Quick valuation needed for a dodgy Lappy:

HPdv4045ea
Intel Pentium M (Centrino) 1.6GhZ
512MB RAM
80GB HDD 5400rpm
DVD-RW
15.4" Screen (glassy type/truelife)

Around the 200 mark at most.
Guy was selling a bunch of similar laptops for that price with no HDD.
Considering yours gives a BSOD, that negates the hardrive inclusion.

Few fans and exhaust installed also for what it's worth

Anyone, please and thank you

Hey Justin,
~250 would be the most you would see for this.

Reasons:
Not dual core.
Old Graphics.
Tiny Hard Drive.

Good:
Excellent Motherboard
Good DVD writer
Sufficient amount of ram.

I would pay about 400 for this without the screen.

Price will drop to 300 (within the next 3 months):
Next generation Nvidia graphics cards released.
New Intel processors come out.
Its a solid rig, let down only by the graphics.

I'm going to be moving into my own place soon and I don't know if I have room for my pc, am thinking about putting a shuttle together. I might re-use some components so I might split this machine on adverts too:

case: antec p180 black
monitor: dell 2007 20" tft with one deal / stuck pixel (not in your face though)
desk: generic and free!

cpu: intel core 2 duo extreme x6800
cooler: zalman 9500
ram: 4GB OCZ-platinum El-XTC 4-5-4-15
os: vista hp 64-bit (licenced)
hd1: 74GB raptor 15k rpm
hd2: 750GB desktar 7.2k rpm, 32MB cache
tv: ati tv card
mobo: gigabyte ga-965p-dq6
graphics: club3d 8800GTs 320MB
keyboard / mouse: bluetooth lazer mx5000
optical: sata samsung burner
psu: tagan modular, 430 or 480 watt

Just wondering if anyone knew the going rate for such a pc lately. The only downside to the splitting is that the windows licence would probably be invalid.

jArgHA · 11-01-2008 5:47pm

i've been slowly putting together a mid-level system over the past while getting bits from various different sellers and was wondering what the valuation is:

Board: DFI Dark p965 (Infinity)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6550
Memory: 2GB OCZ Platinum DDR2 PC6400 Rev 2
Video: Dell OEM 7900GTX
Fan: Zalman CNPS7700-Cu CPU-Cooler
Audio: Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Soundcard
PSU: 600w OCZ GameXStream PSU
Case: Akasa Mirage 62 (3 internal system fans)

I'll be using a HDD, LG-DVD RW drive & TFT monitor from my previous system but don't need these in the valuation

Nope not mad. I just lurk in the Computer Hardware FS section in
adverts every day.

In every price you mention the word "retail".
Adverts or anywhere else aint a Retail outlet.

You dont sell anything on Adverts to make a profit and most
often it wont make you happy either. But you make the money
back when you buy other cheap things on Adverts.

When the new intel processors come out the price will drop to
below 700. Sorry, but its life. :rolleyes:

I'm looking to sell a 146GB 15,000 rpm SAS hard drive (2ms access time) along with the necessary cables and a 256MB cache PERC 5i controller card which is capable of supporting up to 8 SATA or SAS drives. Anyone care to recommend a figure for this? I was thinking 300, but I'm not sure if that's enough.
