For an older model like that, my guess is that your best bet would be to find someone that recycles electronics and computer components. the problem with the value of older computers is that they are a hazard to dispose of and can be costly to an individual.

Some companies will pay a nominal fee to recylce it, as large scale recyclers can often salvage some parts of the unit itself. Most recycling companies buy products like this on a larger scale, typically by the palet, so I would try to find a smaller company that buys the individual units or can find a way to resell the parts.I would search for local computer recyclers within your community. You will find that while some will throw you a little bit of cash for your old computer, others will simply offer to recycle it for free.

At the very least, it would not hurt to list it on Ebay or Craigslist for a nominal amount and see if you get any takers. You can also try Gazelle.com, which often buys used electronics, although their payouts lull in comparison to actually selling it to an individual yourself.
