    I have an old windows 98 (pakard Bell computer) that is garbage. I need to know if there is anything worth keeping or selling in it.

    yah and go ahead and sell it, except i'd keep the floppy drive and hdd just incase you want to use the hdd on a modded xbox or something like that. And as far as floppy drives go it's like an old person keeping their vhs player. If you decide to keep your windows 98 computer you'll be able to create a startup disk easily

    I would keep the whole computer and scrap it then save all the parts that would be the best thing to do.
