    Cheers for the estimate voojeq, think if thats all its worth I'll keep it. Sure the sound card alone was 220 when it was built, but it is a few years old at this stage. Do you know if it would be possible to put a new board in that case that could support a better processor and more ram?


  • Registered Users Posts: 282 ✭✭voojeq


    yeah devaluation is quite problematic with desktops but most people buy these to enjoy the upgrades if you dont upgrade then machine becomes worthless within 5 years

    i really dont know what PSU you have, I suggest 500w minimum and good brand, voltage is important and ensures that all components have enough power

    as for the case i see this is a midi tower then any atx board will fit which is good

    you could go with amd mainboard and bulldozer cpu, they're relatively cheap and comparable to i7 if your budget is tight, if not then go for i5 or i7

    btw your graphics card also could be upgraded the 7900 you have works with directx 9 only, you can find used ones which work with dx 10 on adverts (9800 GT for example) for 50 clams

    Cheers for that, I'll defo look into getting the new board, im not too pushed about the graphics card for now though cause I have a gaming laptop, i mainly want to upgrade cause I use the pc for photoshop, which works grand but as soon as i open the interweb or itunes or something while PS is running it slows down to buggery

    I have an Asus Eee pc 4g netbook purchased in September 2008 from PC World for around €300. It's in perfect condition and has a pink lid/cover. I have bought a new Asus laptop and now want to sell my netbook to try recoup some of the costs of the new laptop. Any ideas as to how much my netbook is worth if I put it up for sale? Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 282 ✭✭voojeq


    there were more than two versions of this netbook you'd have to have a look at the box and see whether its a asus EEE 700 or 900 where 900 is more expensive

    i'd ask 100 euro for EEE 700 if all is there ( box etc) and up to 200 if its a 900 version


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,476 ✭✭✭ Tucker Chubby Flatware


    Thanks so much for your reply. I don't have the box, threw that out when I bought it-wups! Didn't realise I should have kept it! Is there any other way for me to tell what model it is? Is it now worth less as I don't have the box anymore!? I do have a case for it though!

    There should be a sticker on the base of the laptop which should tell you if its the 700 or 900, alternatively if you right click on "my computer" and go to properties it might say it in there

    If you're planning to sell the item in future then you should keep the box and receipt, if netbook breaks down then the buyer can always send it off for warranty and you would need the original box to do that.

    Since you've bought it back in 2008 then I suppose its already out of warranty so no worries. Lack of box will affect the price but only a little now.

    I've never owned an Asus EEE so its hard to tell where can you find the specs on it. Like mentioned have a look into my computer and its properties. If you still cannot find it let us know what it says there and I'll try to help as 700 versions had Celeron CPU.

    Right click my computer -> Properties -> General Tab and Computer Name Tab are the ones of your interest

    EDIT:

    nvm that i've found a list with Asus EEE pc's and looks like your is one of the first ones that came out

    http://event.asus.com/eeepc/comparison/eeepc_comparison.htm

    its right at the bootom of this list

    giving that you can put it up on adverts for 150 euro and dont go below 100 =]


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,476 ✭✭✭ Tucker Chubby Flatware


    Thanks for all that information! I put it up on boards.ie for 150Euro as advised. I won't part with it for less than 100. Ideally 125 though! Thanks for all your help! :)

    Hi folks

    Do you think 30e is an ok price for this? I thought it would be snapped up by now.

    It's next to worthless/useless given it's age and spec. I hope you don't have any major plans for it.

    Agreed, not sure what you would do with it. Would probably struggle to load most modern web pages.
