My friend gave me an eMachine that didn't work. I reseated the system and now it powers on. It's an eMachine T6211 and here are the specs:
CPU: AMD 64 Athlon 3200+
HDD: Seagate Barracude 160GB
MOBO: MSI RS480M-IL
RAM: DDR 512MB
PSU:300W Bestec

Would it be cheaper to sell these parts individually? Should I switch out the case with my junkyard-found case? Would the switch decrease the value? Thank you!

Old system from a brand that is unreliable, $50 about right.

WHOA, that is really low. Would I even make anything selling it part by part?

Also, do you think 2 fried motherboards would be worth anything? Or should I just use them to release my anger at times?

There are two boxes like that both working sat in our communal hallway because a local school throwed them out.
We took them in case somebody needed a free pc, but nobody has actually
come to collect one.

The minimum spec for a pc to be 'saleable' is in my opinion,is an amd 5000+,or an intel core 2 duo E6300
with windows 7 on. That should get you £70. ($100).
