It is hard to value an older used computer. On one hand it still does it's job and allows the user to browse the internet etc. On the other hand the capacitors have been aging, the PSU is probably giving out incorrect voltages, and there is no room for upgrade.

This would mean that it also does not come with a Windows OS. This also makes it not a complete machine, drastically lowering it's value.

i could keep the 40 gig in there with windows OS, that's if i decide to go with a laptop in my future purchase. that would also mean i could keep the cd/dvd drive in there.

i've had absolutely no problems with this computer what so ever.

If it is a OEM copy of Windows you can't take it with you anyways. Also if it was legit to take with you, you would need to run a repair install at a minimum but I typically recommend a full reformat.
