hmmm, somebody might give $150 for it. Personally I've given away computers that are twice that speed. But if it's a complete system and works good...then I'd say it's worth $75-$125. That's strictly a guess. I don't really know what used stuff goes for because I usually end up giving most of my old equipment away. (not sure why, I think I'm trying to rack up good karma points in case I do something really bad.)

$1 per mhz is sortof a std price for use
systems, so $150 is a correct price.

Thanks for the replys guys. It works fine but not for the games my nephew wants to play. Also it was a pian to add a 20 gig hd.
It would only let me add as 10 2 gig partitions and not knowing where to find a bios upgrade I didnt want to confuse my parents anymore. Got a great system at office depot. $400 for a 700 duron,20 gig,64 memory and the usually. Couldnt pass that deal up. So anybody want a 166 for $150?
Thanks again.
