Comment on Is it possible to sell semi-old computers/parts?

I put them on marketplace, in case someone need some parts, for instance an old dell tower with an i7-3770, 16GB RAM, a somewhat standard radeon, for 50$. If it is not sold after a few months it goes to the recycle center.

I feel encient. Tht setup isn’t old at all, it is still relevant. Now, if you said an AMD Athlon or a K6-III…
I still have my old i386 somewhere.

I wish I still had my old computers. I really miss my 98 machine with an 8mb 3D Rage Pro. I used that until 2005. Ive been buying some WinXP errands stuff recently, since it seems to be in the sweet spot for buying right now. I got a pair of quad core Xeons for $10! Ive got 32gb of DDR2 for $35. The GTX 980ti wasn’t super cheap, but thats a card you maybe still could use today. This is going to be the bitchin’-est XP machine. Im excited.

Ahahah looks great man…
I whish I had an old 8088/8086 with 1mb RAM a 20mb HDD (not yet IDE) and both 3.5 and 5.25 floppy drives. I still have somewhere Ultima 7 original with a full set of 5.25 big floppies… And Ultima Underworld 2, both original monkey islands with 3.5 floppies… And many more.

Oh, thats really cool. I never had any pre-pentium stuff. I used an Apple ][ in school, and I remember playing Oregon Trail on 5.25 floppies, on a beautiful green monochrome monitor. But my first computer at home was a Pentium 133. It was a Compaq LTE 5300, with the docking bay, the CD drive, extra batteries, all the fixings. I loved that thing.
