A good friend of mine has a PC graveyard, and he's given most of it over to me. Now, I haven't tested all equipment to verify if they all work as they should, but for fun - let's assume they do.

Here's what he's given me:
- A socket 775 Intel 945GL MicroATX board that can apparently take Core 2 Duo's
- Celeron D 365 with said motherboard
- A Socket 939 Motherboard with an AMD Sempron 3200+
- About 2 gigs of RAM for the Socket 939 board
- ATX Case with a few fans
- Four IDE hard drives. I think one or two of these will go into my original Xbox's
- GeForce 7300GS PCI-E (not sure I'm going to keep this one)
- Radeon X800XT PE AGP 256MB (hopefully this one works - if it does, I'm throwing it in one of my AGP systems)

And that's all I can conjure up at the moment. I have some PC cases that these motherboards can go into. Would it be worth it to snag a used Core 2 Duo for my motherboard? Problem is that I don't have RAM, and would need to purchase some. I was thinking about dropping around $120 (and no more) and making it a decent little LAN box. Same thing with the 939 motherboard. Am I delusional? Or should I just build a decent little cheapey and flip it for more cash?
 
Yes.

EDIT: All right I'll explain: If you already had the RAM or the C2D CPU already, it might have been worth it if you could get the C2D CPU or RAM for really cheap. But since you don't , it's not worth spending the money. Not to mention that you haven't actually check if the PC parts work.

Thanks man. I do appreciate it. :) I'll keep my eyes peeled - perhaps I can snag a CPU and some RAM. :)
EDIT: For free I mean.
