Well, you could shop around for the parts and add them up, but I don't 
think it's going to amount to all that much.  Which is a shame, because 
it is a rather capable machine, even if it is a few years old.

It may not be worth selling, but you could give it to a local school to 
teach RAID & multithreading deadlock issues, and take a nice tax 
write-off for yourself.

Or give it to someone in the LUG whose fastest machine is slower than 
that one because they've been unemployed.

Or give it to the LUG for installfest use?  (Can we use such a thing?)
