel' kind of free newspaper.  They usually have listings for used computers and accessories.  I bought an older IBM computer with Win98 and a decent monitor for $90 from a man who bought a bunch of computers from a local college.  If you can live without XP, you might do better.  You can still access the Internet and do word processing on older operating systems.\n\nIf you want to buy new, try a place like Office Depot for EMachines desktop PCs.  They've been offering some really good rebates lately.  When we get our rebates back, our new computer with XP, monitor and Canon printer will only cost $300.

The best thing to do would be to check with eBay. You can do a search of current auctions and also do past auctions, I believe 15 days give or take a litte. This will give you a pretty good idea of what the value is and possibly some more information on it.\n\nYou could also purchase a program that can look back further than you are able to do on eBay, of past auctions and you may be able to find one that was sold a while back.\n\nYou may also want to check with an auctioneer or someone that deals with this type of thing, they should be able to give you a better idea.

It would depend on the drive.  All information will be located on the box.  If you are not sure, bring a copy of what your computer has and bring it somewhere like Circuit City.  The sales people should be able to find one that will fit your system.

Ask for one.  Lots of people give away their old computers when they buy a new one.

Not a whole lot.  I've got one too.  If you look on Ebay, you can see what they are going for.
