    15.6 inch screen.
    Intel Pentium dual core t4300 processor.
    4gb ddr2
    3 usb ports, hdmi slot, memory card reader.
    think the graphics is mobile 4 intel family or something like that, nothing amazing anyway:p.
    New battery bought at christmas.
    There is also a gash in the top corner of the screen bezel where it fell and broke the screen but i obviously have put a new one on it.:pac:

    anyone have any idea what it'd be worth thinking of selling to upgrade.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,528 ✭✭✭TomCo


    Just wondering how much an S-IPS 2007WFP is worth?
    It's mint, apart from a stuck sub-pixel in the top left corner which displays red on a 100% black background (normal otherwise) - I only noticed after nearly 2 years of use so its practically invisible.

    I was thinking about upgrading to a U2711

    specs of this machine are quite outdated, giving that i would ask for 200 euros because you seem to have everything that came with it originally

    Sold similar machine on adverts, only i had antec 600 case and gtx460 768, It went for 550 with the monitor and all peripherals.

    You might get 400 euro for the base unit only if you're lucky but from my experience I know that youll be better off with splitting these parts on seperate ads. People tend to barge on whole desktops because sellers want to get rid due to upgrades etc, when it comes to parts usually there's more than one person interested in it, which for you means nothing esle but profit.

    I am thinking of selling my PC which I built a couple of years ago due to having a 1 year old running around and lack of time for PC building / upgrading / gaming. I tend to just use the laptop now

    This is the system I built at the time, I'd greatly appreciate any ballpark estimate on what it might be worth (I have an idea but I could be off) as I will probably put it up for sale as a complete system as opposed to selling parts separately.

    Monitor:
    LG M198WA (also has built in analogue TV tuner & remote)

    Case:
    Akasa Mirage

    Motherboard:
    DFI Infinity P-965 S (LGA 775)

    PSU:
    Akasa 650W P650FF BK

    CPU:
    Core 2 Duo E6550

    RAM:
    4 GB total (2x1GB OCZ, 1x2GB Generic)

    HDD:
    750GB Seagate Barracuda ES (Sata)

    Graphics Card:
    nVidia GeForce 7900 GTX (512MB)

    Sound:
    Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer 7.1 Soundcard
    Onboard Audio

    DVD RW:
    LG GSA4040B

    OS:
    Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) Clean Install

    i would ask 250 for the base unit and around 80 for the screen, if you manage to find a genuine copy of windows somewhere cheap, I think you'll be selling it quicker and for more cash

    its a nice case btw =]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭IrishMetalhead


    Built this out of spare bits recently, good enough for playing games at medium settings and slightly older games on high:

    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz
    Motherboard: Asus P5N73-CM
    RAM: 2GB 533MHz
    Graphics: nVidia GeForce 7900GS 256MB
    Hard Drives: 2 160GB IDE
    Disc Drive: DVD+RW IDE
    Case: An old Compaq Presario case
    Power Supply: Seasonic 430Watt
    OS: Windows 7 64bit
    Plus a TV tuner card & a card reader


  • Registered Users Posts: 282 ✭✭voojeq


    around 180


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭g5hn710m4xpdwy


    Could anyone give an estimate on this system please? Was hoping to get €400-450 all in but think I am being a bit ambitious...

    Case: Antec P180v.B (P182?)
    CPU: Intel E2200
    Motherboard: MSI MS-7519
    RAM: 4GB (not sure of model, think it may have been 'Value Select' range?)
    Storage: 500GB
    Graphics: HD4870 1GB
    PSU: Cooler Master M520 80+ Modular
    TV Card: Hauppage (don't know model but was mid-range at time of build)
    DVD-RW
    OS: Windows 7 Home Prenium
    Monitor: 22" LCD 1680x1050

    Ideally sold as a whole but from reading this thread splitting seems to be the way to go? Would I expect little or no demand for any of the components if I was to split?

    250ish not including W7. If you have a decent case and power supply you could add another 100 or so to it, depending on the quality and brand.

