clubhouse Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'll swap you a pint of soured milk for it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballistic Gelatin Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'd remove all of the updated components (HDD, RAM) and just sell it for parts on one of the used PC forums. Old hardware just isn't worth much. Maybe USD10 if it's in really good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davmil Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Maybe someone on ebay might buy it for parts. The hinges and frame parts are probably as valuable as anything besides (possibly) the hard disk. Best advise - give it to your kid or younger siblings to learn on and you won't have to cry when they break it OR, reformat it and use it for a dedicated purpose like alarm system. I setup one like that after re-formatting and use it to ONLY do my banking/bill paying so I'm fairly confident it's malware free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCross Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 It's in great condition so that it can work for another 10 yearsA processor is to live for about 4-6 years, then the decay starts. The same can be sayed with the HDD, but the HDD last longer, for about 7-10 years, from that point the decay starts.The laptop would get so hot only by keeping it open for few minutes.

nuthut Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 why not make a linux box or a hackintosh out of it?The first one would be a really good tool for a younger person to get on the internet with without having to worry about bad things infecting the PC and the second suggestion is a really cool project for aging PCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackchildcx Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) You can get 1000 bucks if you are lucky...but keepin it real.....0€,0$...I would keep it as a Linux system...or just for watching movies...I used a very old xp device long time. with Conectify hotspot to get my tv conected as I had no wlan..Dont you know young kids with no pc´s? start something social and give it away...ITS ALWAYS GOOD GIVE PEOPLE SUCH THINGS FREE IF THEY HAVE NO MONEY.....think bout this! maybe you can make someone happy?cheers Edited May 17, 2014 by Blackchildcx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deunan Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 A 10 year old laptop which came with XP you'll get about 500 or less... As i gave mines to a friend which came with XP, after i upgraded the HD & Ram, and Installed Windows 8 Pro on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paft Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Don, install "Windows XP Pro Performance Edition SP3 November 2010":http://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/218185-why/?p=784167or 8.Where I work mechanics buy these old type of rugged laptops because they have a serial port (but you can get USB converters these days) and don't need to waste money on a nicer one.I refurbished 3 of these last week. I was surprised, they can actually have quite a high resolution if I remember correctly. I get though a lot so I forget quickly.

Interesting he says he's from the US, yet can't write in proper English and thinks a 10 year old laptop is worth more than a brand new one.

Deunan Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I meant $500 GYD (Guyanese Dollars) which is like $2.40us. Sell it on eBay maybe someone who wants a laptop but doesn't what to spend more than $25us on one. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
