How much does my PC cost?

[Apokarteron]

I really want to get an iMac G5 but I haven't got the money...
I'm thinking of selling my PC, how much do you think it should cost? (look below at signature)

 

[Geoff]

Why would you want a G5?

I'd say around $500-$650. Depending on where you sell it.

 

[Apokarteron]

WHAT???

I was expecting like $1500

 

[Geoff]

Sorry to dissapoint you, it would have been worth $1500 many years ago. My system is only worth about $500.

For $1500 nowadays you could get:
Pentium D 2.8ghz Dual Core
2GB DDR400
6800GT 256MB
Audigy 2 ZS
300GB Hard Drive
DVD Burner
ect.

$1500 lol! damn $500 is being generous.

 

[Apokarteron]

Pentium D what's that? Celeron D?

I was expecting like $1500

For what? The chip is 150 bucks, ram is 30 bucks, videocard 150, burners since youve not specified exact models, 30 bucks apeice, HDDs are 60 bucks a pop for a ballpark of $510

Pentium d what's that? Celeron d?

CPU 101.

good call praetor.
I would try selling on ebay, but keep a reserve price,say around $500 - $600.

i sold a similar system with the difference of the harddrives and videocard sold for 300.

this i sold for that amount.

p4 2.6ghz
1gb ram
geforce fx 5200
floppy
dvdr burner
cd burner
zip drive
recovery dvds

 

[Geoff]

speaking of eBay, i previously sold this computer for only $450:
P4 3Ghz w/ht
1GB DDR400
ATI 9600XT
CD Burner/DVD ROM
Audigy 2 ZS

So i'd set a reserve of $450-$500, but you cant guarentee that it will sell for that much.

 

[sbeast64]

haha you quoted my current pc to a que, if only it had 512 ram.

but yea, $1500 could give you a very nice machine, maybe you could find some cheap upgrades/mods you can do to make it worth more while still making money?
