    Anyone give me a rough idea on how much I could get for my Desktop Cab, no PC gear, just the cab, 19"LCD, controls and an extra joystick?

    Bit of a shame if you're selling your own custom cab.

    If you managed to find a customer who's a transformers fanatic, you could probably get more for it! ;)

    Start with the cost of materials and then add an extra 100 for labour maybe?

    I've no idea if that would be accurate or fair but just my initial thoughts?

    I'd be interested if you do decide to sell it on.
    Keep me in mind :)

    That's what others have said to me, figures I was getting back from them was €250 - €300. A mate of mine told me earlier that you can buy desktop cab kits on ebay for €200 and that's just the cabinet, so would €300 for mine be a fair price when you consider your getting a 19"LCD and the controls?

    I think you undervalued it a bit, the parts list alone would exceed your asking price.

    Going to leave it priced @ €250 but I will not move on that as I do think it's a fair price, but thanks for the input Bandit :)
