According to ebay, you are looking at most between $100 and $200.  You can get a brand new Dell (Celery) for less than $300, with monitor.

I'll try craigslist. Once you filter out the scammers, suckers are easy to come by

Why not just sell the motherboard/CPU/memory combo (on here) and replace it with a faster one.   That way you dont have to purchase another hard drive, case, keyboard/mouse, etc.  That would be the cheapest option to get more speed.

Newegg.com has pretty good prices.

I stick to ZipZoomFly. Mainly because of the free shipping, but also because Newegg charges tax in NJ

Dont you think you'd be better off replacing the mobo/cpu?  Especially when your getting estimates of only $150 or so as the total worth of the computer.  You could probably get $75 or so for the motherboard, cpu, memory towards the new combo.

I think that's what I'll do for now. Probably go with the Intel 805. Nice cheap Dual Core Processor, and an overclocking demon.

If you end up getting rid of your old CPU/mobo, let me know if you want to trade them or sell them for anything.
