This is an old system. Maybe 8 years old or so. I was wondering how much I would be able to get from it. Its and old HP workstation. I don't remember which at this time but I do know I looked it up before and it was expensive. Only the PSU was $100. The front panel was $25, the side panel was $45, the CPU was $150!!! Anyways... some specs are the cpu is 2.4ghz Intel xeon. The mobo has 2 CPU slots. It has 2 or 4gb of ram I think and the GPU is 32mb I think XD. I was wondering how much I could sell it for on kijiji Canada. If I went with the numbers I got from adding up what other people are selling there parts for nobody would buy it. I'm saving for something like a tablet or something so this money would go a long way. Any answer at all would help and I'll be sure to post the product name as soon as I find it again :)

Yeah, really.

Truthfully, what good is it? The side panel was $45? whoopdedoo. The CPU was $150? Today, you can buy 10x that CPU for the same price.
How well would that thing run current consumer grade applications? Not very well, if at all.

It would take a very specialized buyer, looking for a box for a particular purpose to even consider it. I have a similar era box that serves as the house firewall. I got it for $50, incl a monitor, speakers, and a laundry basket of other crap.

PC stuff value falls very, very quickly.
