Hey, my mate is selling his old pc, well he wants to but doesnt know what price range he is looking for as the asking price. You got any recommendations if to sell it bit by bit or as whole, or anyone here want it.
its just under 2 years old but has upgraded parts.
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ 2.2Ghz (OC'd)
Gigabyte K8NS 939skt
1GB DDR PC3200 400MHz, x4 256MB sticks
ATi Radeon X800 XT 256MB AGP (on tomshardware it gets 932fps overall)
160GB 7200RPM Samsung HDD
550Watt Qtech PSU
Some random Full ATX case lol
Erm anything else you need. Basically how much do you recon you could get for it.
Cheers hope Chunk can get his mits into this thread for some interesting info on it!

It is agp... expect anything from as low as £50.00, it has no upgrade path to play games, no one is going to spend over £150.00 to get a fast agp card, and s/hand gc cards are far between.
So it is an e-mail machine, I have an old spare 1gig athlon that performs that function as and when required.. it is worthless.
I am about to put an antec Sonata cased pentium 4 3.2 ghz 1gig ram 160 gb h/d, dvd burner agp machine in my garage as a standby... that is not worth selling,a better machine than the above.
As an interesting point I am doing a rebuild on my Athlon venice 3500 using a coolermaster case and psu with a 320 gb h/d a BFG 7900GT, sata dvd and 2 gig of Corsair xms ram. Why! because even as parts on e-bay it is going for a pittance.
This though is pci graphics, has an upgrade path and now becomes my computer no. 2.
Find someone who is gullible and likes playing the Sims to sell it to!

I would go along with the £100 to £150 value. The Qtech PSU is awful and the ancient graphics card is no help. Basically it is good for surfing the net and old games. I would split all the parts and Ebay them rather than selling it as a full piece of junk. It's a shame really, but in reality that's how the PC market is. We have £100 wizbang CPU's and the cheapest memory ever.

Yeah I would agree, but depending on selling tactics will vary the amount you get it for. And make sure everythings clean, no dust etc and that can help as it doesn't look as aged.
But I have a computer that I game on, newest one but my previous one is basically now a machine for varied things and can lend a hand somtimes.
Whatever you think really ;)
