No offence, but the photo does squat.
Based on what the photo shows...$100 tops. Add another $100 for the two monitors (minimum). So...$200.
What you will receive, is based on "what is under the hood" of the computer. If the computer's guts are 5 years old, you'll be lucky to find someone willing to give you the $200 for two full computers.
If the computers are IBMs, you can add 50% (so $300) to what you can make.
Easy way to figure it out is based on the clock speed. If the processor is in the 1GHz range, you can generally expect to see $2-300 each. Much under 1GHz, halve that figure. If it is in the 2GHz range, you can probably see an extra $100 each. So, total, $4-600 for 1GHz, $2-300 for under 1GHz, and $6-800 for both if around 2GHz.
Assuming you're not looking for the old computers to pay for the new computer, you can always donate them to a local school. Done right, you can even obtain a tax receipt against your income taxes for next year.
EDIT: re: obselesence: The newest computer parts on the market are generally 6 months out of date by the time they hit the market. The HD 2400/2600/2900 (nee R600) from ATI is a perfect example...it was being beta tested in September - 9 months ago.

What are the years on the computer, resale value is low on them. since computer are out dated by the time it is 6 weeks old. Will probally only be worth about 250 a piece since you have the tube monitor and not flat pannel. if it for windows 2000 you might get 400 apiece for them. depends on year. and how upgradible they are.

depends on where u live...
but normally old computer price will decrease dramatically in short time...
probably it could sell only for US$50 - 250

Search for that computer on eBay. Find one that is just about to end and has some bidding activity.
