They might be old Dell Optiplex systems from 2004, but most still work. I got myself 4 of them now and will try to get the most performance out of them, that is if the remaining 3 still work.

I will try figure out what's in them by the end of the week, wish me luck.

They were throwing them out due to warranty.

RAM is mostly missing, but I got lots of old RAM laying around.

@Ihate

Ah.

Our schools use HP PC's from 2010. They are nice but they have Windows 7 Professional SP1.

My school used to put up stickers saying "Google Chrome is a virus, please do not download this software, it slows down computers."

Schools tend to not care about where they go. God, I hate planned-obsolescence. Old computers would work completely fine to this day if they weren't slowed-down by scripts that were >>>intentionally<<< added to make people upgrade their computers.

I didn't think that my old Pentium PC is THAT old and it has 32MB of RAM. I consider pre-1993 stone-age computers.

My school uses old PC monitors and those old HP PC's from elementary school. Now I'm in High school.



This may be sudden, should I view my new siggy?

Parts from inside say they were manufactured either in 2004 or 2005. Makes sense with the 10 year warranty.

Here's the selling average for a older computer that is complete with all parts, in very good cosmetic condition, comes with a HDD and an OS installed with some programs:

Pentium I/II/III PC designed for lower budget: $100-$200
Pentium I/II/III PC designed for servers or high-end computing: $200+
--
Pentium 4 PGA478/LGA775 PC designed for lower budget: ~$50 (sells very poorly)
Pentium 4 PGA478/LGA775 PC designed for servers or high-end computing: $50+
--
Celeron PC from 90's: $50+
Celeron PC from 00's: ~$35 (rarely ever sells, costs more to ship the thing)
--
Athlon PC from 90's: $70+
Athlon Dual-core PC from 00's: $50+

All of these prices are based of collection value and not performance. Of course the Pentium 4 will outperform the Pentium I/II/III, but they never sell and they were so mass-produced that it's hard to even get anyone to take them for free.
