Selling an old desktop pc - how much to ask for it?

Hi all. Another newbie here. Just clearing out the loft to try and stick to my decluttering pledge for the new year. I have a redundant desktop pc that still works but is quite slow. There is nothing on it I need to keep. I have run a program call Speccy to find out what ingredients make up the computer and the results are below. I realise this is not gonna sell for much but just wanted more knowledgable feedback on a fair price to ask - or should it go straight to the tip?

I'm not a techie so simple replies appreciated.

many thanks

It’s not something we can advise on, it won’t be much at all though, the pc wouldn’t be able to load windows 10.

Best to check out sites like eBay for similar stuff.

As the forums belong to PC Specialist who build and sell custom PCs and laptops we can't really help other people sell their PCs. You could try an open forum like Tom's Hardware.

What I would say is that that looks extremely old and I'm not sure you'd get much for it as even a cheapo laptop off the shelf would probably have a lot more horsepower than that. 65nm is pretty old (7nm CPUs are starting to come out). Even this 6 year+ old PC is 22nm. 'nm' isn't everything, it's just you don't see 65nm every day these days

You might get more selling the parts individually.

It might still be usable by someone with very modest needs with something like Puppylinux put on it.

Make sure to erase the hard drive before giving that to anyone. e.g. using DBAN

Depending what kind of Windows licence it is, you might be able to keep that. If it's full retail, you can transfer it to another PC. If it's OEM, you might still be able to associate it with a Microsoft account and then use it on another PC. That could be a big saving down the line for any future system you buy yourself.

And if you do decide it's not worth selling or selling for parts, then consider offering it to charities or schools / colleges who might find a use for it, let their students dismantle it for lessons, etc.
