The value depends on the model. Most were only 720p; if you've got one that does 1080p, I assume it would be worth considerably more.

As for the computer, the Xbox HD-DVD drive could be hooked to a computer to play (and rip) HD-DVD movies. There were various internal drives, even a couple of Blu-ray/HD-DVD combo drives. I'm not sure if all HD-DVD players used SATA drives internally; if so, you could probably salvage the drive and use it as a CD/DVD/HD-DVD reader. HD-DVD movies can be easily ripped to mkv to play on media players, and even converted to Blu-ray.

You could try selling it locally: ~somebody~ was scooping up those $5 HD-DVD movies from the Wal-mart clearance bins, and they might want a spare player.
