This looks like some HP branded Pentium IV computer. I wouldn't want one.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Xbox 360 for that? I'd get a better deal at gamestop!

Do you have specifications? Some of those can be pretty robust on the inside (I know there's a dual-socket Xeon/RDRAM system that uses a case like that, for example), but that case style is so common it's hard to say. You'd need a model #, more pictures, or something to get a better idea of what you're being offered. As far as is it worth an Xbox360 - that's a somewhat personally qualified thing (e.g. which has more utility to you), but what's an Xbox360 sell for used in general these days? If you can get $100-$200 for it, I'd probably sell it and spend the money on a computer, versus a straight-across trade, unless the computer you find is exceptional in some way (e.g. it really would be straight-across and not require any upgrades).

It's going to be junk, it's just a run of the mill low end Pentium 4 Compaq. I wouldn't trade a 360 for it, I'd be hard pressed to want to give the person more than 5 - 10$ for it.

Looks like an HP D530 or similar. If that's the case, then I wouldn't try to get it. Even though they are decent systems, they are slightly proprietary in the fact that the PSU and maybe even the motherboard aren't exactly standard. You'd probably be better off just selling your 360 and building a P4 system as opposed to getting something like that. Or, better yet, an Athlon XP system...

If it is a fully working HP D530 tower then it is worth $30 - $60 depending on model.

This is the specs if I remember correctly.
HDDs range from 40GB to 160GB, memory from 512MB to 2GB, CPUs from slow Celerons to 3.0 GHz P4, video cards from only integrated video (the boards should always have an AGP 8X slot) to nice Quadro cards.

I'm 90% sure this machine is not worth it.

No, no any value for me. I really dont like those OEM brand computers. And iam only loves the really old stuff!

Keep the 360. That machine just looks like an old junker Pentium IV. Too old to run modern apps, too new to play most games that have compatibility issues on newer hardware.

That's what it is. I found one of those with a 2.5ghz P4 Celeron in it years ago that wouldn't power up when I got it home but did later after a good cleaning. I haven't touched it since because as was stated, it falls into that grey area where neither current nor old games run well on it, if at all.

Yep, too new to be interesting and too old to be useful.

Yeah, I agree. Its probably good for some parts, but its not worth an xbox.
