Hey everyone,
Recently, my beloved beige G3/G4 Frankenmac bit the dust. Here are the specs:
NewerTech ZIF G4 433 MHz
416 MB RAM
Sonnet Tech Tempo Trio (FW, USB, ATA)
ATA 25 GB HD
ATI Radeon 32 MB
CD Burner (replaced the internal CD-ROM)
It's been a faithful friend, but it's time to move on. I'm getting married in August and need to get rid of some extra stuff.
I wanted some advice on what to do with it. It seems to me I have two options:
- Replace the motherboard (around $20 all told) and try to sell the whole thing on eBay.
- Scrap it and sell off the parts like the Tempo Trio, the ZIF, and the Radeon on eBay.
How can I find a balance between profit and time?
A similar question: I have an old Umax C600 that runs just fine, but I don't need it around anymore. I think it'd make a great little Linux server, but would anyone really buy it off of me? I may end up just giving it to a friend.
Thoughts?
