    486 Class computers and older

    Just got a load of new equipment in last week, and after going through I find 20-30 computers with 486/early pentium processors. I decided to look up what resale on the machines would be and found that a lot of people seem to be buying these machines for sentimental value.

    I can't decide if I will be selling them whole or if I will part them out yet, from forums/ebay searches, you can make $100+ just on a motherboard if you can test it to make sure it works. Other circuit boards from this generation are going from $20-60 EACH if they are rare and verified working.

    I know what I'll be doing this winter, setting up a 486 lab to test everything out with!
