If nothing worked on that Conion, the most he could have gotten for it would be $300 maybe, and to some people that's worth spending to have a cool-looking computer. It's only money. Hell, I've always been saying that someone should take an empty Conion shell and plaster it with stickers and grafitti and then nail it to the wall of their garage for decoration. Sure you could have gotten $200-300 for it, but now it's a work of art. Some people spend tens of thousands of dollars on boring-ass paintings & vases.
