Are the HD and RAM or an old computer worth anything?

Question

Like a older computer that has been used and somebody wants it should i ask for money and how much?

Answer 1

it really depends... how old... and how big (in Mb's)

try ebay to reserach how much are the components worth...

to me, it's gotta be new, strong, fast, and a lot of Mbs... or it's worthless, I have some 5GB HD's laying around, not even worth using a bay on my desktop, and memory? newer motherboards are not even compatible with old chips.

Answer 2

I think the Pentium 4 is fast enough to handle streaming video. If you're considering a Radeon 4600 series card, you should know the manufactruer's published requirements are overstated. The Radeon 4650 and 4670 work fine on 300W power supplies for the vast majority of computers, they don't usually need 400W.

Answer 3

RAM and motherboards are upgraded by newer faster hardware very often so more than 2 years old,not worth the bother.
But please recycle old electronics responsibly as they contain a high proportion of poisonous non degradable materials and should never be sent to a landfill.

Answer 4

I've seen a lot more people use old computer components to make jewelery and other assorted decorative items that fetch nice money at shows and flea markets

Answer 5

The hard drive could be worth a fortune if the wrong people get ahold of it. Ram is worth what you can get for it.

Answer 6

It depends on:
1) how old
2) the type and amount of RAM
3) capacity of the HD.

Answer 7

Depends on what kind of memory you have, if its just generic common stuff then no not really, if its rimbus then yeh you will get a little money for it.

sell it on craigslist

Answer 8

No. Outdated.
