    I'll be transferring that lot from the supplied case into my White Air540

    I now have a spare GTX1080 and RTX2060 that I know are 'worth' €500+ at these insane times for GPU pricing. However, I would like to leverage these to help sell and get a few quid for a now spare 6700K/Z170 and 4670K/Z97 and a few other spare components.

    So my plan is to put the spare 6700K/Z170/2x 8gb Corsair Vengance 3000mhz DDR4/Corsair H110GT AIO/RTX2060/750w PSU/500GB Samsung Evo SSD/Toshiba 3TB HDD/4-5x Thermaltake Ring LED fans ie. Close to whats currently in my white Air540 case into my spare Black Air540 that I bought years ago for a long aborted Media Server build.

    Heres the Black Air540 on the right side of my Desk:

    In the spare Coolermaster Masterbox Q500L case I bought last year for an aborted dedicated VR build for my brother, I'll put the following components:

    4670K/Z97/2x4gb Corsair Vengence 1600mhz DDR4/Corsair H100iV2 AIO/GTX1080/450w or 650w PSU/500GB Samsung Evo SSD/Toshiba 3TB HDD/4x Thermaltake Ring LED Fans.

    Note, I'll perform a mod to dremel out 120mm Fan openings in the Chassis to solve the ventilation issue that got this case terrible reviews. Theres simply not enough and too small perforations in the chassis/mesh to let enough air through even with High Pressure fans. Dremel/cut out 120mm openings for the fans and its a great little well ventilated case. I'll use rubber u-channel to trim the new openings like this stuff

    So given that the RTX2060 and GTX1080 are selling for €500 each on their own, what would be a fair price for these builds that potentially generates another few hundred euro's and helps me get rid of all these other spare parts.

    You'll probably get a lot of people just offering to buy the GPUs, but there's a couple of 6700k builds with 1080s for 850-1k in adverts at the moment. You could probably stick the 2060 build up for 1k and the 4670k up for like 750 and just see what offers come in.

    Might actually swap the GPU's around. Sell the 1080 with the newer CPU/Mobo combo 6700k/Z170-a and aesthetically it'll match because thats basically my 2016 build. (Plasti-dipped the Palit Super Jetstream 1080 White). And sell the newer in even more demand 2060 with the 4670K system to make that older CPU/Mobo combo a bit more enticing.
