I have an Compaq Presario 5900T and would like to sell it for whatever price I can get. It has a Pentium III processer, 533 MHz, and 192 MB of RAM. 17" CRT monitor. Can I get anything for this?

Maybe $100 (if anything)... I'd recommend you donate it to a school/church. They may get much more use out of it and it would be much more valuable to them than anything you could make.
Blessings...

Did you run a search on eBay with the specs?

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

I know of a homeschool family who could use a old donated computer, they could pay shipping costs.

Is it okay if it only has a regular modem (no ethernet port) and no software?

Does it have an OS?

I think I can get Windows XP on it.

How would I ship it? Just get some boxes and newspaper?

Honestly, I have no idea, I can not imagine how much it would cost to ship. On top of that, I used to work for UPS, the chances of shipping all that without damage in aftermarket packaging is slim. As much as I would love to have it, it does not seem feasible.

My suggestion is to put the word out locally, and find a taker nearby so as to avoid damage and extra costs. Maybe one of the nearby seminaries, seminarians are usually pretty poor and are forced to used the libraries for all their computer needs. They may jump right on it.
