Some of you I know have older systems lying around... if you have a little time and not using them, why not make some money?

Pictured are the spare parts I ended up with even after ridding those machines - A SoundBlaster AWE64 ISA sound card as well as an SB16, a 4mb AGP STB Velocity (rebranded NVIDIA RIVA 128), some 56K PCI modem, and a 3COM 3C905B-TX network card.

Each one I made more than $100 in profit (even after shipping).

People go ape if you list “Windows 95/98 Retro Gaming PC” and especially lust after those machines with ISA slots. Don’t believe me? Check this out.

This seller in particular is killin’ it !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Seeing those computers with those prices, all I can think of is: WHY?

Sure, on some really vintage machine. But that seller Nibby refered to also offered this, a Pentium 4 with 2.4 GHz. For $399. That things is just old, not vintage. There must still be tons of those around, available for a tenth of that price.
