Well im my new pc is up and running now and got everything copied over from old hard drive tha i needed so im selling my old pc. However im not sure what a good price would be to sell it. Here are the specs:

2500Xp Barton (I could OC this so on Bootup it would read as a faster CPU=more money :P )
512mb ram (PC2700)
128mb Geforce MX 440
Either 160gb HDD or 40gb HDD ( I havnt decided which one o include yet, would the 160gb one raise hwe price by much)
DVD-/+rw
DVD Rom
A-Open MK77N-8XM Motherboard (USB 2.0, 100mbit Lan and so on)

I'll include an install of Windows Xp, Office Xp and maybe a few games (Half Life 2 and Doom 3).

What do you think i should sell for (I'll be selling locally in a local newspaper so remember they are likely to be less technical and see 128mb graphics card and think its top of the range.

I would keep the 160 gig for yourself...and sell it as a mid range, non-gaming rig

you might get someone who'll pay ya a couple of hundred for it, but i don't see you getting much more than that.

Well i have 250gb right now plus either the 40gb or the 160gb. 250gb is enough fro me and i could survive on it. The thing is although the specs dont show it, ity plays games pritty well. Far Cry, Doom 3 and Half Life 2 all look amazing and not much lag on medium settings.

If the 160gb would push the price up enough i'll put it in there but if its not gonna add much i'll keep it.

its true, you wont get jack for it without a cheap monitor etc.

think about it, what tech minded person would buy 2nd hand from the paper? and what n00b would buy without monitor etc.

my advice, grab the cheapest 2nd hand 15" you can and sell it as a package, or split it up into pieces...im sure youd offload the HDD and GFx card, RAM and DVD burner (depending on what speed it is)

Well im being offered a FX5900 Ultra (256mb) for £80 - is That a good deal? Worth it? It means i could stick a 5700 (256mb) into this pc im trying to sell. Would the FX5700 raise the price by alot over the Geforce 4 MX?

Is the 5900 Ultra worth £80? And how muc price difference will the 5700 be to the Mx440?

yeah i had already read that but wanted other peoples views for two reasons:

-I can't find the card for sale anywhere, they seem to have stopped selling it, so i cannot find if te £80 price is good.
-Those games are more than a year old and even though the card is pushing 100FPS in call of duty i wan o know how it will stand up to he likes of Doom 3 and he other giants of graphics.
