AboutBobbert Expertise General purchasing questions, in areas regarding price to performance ratios and future expansion, drawing from roughly a decade of experience and numerous unique situations for customers and myself, I'm willing to help you get the best computer for your money.
Experience I have been an enthuiast of PC's for many years, and can answer most questions about purchase of a new computer from personal knowledge or experience through other online Q&A services in advising on the same topic.
Question How much should I pay for a hp Pavilion Ze4365us with xp home edition? It has a fried battery, a cracked case where it was dropped, and broken DVD drive. It has a 30gb hard drive and I think it has a 1.8 ghz processor, and if I did buy it would it be better to put windows 2000 pro on it?
Answer I wouldn't buy such a system, at least not unless I was able to pay wholesale pricing. Based on your described condition, the system is more or less worthless as-is (generally unimpressive specs to start with (by modern standards), and extensive physical damage), as scrap/recycle to take parts from, it may have some value, if the screen still works.
