Hopefully I could get an opinion from TxRedneck on this one.
Buddy of mine who is just hell bent on downloading as much CRAP as possible on youtube and elsewhere had me build him a fairly nice tower a few months back but is once again infected with viruses and malware and I am sick of working on his shit once every 2 months. The tower is a nice looking ATX cooler Master. It has an Asus M2N SLI MB. Processor is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core at 3.0ghz. It has an EVGA nVidia Geforce 210 1gb DVI/HDMI video card, 4gb of ram, 200gb SATA HDD, Samsung sata DL DVD/rw, Coolmax 600 watt power supply, and a Dlink A,B,G,N pci wireless card. Its running Win Vista Home Premium 32 bit. It runs fantastic when its not infected with viruses and malware. I have him talked into selling his desktop and buying a brand new Mac Mini (under warranty so I won't have to fuck with it). He wants me to sell his tower,KB, and monitor...but I know I won't get shit for it used which has me thinking about another option.
My mother is using a 4 yr old Dell E1705 Inspiron (17" widescreen laptop) as a desktop (separate KB, mouse, and 22" LCD panel) with Windows XP...its got a core 2 Duo at 1.8ghz, 80gb HDD and 2gb ram, dvd burner, and the high end graphics chip. It was her husbands before he passed away.
I'm thinking I could prolly sell her E1705 for more than this desktop I built and instead give her this desktop that would run MUCH faster than her Dell laptop (she checks email and does very basic stuff on her computer and has never gotten a virus that I could find).
So what Im asking is...which would be better: keep the desktop for my mother and sell off the 4 yr old crap laptop...or does anyone here think I could sell the desktop mentioned above for anything more than that laptop?
Discuss pls.
