I believe in make the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, Because I don't think children should be having sex.

Well at the very least grab the hard drive and ram out of it. You can sell the rest on like craigs list or ebay. You would be surprised how many are looking to buy used screens. If you sell it though you might want to write down the product key on the bottom and remove the lable. That key is still good and can be used on another computer. Its its only a year and a half I'm guessing its Vista. That key alone is worth money.
