What can I do with all of these?

Linux runs on almost anything. There's no rational reason to use an old power sink to run it, when it eats up more in bills in a year than new better hardware would cost. Windows on the other hand doesn't run on just anything, so there is a rational reason to.

True, but you're missing the important thing, Windows costs money. PCs in question are to be sold for 75$ each (asking for more would result in being laughed at), if I were to install a licensed Windows on them (meaning XP since the license can still be bought and XP supports newer software), they'd cost more than twice that so I wouldn't be able to sell them.

 

Who in their right mind would buy an old Pentium IV for 200$?

 

 

 

And I just found another half-arsed PC hiding behind a couch in my garage, back in the day this was meant to be used as base for my computer but I got a Core 2 Duo along with ASUS P5KPL mobo so it was scrapped.

 

It's an ASUS A8S-X motherboard with AMD Athlon 64 ADA3200DAA4BW CPU and 2x1GB, 2x512MB DDR2 RAM (originally, it had 4GB RAM but I placed two 1GB modules in my PC). It's missing the CPU heatsink which is dirt cheap (8$). SATA 1 is a bit damaged though, the plastic is missing but the contacts are intact which means I can fix it.

 

So now I've been thinking, if I manage to sell 4 Pentiums for 75$ each, and the one I just found for another 100$, I'll have 400$. Then I can sell my PC for 200-250$ and have 600$ or more (depending on how much I get by selling the rest of the crap I found), which allows me to buy a new PC. I love math. :happy:

Pssst... That's how hoarders start.
