I think not, Elara must be losing the run of themselves compared to Komplett:

TOTAL €1088 + VAT = €1316, saving a cool €900 on Elara

If you're selling on boards with legit XP home, you would look at around the €1000 - €1100 mark here Samba, maybe slightly more cause shipping from Komplett adds about €90 to above. On B&S ya might get €1500, who knows

I know how you feel about depreciation m8. Ordered XP2400+ from Komplett 5 months ago for €212 which seemed a good price at the time, is now €90 so 2nd hand I would not get more than €70 on boards

Could be worse - had I gone for the XP2600+ at the time - then 390, now 120, 2nd hand €95

It is sickening to see the devaluation of computer components

thanks for the suggestion tags, off travelling in November, but would probably be better off selling now at the rate prices fall .


She may be up for grabs soon......the antec case not add a few squid on to her? , has a key to turn it on and all (not my own doing)

unkel

Yeah your case is nicer

BTW put in new thread to Cat (Elara board) to inform him of this shocking difference in price

marauder

saving a cool €900 on Elara

wow, I didn't expect THAT much of a difference - it pays to shop around....

xen

Yes it does PAY TO SHOP AROUND!!

Catalyst

OK, We had an Evolution and platinum series desktops which have now merged to just the evolution series, apologies for the prices last month, here is the same spec that was being compared to in this thread.
