The "What is it worth?" thread

I'm a noob... I'll bite. :) Some of these components are worth 10 cents, but I put them in anyway. Along with your price guess, give me your 2 cents on some of these components. This was a computer that I built about 5 years ago and it sat collecting dust for a long time while I mangled four laptops. I finally scrapped the notebooks and dusted off this trusty tower.

The reason I ask is because I plan on upgrading this tower; nothing serious, but probably a raid (I think my board has already has a raid controller) with four 250g HDs, step up to 4g memory, then use it for light home server, home studio use and video editing. If I get really adventerous I might go with Ubuntu or something also, but I'm still pretty noob-ish. These components were some of the better ones 5 years ago, just wondering if they'll suffice today.

ASUS P4C800
P4 at 3.2ghz, 800FSB
2g memory, PC3200 DDR
XPpro SP3
Antec Sonata 380WPS
PCI 56k modem (hey, it was cool in War Games)
3.5 floppy drive (it was free, don't laugh)
GF-FX5500AGP, 256mb
Lite-on dual layer DVD+-RW 16x
Audigy 2ZS Pro platinum with studio interface
6-1 card reader
PCI firewire card
Obvious Belkin LAN stuff

Some software that might be worth something:
Cubasis VST 4
Fruityloops studio 4
 
@pdc, i would say around $1800 with stock aircooling on everything, probably $2300 with water(blocks are getting expensive :()

@curtis, i would say around $250-$300(pentium 4/older systems don't sell for as much)

@arc, i would say around $800
