thankins Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I am trying to build a new computer. and want to get rid of my old one so that I can free up some more cash!!! Since you guys are experts at this kinda of stuff, maybe you could give me an idea on how much I should my system for on ebay...unless someone here wants it ;) here are the specs. Sony Viao: 1.3 Ghz Celeron (don't laugh) FSB 133 Mhz (I believe) 60 Gig HD 512 Megs of Ram DVD CDRW 10/100 Lan Card Mouse Keyboard Windows XP Prof. Office XP Prof. and all the other basics of a computer. What would you suggest? I was thinking (HOPEFULLY) for around three hundred or even more! Notice that I said HOPEFULLY. So what do you think!
