i got my hand on a crappy old pc i'm trying to flog. how much do you think i could get for it?

the person i'm thinking might want it has never had a pc and just wants something for the net and to use for his creative zen.

specs:
700MHz celeron
256MB sdram
8GB hdd
dvd-rom
15" CRT monitor with built in speakers
floppy drive
win2k pro (win xp pro if you think it'd handle it)
various other software
dial-up modem but no network card. i could get one for €8 if you think that'd add to the value

i'm thinking i might just be able to push 70 because i bought a keyboard and mouse for it and upgraded the ram from 64MB


and because he doesn't know much about computers

About 180-200. 1.8Ghz is decent for basic games and office work and were it upgradable it might make more, but that RD ram cannot be upgraded without spending a small fortune unfortunately....:(
