$500

so if i was to sell this computer i could get that much out of it?

Depending where you are.

Unfortunately, there is virtually no market for used PCs anymore, with Dell selling them for under 400 or even 300 bucks.

Best bet is to sell it to a friend for a few hundred. I just keep the things now, and use them as apps/programming PCs, test PCs, then Linux (pretty much in that order too, it ends up being a big cycle, start out as a gaming PC then shuttle them down the line).
