I'm looking for everyone's professional opinion here. Someone has an old pc laying around and I would like to get it to play with setting up a server or firewall for a home network or something like this (I would be using Linux). I told them I would buy it off them but I'm not quite sure how much I want to spend. What do you think this computer is worth and how much would you pay? (US dollars please smilenod ) I'm looking for a quote on just the pc, no monitor or anything else, I have extra of all the goodies.

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 98
CPU Type: Intel Pentium, 200 MHz
Motherboard Name: Unknown
Motherboard Chipset: Unknown
System Memory: 64 MB
BIOS Type: Compaq (03/17/97)
Video Adapter: ATI Rage/Rage II PCI
Audio: Creative SB 32 Audio Adapter
CDROM: LITEON CD-ROM LTN403L (40x CD-ROM)
HDD: 1523 MB

Thanks for all your opinion!

I wouldn't spend much more than that. Actually, the only thing worth anything in it is the CD. 40X is still pretty good.

I agree with both of you. I figured I wouldn't spend much more than $25. I just wanted to make sure I was being reasonable. Sounds like it!
