If I sell my computer, can I keep the hard drive?

I need to sell my computer for some quick cash, and if I do, could I keep my hard drive? Also, what company could I sell it too?

Unless you've gotten this computer within the last year or so, you're not going to get over $600 for it. If you want to take the HDD out, you're going to get even less. I, as others have already, suggest that you acquire an external HDD and transfer what you need on to that. Once you've done that you can then reformat the HDD and sell the computer as a whole. Companies like Micro Center [i]might[/i] buy it off you, but I'm not 100% sure of that. [/quote] I got it in June. It has an Ivy Bridge i5, so it should be worth something. [/quote]So the computer is basically brand-new? If you've only used it for two months, then I'm guessing you could sell it to someone on [b]Ebay[/b] or [b]Craigslist[/b] for a nice price. Selling it to a store will be easier, but you'll get less for it - at least that's what I've experienced. Can you post the rest of the specs? [/quote] 8 GB of RAM 1 TB HDD Windows 7 Home Premium Radeon HD 7550 [/quote]You could probably get somewhere around $400 if you kept the HDD in there. Not if you sold it to a store, but if you put it up on Ebay. I understand you're in a rush, but people will take advantage of that, at least on Craigslist, and attempt to buy it for cheap.
