I want to sell my desktop computer. Problem is it completely stopped working,and the price to fix it would cost about as much as a new one but other wise it is in good shape as far as appearance. So question is anyone know of anyplace that would by a computer that's not working? Obviously I know I wouldn't probably get very much for it. Also what should I do about my hard drive with all my personal info on it?

you could always ebay it for as is, Or what i would do is to sell the components piece by piece o nsomething like ebay, or local computer shows, another good place is craigslist, As far as the hard drive goes if you need to back up data you could add it as a secondary drive to your new computer. If you dont need the data just format the drive that will get rid of your personal data.

i dont think anyone will buy a non working computer. go auto with it and sell it for parts. im sure that most of the parts are still worth something. especially RAM and Graphics Cards, Sound Cards. all that good stuff.

Take it aside and record the CPU and person boards on ebay. you may in all probability get £50 to £a hundred or so for the bits, and only scrap the case. the different determination is a vehicle boot sale & sell the whole gadget as-is.

Sell it on Ebay, people will buy it for at least parts. To clear off your hard drive, use DBAN:
