Hey all. I'm looking for some advice to sell some old computers and a laptop I have.
The first computer was a Compaq Presario with a Nvidia Card. All I have from the machine is the tower and none of the discs.
The second computer is my old gaming rig. The case has some issue where the front audio analog doesn't seem to work and neither do the USBs on the front. The motherboard also has slight damage where one of the plastic clasps to secure a PCI card snapped off:
For the laptop it's an a HP EliteBook 8560w. I'm not aware of any damages to the laptop itself but the charging cable has seen better days:
Similar to the Compaq I don't have any of the discs that came with it as this laptop was provided to me by the tech school I studied at.
Anyway with that said, here's a few questions I have:
1. For obvious reasons I am going to run DBAN on these machines to wipe the hard drives. Should I reinstall Windows 7 though my OEM disc before selling them?
2. If yes to #1 are there any free programs that are useful for finding the devices and driver information?
3. Are there any good sources for finding a good price range to sell these at? Just to be sure I'm not getting ripped off if I try to sell at a store here in town.
