Athlon CPU + motherboard + RAM, looking for a home

I have an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ CPU (Socket 939)
attached to a MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard with
a pair of 1-GB DDR-1 DIMMS, looking for a new home.

As far as I can tell, the PCI-Express port doesn't work, but
everthing else does. I picked up some much nicer replacement parts
from the computer show in Nashua, yesterday, because the RS480M2-IL's
onboard graphics seemed to be a little too anaemic to run GNOME 3
satisfactorily (and the PCI boards that I could find did even
worse).

And, on that note: I have a PCI Radeon 9250 with DVI output
that I'd be happy to include in the bundle.

Pickup from either Nashua or Billerica.

Is this worth a few tens of dollars to someone, maybe?


As a point of reference: I bought this stuff in late 2005,
and it's been running fine ever since (except for the bit about
GNOME Shell). The system did actually run Compiz OK on Debian
6.0/Squeeze, though.

No idea how it'd do with Ubuntu or other systems.
