    For now thats all I'm selling. Thought I'd get a figure from others as I need a educated guess. Im bending the rules a bit as this is just a "Full PC Only' thread. Throw a number at me. :)

    I was thinkin somethin similar. Maybe a bit more - but I was getting greedy I think :p
    So, a round figure for all 3 items, Gline?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,141 ✭✭✭masteroftherealm


    125-150max IMO.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,630 ✭✭✭gline


    125-150max IMO.

    sounds about right, id say €130 probably, depends if u find a desperate buyer :-)

    Ahh thanks Gline,

    That's more than I thought it'd be worth. I'm not too worried about playing the latest titles on max res, so it meets my needs perfectly. Was thinking about selling it in the near future and going with a different setup just for a change.

    Just saw this as well, already sold it, just curious as to how much my old would've gotten. Transferred all the hdds, dvd drives etc into the new and was left with this.

    3500 AMD64
    1 gig PC3200XL corsair
    Jeantech Achilles Case
    400W PSU
    Abit mb AGP, nforce3, firewire, 8 usbs, 2 ide controller and 2 sata etc.
    Galaxy 6800GT AGP
    Philips 16X Dual layer DVD+/-RW
    and threw in a crappy old 80g IDE hd.
