Answer 1

For hardware $1480 new.
So if used $600.
Abused/OC'ed $300

ASUS A8N-SLI deluxe NEW $70
Ram New $180

XP/SP2/Vista New $130
Office New $350

Adobe Photoshop 8 New $60
WinDVD Suite (many different versions/options) $5 to 70 New

Overall sounds good to me for $600.00 :) Keep the software and I will snatch the hardware.

Answer 2

I completely agree with Lamplight and I do not agree with the low pricers. This computer is worth at least $1200 and maybe a little more. Unless however, Mike abused it or did not take good care of it. I will not pay top dollar for a broken used computer even if it had a pair of 7900's in SLI. So Mike, it is either worth the 1200 or very little if it is broken or not cared for.

Answer 3

try and sell it to a computer store or even a small dealer and they will offer you a tenner thats all. I know I tried it myself and just gave it away to a friend in disgust. They charge you so much yet give so little. In fact it had the same specs. as yours. Hey some of the guys on here are saying over 1.000 come and get mine babes for that you can have it.

Answer 4

id say about £650 the graphics cards are not very good, 8 series are out now, my 7800gs beat a set up simlilar to yours (custom pc, bench test) and thats on AGP!! The motherboard and CPU arent the best, but its a generally ok pc and only a serious gamer would want more.

Answer 5

Since you have 400 MHZ ram, ill assume the processor is 800 MHZ (Buss Speed)

You have a nice video card, it would be worth more to someone who is a gamer.

I would try 1000-1500, depending on how 'used' it is.

Answer 6

The mother board and processor are nothing special. +$50
but the ram is 2 GB so that will fetch a bit +$100
The graphics are great + $50
HDD ok +100
CDr/w / DVDr/w is great +$100 if together +$125 if apart
The sceen gets $100
+200 base system

$600-$1300 australian

Answer 7

about three hundred MAYBE.. sorry to tell you the resell on computers is the pitts. the prices for everything drops by leaps and bounds everyday . its a fact of life just like when you drive a new car off the lot ..you just lost 2500 dollars..

Answer 8

i think your pc is worth at least £900 pounds sterling, more if you had a different processor because the amd fx series is not the greatest for gaming unlike the rest of your computer.

Answer 9

sell it one ebay or get an accurate estimate from microsoft or future shop, a place where they sell computers (well known stores, notthe cheap places, as your computer is very high quality for games)

Answer 10

Realistically, not very much if anything at all.

Computers aren't that expensive anymore and when people want one they want them new not used.

If you really want to know, put an ad up at your local grocery store with your phone number asking people to make an offer. Don't be surprised if you don't get any takers or an absurdly low offer.
