[maypep_necro]

Hi, i was wondering if this computer still worth some bucks, cause I've bought it years ago and i never used it yet....

Probably last.

Actually, I think that if you market it correctly you may be able to recover at least 1/10th of 1% of the purchase price. :roll:

What's he doing now? Selling the Brooklyn Bridge? Dry swampland in Florida? Or maybe he's doing 7 to 10? :lol:

Give it time and it'll be worth something someday. Look at the value of old cars. This too is an amazing engineering achievement. Antique gramophone anyone?

A lightning fast 20Mhz processor.

Yummy.

Check museums and tech schools. I can see it now:

"All right class, here are the specs of this computer. Now build me a useful office application for it."

OK we all had fun at your expense but seriously you probably can only get a couple hundred bucks 200-300 for it. The IRS says computer hardware depreciates at about 33%/year.

The IRS can say what it wants, but for the same price what raving lunatic is going to look at THG's $300 PC config and this vintage bucket of bolts and say "Tandy's for me!" :lol:

Couldn't see the picture because of our office firewall what's worth the 300 bucks is apparently his current rig:
Graphic card: Geforce 6200 TurboCache 256 mb
CPU: Pentium D 920 2.8 GHZ Dual cores
OS: Windows XP Media Edition
PSU: 350W
2048 MB RAM
I don't even think I have socks as old as that Radio Scrap POS.
