I'd run a virus scan on it and do some sort of performance check. Seems to be the only reason people throw out computers anymore now days.

Yeah, I don't want to drop the 70 on it even though I want one

Looking at it as an investment is the only way I'd buy it.

It was already shitty when it came out. Worth the $70? In order to resell it for $100? What, and invest about 10hours in reinstalling Windooz and running all the updates, or 5 hours cleaning the current Win out and still have shitty performance? So you'll be working for $3-6/hour, with the risk that you can't get a $100 after all and the buyer complaining that it's a piece of crap and the hdd crashed. Nah, there's better trades than that, man.

:thumbup:

I would have put a fresh os on though..

As an investment I should be making more and right now I can't take a chance of loosing my ass on it if it's broken or the hd is malfunctioned. This was just an excuse to consume.

I got an HP for free because the previous owner never even bothered to simply format the HDD and do a fresh install.  So I gladly took it from them, took a bit of it apart and cleaned out all the dust, reapplied TIM to the heatsink/cpu, upgraded RAM that was dirt cheap, and installed Win XP Pro since I had it laying around and the laptop ran great! 

Prior to doing that shit it took the thing minutes to boot and couldn't even scroll through powerpoints.  Eventually gave it to a buddy for $75 because of the usb wireless adapter/OS, but it was great for my wife prior to that.  So if you know the components are sound and moderately up to the standards for simple shit like surfing the web, maybe using office, and watching movies then go for it.

Yikes, I wouldn't even buy that.  You'd have more fun with a smartphone and probably the same processing power.  As was said previously, at least a dual-core that can support a sufficient amount of RAM.
