- This is a computer I built in 2004, I no longer have a use for it
- Looking for a new home with someone who appreciates such things
- It is a clean, running, configured machine with a fresh install of Win 98SE
- Over it's life, it has run both Win 98SE and XP (with more memory)
- Hoping for a nominal $40, but I'll give it away free if that's what it takes to keep it from being recycled

I live in Auburn

Oh Man, I had a Pentium 3 "Gaming" rig I recycled because "I can easily recreate virtual machines".

I am still kicking myself for getting rid of actual hardware that worked.

Your mileage may vary :)

I will be in King County on the 18th, could I meet up with you then to get it perhaps?
