Selling My Pc

[gamer]

I'm selling my Pc and going to use my other pc. i could use the money in the future, like a car or better yet college. i don't have to worry about either of them, but i don't want to ask my mom for money for a car or the like. i'd rather buy it myself. yes having like the fastest pc avaible to public users is hot, i don't really need all that power. i'm happy playing games at 640x480 with minimum quality, as long as its playable.
incase anyone is wondering, my current pc:
asus a7n8x deluxe
athlon xp3000
1024mb ddr444
radeon 9800 pro 256mb
the pc i'm going back to:
not sure of motherboard, i think its a msi mobo tho
1ghz tbred
512mb pc133
geforce mx440

i am going to upgrade the gfx card tho. i can live with pc 133 memory, and a 1ghz processor, but i'm not going to limit playing half-life 2. besides, i'd rather chill with friends and go out with my g/f (i currently don't have 1, prolly becuz of having this super pc). i don't know if anyone here even cares, but i'm just letting you know that i won't have one of the best out there anymore after tommorrow.

i decided to sell my ol 1ghz machine, but i could have got 6,500 out it. thats including all the extras that went with it. but i won't go into details, when i bought the pc and all the stuff along with it, it cost me about 7 grand. and yes this is us dollars. but i still got the machine, and i got rid of the other one. i was stupid even considering going back.

unless you got a couple of 250 gig scsi 10,000rpm hdd's you got ripped off pretty bad :(

Athlon 3000+ Retail - Box + 3 Year Warranty (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=46511)

Asus A7N8X Deluxe (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=43223)

Corsair XMS3200 DDR RAM (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=46793) (only 434MHz, however, you don't really need anything more than the fsb of the cpu)

Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=49816)

250GB WD HDD (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=47656) (can't find any 200GB ones, 250 next more expensive)

23" Sony LCD Monitor (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=43867) (couldn't find any 22" on this site)

22" Philips CRT Monitor (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=35748)

6.1 Speaker Set (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=43258)

throw in a case, about £ or so, a power supply at £50 and other odds ane ends, say £50 again and what is the total?

£4111.99

now, at the current exchange rate of approx $1.67 US per £ sterling, that gives us:

$6867

which is remarkably close to your estimate, but how much different are parts in the us then the uk? a general conversion would be approx 65-70% of the prics, so 70% of $6867 is:

$4806.90

and this is for 100 gig more storage space than your current setup and for a 1" larger lcd monitor

of course, things will have come down in price since you bought them, but by over $2000?

pretty much :lol:

Sell it for 400$. It's guaranteed someone will buy it. But I don't think you'll get much people to buy your computer.

If i wanted a PC of that spec, chances are i'd buy it new, so I think you may have problems
