I will probably give it to someone as mine is very old one and I am not going to get much for it and considering the fact that it can be used by others so I will just give it to one of my family members .

When I do update my computer I will probably give my old one to my son so he can learn how to use and become computer literate for when he starts school. He has already participated in one discussion on here (he is only three) when he woke up one night and asked me if he could type a message bless. He got two responses so he didn't do too bad!

I think he did great ! Letting your children use computers at an early age is always good . It has its advantages and disadvantages but if you can guide them well then this is always a better option .

I will sell it. If I can't sell it then I will give it away to who ever wants it.

why sell your old computer when for a couple hundred dollars you can refurbish it to be like new with more modern hardware, i refurbish old computers all the time for people, its my job, some people cant afford to buy a new computer for 1600 but can afford 1 of my refurbished comps that cost around 500, i just finished refurbishing my cousins hp and it only cost me 350 for mb and processor upgrade to core 2 duo,then i included a sata 500gig hardrive and 2 gig of ram, that gave him the equivelent of a 1600 dollar computer for around 500 dollars

I will give my PC to a family member, if they want it. However, I will completely overwrite the hard disk first as I have used it for on-line banking etc. It is very old, so if the family do not want it, I shall offer it to a local charity. I hate the idea that it could just be thrown away.

I will let my young sister use it - you know, kids are kinda... Destructive ;) So it would be much safer if she learn on old desktop, one that you can afford to get damaged or something.

i wont sell it. There are many things u can make best out the waste... 1. The older computer can be used only for chatting on IM's with friendz. As chatting is normally fast and the hardware configuration of ur old computer iss not that important while chatting.Less resourses are used while chatting. 2. U can even use it for making telephone/internet calls, recieving fax,c/c++ programming. 3. If u sell ur old computer now , it wont earn much for u, as the quality should have gone down. And a better computer migt be available in the market for the same price u r offerring ur comp for sale.... 4.if something hapens to ur new pc, then u have got a back Uppp. Hence i wont sell my old comp to anybody.

I will of course try to sell my computer before I give it away. I mean if the computer is really old then I can understand but now a days, if you want to sell your old windows vista or xp computer you will get a offer for it im sure...
