Thanks for the help.

Keep it as a server or something...Selling won't be worth money wise.

[theroflcopta]

yeah i'd say about 100-135 USD if you can find someone willing : /

[hardware_guy]

@DEcobra11 it's a exterbal gpu, the AMD HD Radeon 3450

[Prodigydeadeye]

I would pay maybe $20-$30 at most for this.

[spwath]

40 € for it if it isn't using iGPU (onboard 6150SE)

This is the best thing you can do

It has the HD3450...

 

 

I would just salvage the hard drive, and dvd drive, and get rid of the rest or hang it on the wall like @whoever did that i cant remember who it was.

No one would pay 100-135 dude.

[hardware_guy]

@steffen_anywhere I'm don't really know how to use a server and I won't have much use it for too.

[the ginger gamer]

It depends on the condition and who you sell it to, I got my pc for $125

core 2 duo e6850

4gb ram

Nvidia 9800gt

640gb wd black hdd

So I think if the condition is fine maybe $50-$100 probably closer to $50 though.

[Manny Calavera]

50 pounds

[Prodigydeadeye]

You could maybe reuse the hardrive...maybe. You could just give it to a family member. It isn't worth selling really.

That is quite a good deal.

Wow you got a good deal. The 9800gt is still an okay card that can run a lot of games.

[steffen_anywhere]

Or backup PC then. You could also use it in your living room, bedroom, whatever, as a browsing PC or for streaming, downloading. I found that one can always use an old but functional PC.

[Prodigydeadeye]

Lol, then he'd reuse card reader and DVD rewriter too 

Who uses a DVD burner anymore?

Ya I know I play a low of games low-mid setting. A lot of people don't realize how capable old pc are.

[flibberdipper]

Maybe $100? I would just keep it and use it to fold.

[hardware_guy]

i might just put it up on eBay for £60 and see if anyone buys it, if not then ill probably just use it for the living room.

[toms94z71]

Who uses a DVD burner anymore?

people that do things besides just gaming.

I would keep it as local storage place or something, just get some bigger HDD. You can archive your music, movies, photos, games right there. That's what I did with my old gaming rig, took out GPU (GTX 660ti), sold it, bought some 2TB HDD and placed it in place.

[Stigs]

you may be able to get $30-$50 for it, maybe a little more, but I doubt it. I would keep it and put pfsense on it.

[emachado99]

I wouldn't pay anything more then $40 for it. You can also keep as a server (like a user suggested) or as a Linux machine. Somethin to play around with..

My computer is used for general use and I haven't used my dvd burner since I bought it.

I should have said besides gaming and internet browsing. I have used mine at least a dozen times in the past 2 weeks, burned a few iso disks to try a few different versions of linux on my ancient thinkpad that refused to boot from a usb stick, and then I made a dvd slide show of pictures for some one that I took. I frequently burn dvds of pictures an videos for friends of mine that have uber slow internet because I would rather buy and burn a dvd that cost mere cents for them than to buy usb sticks that cost 10 bux a piece. I know it isn't essential anymore like it was 5 yrs plus ago, but people do still have use for them, especially if their internet sucks and it would take them days to download a program. I have friends not to far from me that can still only get dial up, dsl isn't even available where they live. 56k is all they got.
