    P4s. Scrap or sell. Need advice.

    I recently came into over 50 Net Vista P4s with View Sonic flat screens, mice and keyboards. Ive checked my area and cant find any reference for sales and ebay only has a couple. They all come with a portable 40g HD and one ram chip. Im in WI and the market seems dead. Should I scrap or sell whole since they work. I dont have software for installing operating systems either. Although they did come with roughly 120 discs of Word 2000, 2002, and 2003 plus Norton antivirus. Some linux networking software too. Im not familiar with the retail side of this. What would u guys do?

    Id try reselling as many as possible. Perhaps hit the local PC shops offering several units? Shops are always looking for inexpensive units to resell. Try selling them for $25 each, more than scrap but cheap enough to sell fast.

    Thanks that's a great idea. Guess I should tear one complete set down to see what it's value is. Hard to judge the intrinsic value of the gold though cause I'm a greedy bugger when it comes to the yellow stuff. It will at least give me an idea tho.

    see if you can get someone to install software for exchange of a few free units. then put up for sale for 40 - 50 dollars a tower.
