Paid about $400 plus shipping in March 08 for it, used it, oc'd what i could but didn't keep it high for more than testing. Video makes it too 800/1000, CPU passed tests w/o issues at 2310 stock, and 2333 to boot. IDE drive is for OS (issues with SATA boot, didn't care to fix, if you know how it's no problem, just drivers) and has a round IDE cord, the other 2 drives are SATA.
Case has an AMD X2 sticker on the bottom side by the power/inputs.

What would be an appropriate price? The monitor is CRT 19" so i'm not big on shipping, but if you'd like just pay for w/e shipping is. Can also throw in some cheap black speakers if you'd like. No mouse included.
Any questions welcomed.

EDIT (RED is old, Green is new, ignore RED)

Really 250?? that's like 60% of the new price, without shipping, and it's only about three months old
 
Welcome to the crappy economy!! You could prob get more out of it from a noob but from experienced people like us $250 is pushing it.
 
i'm just a little curious, how high were u able to OC with these parts? i'm guessing only a few hundred mhz since it's AMD and on a mATX board?

yup like g25racer said, $250 would be pushing it because AMD is a big turn-off these days and you can never get near what you payed for it because it's used
 
AMD is not a big turn off!! I love AMD. AMD is great for people who want good performance and dont wanna spend $1000 on a way over-priced Intel.
 
i'd also say $250 w/o monitor. but if you have a copy of windows to install, and use it to replace kubuntu, you could probably get at least $325. And I would ad another $25 if you include the moitor. Also, I agree with g25racer, amd is a budget company for people who don't want to lose 20lbs from their wallet for a cpu. But, I don't think CRTs are to bad either. All computers I've owned and am using have had been CRTs, except for a 4-week mac expirience, and their not that bad, especially flat screen CRTs.
 
If its a flat screen crt then maybe its worth it. Crt monitors are just not sexy enough to sell anymore but they still serve as functional. I am actually going to be hooking up a second monitor and its actually a CRT just for fun. We will see how it goes I wish I had the money b/c I would take that pc off your hands.

Click to expand...

the cpu was 2310 stable on stock cooling, and would boot at 2333. Not much, about par with a 4500+.
the 8600gt actually surprised me alot, the memory used is supposed to top out at 800mhz, but mines currently at 1000mhz, and the core is at 800mhz on stock cooling, it runs quite nicely.
 
well, maybe some one less tech oriented?? i mean, mine was 390 without shipping, and used since the beginning of march so im thing 300-350... ok well thanks guys
