Yes I believe I do. His laptop is duck taped together.
However it'll probably be a month before he's ready to buy a new(cheap) computer. I can ask him however. In fact I'll shoot him a message now.

Zoo, do you consider installing 10.9 piracy? (Granted it's not for sale yet) Do you have strong convictions against such acts?

Edit: Have you guys considered shipping costs? I figure they'd be kinda large.

We're putting it on eBay, anyone can buy it. But if you want to tell anyone about it.

Correction to Zoo above: Tell EVERYONE about it.  The more people bid, the more money we make.  Also, more people have a chance at a cheap powerful computer.

It'll probably be a month before we're ready to set this thing in motion.

I do consider OS 10.9 to be piracy, but mainly the problem is that my hard drive is literally 100% full.

Also, shipping will, as is the standard for eBay, be paid for entirely by the buyer. It shouldn't be too bad, honestly. The case is light and the components don't weigh too much. 20 pounds at most. Of weight, not currency.

That's certainly a problem. You'll have to frees 15 gigs to install all the needed stuff.
Could you clean off old/unnecessary games, clear downloads folder, delete useless caches?

I'm mostly worried about size restriction on shipping costs.

Are there size restrictions? I've seen computers bigger than this one on eBay before. I doubt it'll be a big deal.

Actually, it is a big deal... like, a $40 deal...

That is, if I take it to a UPS store to have them pack and ship it professionally...

Or I ship it in the box my recent PC came in... but if it broke then I'd have to refund it and stuff.

I may have to sell it locally... but that would be harder...
