About 200 euro.

I'd say 500 euro for your machine would be a fairly respectable price sarah...shame to see you sell it after installing all that watercooling gear recently

About 180-200. 1.8Ghz is decent for basic games and office work and were it upgradable it might make more, but that RD ram cannot be upgraded without spending a small fortune unfortunately....:(

that's exactly the figure i estimated

yeah, RDRAM was a horrible mistake. it'd cost more than the 200 its worth to put more ram in. thanks HavoK

Might be selling this if its worth it.

Antec Sonata case (few mods to improve air flow trough the case)
430Watt Antec True power PSU (this isnt the one that should come with the sonata case)
ASUS A7N8X-E DLX (got all the usuall things, Sata, 5.1 via DDL, firewire, gigabit lan)
AMD-Athlon Xp 2500+ Mobile (Barton core) CPU (this overclocks from ~1.8 to 2.5 perfectly stable, i only ran this for a short time without any instability before using defaulth settings again)
Thermalthake cooler with fan controler
2X512MB Corsair value ram
Aopen nVidia Gforce 4 Ti4200 (not been overclocked for those wondering)
200gig IDE Hd (i could put in a 2nd drive, 80gig SATA, if it makes much difference)
DVD Re-Writer not sure anymore what speed it is but i think its 16X for burning all Dvd media

I think thats all, if im missing anything ill edit this post.

Jozi

The Above and i have the following PSU that im might sell if the price is right

OCZ GameXStream power supply - 600 Watt Has about 3hrs use as i type, absolutely nothing wrong with it. I had a Powerstream before this that i RMA'd and i recieved this unit however i find it to loud, louder at least than the old psu and it is now the loudest part in my pc (i normally cant hear the pc when its on)

That FX5500 is the weak point. Its a crap and vastly outdated card. Upgrading that alone to a decent card and your computer will be able to play any games on high settings no problem.

silvine · 13-09-2006 11:29am

Cool thanks. I have a budget of about 800 for upgrading. Can you recommend a decent graphics card? What other upgrade options should I consider for this computer on my budget?

funkedelic_bob · 19-09-2006 3:51am

I know this is finding how much your own computer is worth. But, I'm thinking of buying this rig from a friend and was wondering what you think a reasonable amount would be. (American/Canadian currency... w/e)

2.2GHz AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+
1GB PC-3200 DDR RAM
120GB 7200rpm SATA hard drive

Big Chief · 22-09-2006 12:28am

my ex gaming machine, im selling it to my boss in work who seems very intrested as hes getting back into pc gaming and ive only recently upgraded, told him the parts he needed but what i have to offer him and ive offered to build it is:

Abit AN7 Motherboard
Athlon XP 3000+ (2.2ghz)
2gb PC3200 Ram
ATI Radeon x800 Pro 256meg (AGP)

what generally would that be worth now bundled together? i told him to get a case and hdd and ill gladly build it myself if needed, basically i just need to give him a price for it.

What is a reasonably price to ask for above parts bundled together?? i was thinking €300 roughly, but i just want to make sure before i go about ripping off my boss really.. 300 would be including building fee as i enjoy building in my spare time really. that seem fair?

You can repost in the thread entitled, "How much is my computer worth?" at the top of this forum. Also selling is not allowed here but you can use adverts.ie->For Sale Adverts->Computer Hardware FS. Good luck.

L31mr0d · 23-09-2006 11:32am

I'm actually thinking I might sell my computer in the next few months and go for a laptop. Easier to move with.

Here is my current spec:

AMD Opteron 165 with Zalman 9500 Cooler
2GB Dual Channel Mushkin eXtreme DDR500
Abit AN8 SLI Fatal1ty mobo
Nvidia 6800 Ultra with Zalman 900Cu
2x250GB WD Caviar RAID 0
OCZ 700w GameXstream PSU
DVD RW
Qtec case with a few mods done to it (i.e. leds, fans, window)
Saitek Gamers Keyboard
Logitech MX610 wireless mouse
19" BenQ LCD 8ms

one other question, when selling something is including overclockability a plus or a negative to the score? I mean if I can clock my Opteron past the 180 specs does that mean I can factor that into the price? What i'm saying is would you consider having a good stepping a means to increase the selling price of it.
