    These are all components I'm thinking of getting rid of. I have a spare generic white case, a DVD Burner. usb keyboard and mouse and possibly a harddrive to make it a full system. No monitor of course.

    I'd love to know what this lot is worth. I'm thinking of selling it to finance a new gaming rig :)

    i'd say youd be looking at 600-800 for all that maybe

    Just pretty much curious:

    Pentium 4 3Ghz HT
    512MB DDR Ram
    280GB HDD
    Radeon X800 128MB (Was the highest-end when I bought it,don't remember the exact model no.)
    DVD-Burner etc.
    Firewire
    All the ports you could need for any memory card.
    Lan
    TV Tuner
    Scart Out
    Wireless
    18" LCD Phillips

    Estimate to sell computer...
    I'm leaving Ireland shortly, and I want to sell my very decent machine. Specific details are below, but basically

    2 gigahertz AMD 64 bit 3000+
    1500 MB Ram (ddr 400 mhz)
    Geforce 6800 Ultra 256 MB
    1 60 gig HD
    1 180 gig HD
    1 (maybe) 79 gig raptor HD
    500 Watt PSU

    Now, I am willing to one, leave my 200 gig hard drive intact, meaning all of my music, videos, movies, tv shows, programs, (legal and illegal alike) will be kept, you don't know specificly what you're getting (THAT would be illegal) and I would install windows and almost any other software requested. It's a great gaming machine, I run CSS on 1200x1600 and get 60-70 fps (medium settings)

    Would I be able to get more than 1000?
    more?

    thanks.

    I'll be selling my computer in around 2 months and I was wondering what sort of price I'd be looking to get on boards or maybe buy and sell.

    P4 2.8 - 800 Mhz 512 kb
    Sapphire 9800 Pro Ultimate edition - With Zalman Heat Pipe passive cooling
    Audigy 2 Sound Card
    512mb OCZ Dual Kit pc3700

    Thermaltake Keyboard & Mouse

    LG FLATRON F900P

    It cost a fortune when I bought it all. I'm scared to find out what it would go for now.

    State a reason, not a drunken excuse. ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,431 ✭✭✭optiplexgx270


    Hehe when did i post this... humm anyways without a monitor you would be doing Very good to get 1K raptor would make quite a difference though, i recon 700-800 for whats there


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,630 ✭✭✭gline


    no chance but im a lil drunk but i recon NO chance of over a 1000

    this is correct, with current prices there is no way you'd get 1000 for this


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 185 ✭✭Orionetheus


    Why? It has 1500 mb of RAM, runs the newest games very well at high resolution, would come loaded full of my music movies and games, 2 gigahertz, geforce 6800 ultra. I poured like 2000 into this thing.....(dollars that is)

    because it's a computer. it's second hand and it's old.

    As soon as you buy it, it loses a heap of value.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 185 ✭✭Orionetheus


    Ok, so a good starting price on ebay would be...?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 262 ✭✭roger 2006 yeah

    Hello :)

    I have a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop which is about 2 years old and has an overheating problem which I haven't the knowledge or really the inclination to try and solve. Buying a new laptop, was just gonna stuff this one away in a cupboard somewhere, wondering if it's worth trying to sell for parts or anything?

    Any advice is most welcome, muchos gracias!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,431 ✭✭✭optiplexgx270


    i took apart a dell 5160 last night on the hunt for a heating problem and found tuns of dust/fluff clogging an opening between the fan and cpu also the output air vent was clogged cuasing the fan to spin @ max const. Oh and on a side the CPU was fused to the heatsink the gel was all crusty had to pry it off with a knife :eek:

    BTW: once all the fluff was removed it now operates as new :D fan only comes on when cpu is busy.

    Hi Gline,
    I don't know much about it to be honest, only that it has 512mb of RAM, a 20gb HD, intel pentium 4 2.66ghz, em... :o


    optiplexgx270: thanks for the tip :) a friend of mine took it apart before though to clean the fan and we got rid of the dust and it just went back to normal overheating mode soon afterwards. it seems to be a general problem with inspiron 5100s from what ive read online.

    Thats a wierd setup...why would you waste a 7800 on a 2600+?

    I'd say its worth about 600, or half that without the gfx card...
