    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

    Ive a pentium4 2.8ghz
    2GB ram
    120GB Hard Drive
    256mb Pci express card (not sure on model tho)

    Excluding Monitor and other I/O devices how much you think this worth?


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,611 ✭✭✭✭Sam Vimes


    i got my hand on a crappy old pc i'm trying to flog. how much do you think i could get for it?

    the person i'm thinking might want it has never had a pc and just wants something for the net and to use for his creative zen.

    specs:
    700MHz celeron
    256MB sdram
    8GB hdd
    dvd-rom
    15" CRT monitor with built in speakers
    floppy drive
    win2k pro (win xp pro if you think it'd handle it)
    various other software
    dial-up modem but no network card. i could get one for €8 if you think that'd add to the value

    i'm thinking i might just be able to push 70 because i bought a keyboard and mouse for it and upgraded the ram from 64MB


    and because he doesn't know much about computers :)

    It'd handle WinXP fine....and 70 sounds about right, but if he knows nothing about computers, 100 sounds right too :D

    If it has USB1.1 and not 2.0 transferring to the Zen would be a pain. I've similar but better machine in the Adverts and and you can see the offers there. 30-80, but then its not sold yet. As you have done people can pick low spec machines for free, so selling it will be hard. Best bet B&S.