    I'd say your spot on with 400 euro assuming the W7 licence isn't OEM. Probably wouldn't get much more than that though. You'd get more demand on seperate items rather than the entire PC I'm afraid. If you decide to split I recommend asking for a little more to cover for your own extra labour on taking the pc apart and delivering/posting seperately. :)

    Probably your best bet. Faster machines selling for 600 yoyos (new). You're lucky if you get 350-400 for it.

    400 Gb Hd + 150 Gb Hard - Not sure of the speeds atm

    The Ram is low relative to the rest of the machine, any ideas if a Ram upgrade would pay back in the selling price?

    w/o Monitor? Good machine, but given the age (5 yrs) and specs I'd say around €150... 200 with luck (8800 GT/GTS/GTX/Ultra? Win 7 Ultimate Retail or OEM)

    Certainly not, let the buyer deal with it.

    What would each of these be worth?
    What about mb, 8800 gts 320mb etc

    Hard to say, the 8800 GTS is comparable with a GT440 which you get for ~75 Euro (a lot cheaper if you order online from abroad, $60 in the States).

    In the end you might get more if you sell the basic machine for lets say 120, and sell parts like the 8800, 2nd hard drive, 2nd DVD burner seperately for a few quid.

    €180 maybe ... more if the OS is a legitimate Windows 7 Ultimate Retail. 64-bit OS with only 3 GB RAM doesn't make much sense anyway.

    The 2.8 GHz P4 used in this series doesn't feature Hyperthreading, 50-60 Euro tops for the machine. As for the monitor it depends on size and format, a 19" 4x3 flatpanel might get you 40 Euro, less it if it's smaller in size.

    Been wondering how much my GF's comp is worth now as she's thinking of a upgrading soon.

    Dell XPS 700
    Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz
    4GB of 533MHz RAM
    512MB Gigabyte GeForce 9800GTX
    320GB Western Digital HDD (7200RPM Sata2)
    750W PSU
    DVD Burner and a Floppy Drive (oddly enough)
    With Windows 7 64bit (Dell OEM)

    I recon she dosn't need a new comp all she need to do is slap an SSD in there and she'll be fine what do you guys think?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,835 ✭✭✭Torqay


    I recon she dosn't need a new comp all she need to do is slap an SSD in there and she'll be fine what do you guys think?

    I'd rather upgrade the RAM to 800 MHz (PC2-6400), ~60 Euro new, a lot cheaper if you get them 2nd hand (has to be 4 x 1 GB). If she's not looking forward to playing the latest and greatest games, the computer is certainly good for a few more years.

    64-Bit OS doesn't make much sense on that machine either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭IrishMetalhead


    need a 64bit OS to detect 4GB of RAM which she needs for light gaming and photoshop plus the max ram speed the motherboard supports is 533MHz, the machine is still very much quick for gaming it's even playing skyrim on mid/high setting @ 1680x1050 but I think a SSD would help her big time for her photoshop work and for loading all those pesky Sims 3 mods and expansions

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭IrishMetalhead


    because 32-bit os's can only detect 3.5GB of ram or 3.75GB depending on what version it is anyways any idea of value? for poops and giggles


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,835 ✭✭✭Torqay


    the motherboard supports is 533MHz

    No, the XPS 700 supports PC2 6400.

    shop4memory.com is selling 2 GB dual channel kits for 31 Euro.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,835 ✭✭✭Torqay

    Don't blame it on the OS but on the hardware architecture... and I suggest we discuss this elsewhere.

    Btw... 32-bit OS and it's all there. ;)

    A close relative to the machine in question.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭IrishMetalhead


    my mistake it supports up to 667MHz not 533MHz but it won't run ram at 800MHz i tired it before and it was capped at 667 i heard you can get it to support it by updating the bios but i rather not risk it andways still have heard anything for it's worth yet =P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,835 ✭✭✭Torqay


    updating the bios but i rather not risk it

    Ah now... nothing risky or complicated with updating a Dell BIOS. You'll even get the update as an exectuable to run within Windows, very straight forward.
