Saying that, there are defnintely people out there who will see your system for $500 and think "Coo! What a cheap computer!" Put it in the local paper at your desired proce of $500 - I bet you get more than a few calls.
Thanks for the comments, that's kinda what I needed to hear to encourage me to try selling the thing for $500

I know that I see it a lot in my local paper. Like you say, most of them make you wanna laugh your ass off. Heck, just a couple of weeks ago, there was someone selling a 200 Mhz computer with 64 megs of ram and a 10-gig hard drive, looking to get $375 for it, so I guess that my system sitting there for $500 would look like one hell of a deal compared to that, he he he.
