	Those are still nice machines. Problem is that a higher performance machine can be had today for a relatively small sum of money. I would check eBay to see if there are any comparable systems for sale to get an idea. My guess is that machine could fetch only $300 to $400 U.S. Problems... P4 runs hot and uses a ton of power. It has a decent power supply though for that configuration. Starved for memory at 1Gb. Most of the newer, cheaper models ship with at least 4Gb. Low resolution RGB monitor - no wide screen. The best feature is the brand. That era of Alienware is known for being a rock solid machine and is what made their claim to fame. Not sure how donations work over there, but I would donate it to a charity or church over here and take the inflated tax write off.
