I\'m in the US, so I\'ll be selling in dolars.

From another forum I was advised that ~$400 would be a decent price. I guess I\'ll start a bidding at around $375, see where that gets me.

$20 will earn you a kick in the throat, and a complimentary bums rush.

Well, there are loads of people who would buy out of date computers! Just look around eBay.

It\'s quite a good computer, the problem is that you probably get it brand new for about *grumbles something about francs* 600EUR, that\'s about $600 I think, so $400 would be cheap if it\'s in good health, expansive if it\'s not :)

400 - 500$ max. Though, don\'t get it lower than 400, doesn\'t worth giving it away so easily, the cpu is relative decent, same goes for the graphic card, that still costs around 150 - 200$.

 Uhh, I just found a guy selling his Hercules 9800XT, with 200 euro. That means around 240$.

 The memories, I think 30$ for each is a good price to start from.

 As for the mainboard and the cpu, 100, max 120$ for both.

 Make the math.

 ;)

 As for the time you\'ll \"change\" your pc, let me know, to give you some tips for the graphic card, and if you need, mainly for everything.

 Good Luck!

I decided to look at sites and try to rebuild my system to see how much it would cost.

Using http://www.pricewatch.com I was able to throw it together in 5 minutes wasting $300.

But Bestbuy.com and compusa.com both wanted around $600 (bring down to $500, seeing as their system was slightly better) for something like this.

So if I can find a shoper that doesn\'t know the benefits of using sites like newegg.com and pricewatch.com, I could easily sell for $400.
