Probably around £180.
Machines tend to go for less than the components that make it up, economies of scale and all that.
I would suggest you watch a few similar systems to yours through ebay to see what the going rate is.
I note you have put prices in your question which to me implies that you are falling into the trap of expecting similar values back.
All your components are now second hand regardless of whether they have only been in use 1 day.
Dont quote me on these but i would recon you could get the following for each of your components.
CPU - £20
RAM - £30
HDD - £25
6600GT - £25 just sold 1
Audigy £20
CRT - £10 if your lucky more likely £1
XP and Vista £ you tell me both with licenses £100?
PSU - If quality £30

Figure out what a new one with your components would cost. Now you need to realize that the ones that know about computers will know prices and if you hope for a bit more then you should advertise to the people that want a computer but just don't know allot about them. If you have one to sell , then all it takes is to be proud of it, want to sell it, and poof it's sold! and bye the way it sounds pretty good!, so advertise it with passion!

If you offer it with a clean XP/Vista install (mention it in the add) 200 isn't such an outrageous price.
What you payed for it is sorta irrelevant.

in case you have an account or understand somebody with an account ..attempt ebay. Thier costs for promoting are authentic looking and that i've got had an excellent style of achievement in promoting my undesirable reusable products..

i don't know where you live but you might get an idea what it's worth by checking e-bay and price watch to see what comparable systems are selling for. but remember it costs money to run an ad in the paper.
i redo older systems to donate to poor kids for school use, and i was recently given a simular system for free but the motherboard was failing.
i rectly built a system for some one that was comparable to yours for 150.00.
it really depends on whether you can find some one who wants it. in england you might get more but that depends on how long your willing to wait for some one to meet your asking price. personally electronics don't hold their value well.

£240 - £270
Because its second hand , people would probably just by a new one because you can get them as cheap as that with the spec.
