How Much is my computer worth?

I Have a 2006 Dell XPS 630i in pretty good condition and am wondering how much I could sell it for.

I have installed Windows 10 on it

intel core due quad core

4 gb samsung ram

750w power supply

decent nvidia graphics card (I don't know what it is exactly)

You could try eBay to see what people are asking, but there is no guarantee you will get what they are asking.

much newer faster systems are $100  so your system is worth $0.

I've come to look upon old gear as being something of a liability, at least until I can get all the drives out of them.

Then, I pull out SATA cables and perhaps the memory.

At times, it kind of hurts to leave the PSU, but I don't want to set myself up for a bunch of hassle by hanging on to even the best of them.

Everything that's left in the case goes to Goodwill for recycling.

In last month, I parted with GTX8800 and GTX285 video cards that I paid over $1000 bucks for (combined) back in 2008-9.

Such is the fate of old computers.

zero go to ebay type that, click check more sold only' see now what it is worth zero. why strip it, just park it in the attic, and if you need parts , then fish them out. zero labor till then. if ever. goodwill does not like stripped PC, ok? see $17 one sold there to a , no lack of them there. fleabay, those folks that think 13 year old PCs are worth same as 5 year old, are a sellers paradise.

Goodwill in my area don't resell computer equipment.

They recycle it:

Come on @savvy2 

Get your story straight before posting.

@ivanmoe  is correct:

Its called "Dell Reconnect"

https://corporate.delltechnologies.com/en-us/social-impact/advancing-sustainability/how-to-recycle.htm#/cdt/home/pcs-and-laptops/dell-reconnect-card-1

Find a Dell Reconnect Location near you:

Before becoming "R2" certified we donated tons of scrap equipment to "Goodwill"

You even get a receipt for the donation.

Now everything goes to "SER"

@Anonymous 

I was just referring to the comment "Goodwill does not like stripped PC"

We would take pallets to the loading docks at our local Goodwill.

Some stripped and some not.

All had the HDD's removed so we could destroy them ourselves.

Due to contractual obligations.
