More than I would have expected somebody to say. I just updated my speakers. That has to add $15 or $20.

[Drum Thumper]

"My System"

Chances are I couldn't give it away on 2nd Avenue...

Maybe $250 (remember those cheap computers with linux that walmart was selling?

[rendermandan]

So is ths just based on equipment? or does it include a modded case?
If thats the case, then I'd say some of the systems on here are priceless.

[nevermind1534]

True. I think it's not figuring the modded cases into the value; I don't know.

[Drum Thumper]

Without the monitors, probably.

[nevermind1534]

Without the monitors, probably.

Without. I don't know how much with them, though. maybe $650 - $700.

[Spawn-Inc]

is the guessing price now or what you actually paid?

mine is in my sig

What it's worth now

[FuzzyPlushroom]

I don't want to know, even with the 1200. Just don't want to. So I'll ask this.

DEC server
Dual P2-266
192 MB RAM (one of the sticks died)
7x 9.1 GB SCSI
No front panel
CD-ROM

Talk to me, people. :D

[nevermind1534]

$25

I paid $8 for a PIII server with 512 megs of ram.

[xRyokenx]

Mine is also in the "My System" tab.

[bartvandenberg]

Mine is also in the "My System" tab.

I'm gonna guess about $500 CAD.


Anyone care to stab at my system? It may be for sale if anyone is interested? 8)

[FuzzyPlushroom]

For the record, I got that server for free, so I suppose I'm doing all right. I'd've put down up to about $20 for it, though.

For everything outside my main box, I like to stick with hardware that's already worthless - it can hardly go down in value. P3s are great for that.

[TheGreatSatan]

I'll give you $200 ;)

[nevermind1534]

I'll give $300 maybe.

[blueonblack]

Athlon 64 LE-1600 2.2 AM2 processor
MSI K9A2 CF-F mainboard
1 GB DDR2 800
80GB IDE HDD
8800GT 512MB w/Accelero S2 cooler
500-watt Sigma Shark PSU

2x LG IDE DVD burners (22x)

[bartvandenberg]

I'll give you $200 ;)


I'll give $300 maybe.


If that's the case, i should start building systems for a living. seems there is some good money in it:redface:

[Okele]

in My System as well. Although I will be upgrading the mobo/cpu/ram sometime in the next 3-4 weeks

[Spawn-Inc]

i spend 3-3500 for my system and its now worth 1400 or so lol...

i got that price as i built a system for a friend who spent that much and our systems are about the same performance.

[bartvandenberg]

so, what do you think my next system is worth?


Core i7 965 extreme cpu
Asus p6t Deluxe
12 gb's Dominator ddr3-2133
Enermax REVOLUTION85+ 1050W
3 gtx 295's in Tri-sli
2 300gb Velociraptors in Raid
1 terabyte WD black HD
Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium FATAL1TY

not sure why you would get an extra GTX 295 as you can only do quad sli with that. and if it were possible it would be hex-sli :)

[bartvandenberg]

haha.. good point. I forgot the 295's were dual. Ill pretend like i meant to say 285. yah.. thats what i meant.

[Datech]

Do me do me!! Heh, yea, in My System.

[The boy 4rm oz]

In "My System". I can tell you I paid close to $4000AUD (including software) RRP without the speakers.

[DaveW]

2 300gb Velociraptors in Raid
1 terabyte WD black HD

For the price of those two Raptors, you could probably get a Solid State Drive. You'd lost the space but gain the reading speeds...probably not suitable for your rendering work though, right?

-Dave

[TheGreatSatan]

Here's a question: What should I charge for this system?

P4 2.4GHz
1GB RAM
40GB hard drive
geforce 5200
Windows XP Pro wSP3
Microsoft Office

[nevermind1534]

I sold a socket 775 motherboard with a 3GHz P4 for $15. I'd say $250 - $300. But I do go a little low sometimes.

[TheGreatSatan]

Wow, I sold it for $100

[nevermind1534]

I was thinking those cheap computers that walmart had that have linux. I don't know, that probably actually is a little closer to what it's worth, especially since it's not new. And I think those came with monitors. I don't know how those compare. I wouldn't pay that much for it, and I sold that better motherboard and proc for $15.

[PartyLikeARockstar]

mines in my system specs, inside an ANTEC 1200 atm

[KiLLERMAN21]

^I'll give you a can of Coke, then seal the deal with a high-five!

[Vital]

PC Power Cooling 610w PSU
BIOSTAR TF560 MOBO
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200 Brisbane
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB
Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EACS 1TB
LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner
Logitech S-220 Speakers
XFX PVT84JUDD3 GeForce 8600GT
ARCTIC COOLING Accelero S2

I think that's it

So how much is it worth.

[aintnothang]

There need to be some sort of formula. Factors involved: depreciation, time, years owned, etc.

[KiLLERMAN21]

Check out My System. Not expecting much, weve had it for about 5 years, but back then it was top stuff :D Btw, I honestly have no idea what kind of PSU it running, and at the moment I am feeling much too lazy to check.

[Vital]

So anyone on mine, two posts back? I am kind of curious because I may sell it.

[billygoat333]

So anyone on mine, two posts back? I am kind of curious because I may sell it.

with just the system itself, ~350-450 dollars is what I would say, but I am not sure :P

[DonT-FeaR]

mine?

[The boy 4rm oz]

I'm not that great at estimating the price of older components cos each place will give you a different verdict. Give me top of the line specs and I will do it for ya in a few secs lol.

@Vital - In Australia I have seen a system like that go for around $700-$800AUD depending on age and included software.

@DF - Probably around $1000-$1200AUD with the screen.

[bartvandenberg]

Killerman = about 300-350?
Vital = about 450-500?
Dont fear = about 700?

thats CAD, so a bit less in USD obviously. but those are prices based on other comparable used systems ive seen.

[bartvandenberg]

mines in my system specs, inside an ANTEC 1200 atm

I would gather a guess at about $1200 CAD with screen included.

[KiLLERMAN21]

300 bucks for mine? Haha, sweet. I realised after I posted, the two most expensive things to do with my PC are my headphones and mouse! Take those two out and my screen and it'd be around 80 bucks :(

[DonT-FeaR]

lol
i have gone down 3fold... 700 bucks from like 2100

[The boy 4rm oz]

Yeah this hobby of ours tends to do that.

[PartyLikeARockstar]

I would gather a guess at about $1200 CAD with screen included.

sad... It's been together maybe 2 weeks, and I spent more than that in USD building it.

hahaha the price of tech. Good thing I didn't spend more empty cash on Windows.

[chaksq]

Interested on price for my system, specs in the my system drop down. Would only have 1 HD either 250gb or 160gb. No monitor or speakers, would include generic keyboard and mouse.

[SKDgarbage]

Well heck, I'll bite.
Specs in "my system" along with a 680 watt psu, cable select, all that jazz. Can't remember the brand though, mebbe a rosewell? a lite-on dvd burner, and 2x 75gig WD raptors.

[SXRguyinMA]

$1300 for SXRguyinMA because of the w/c system

ok now scratch the ATi card in my specs and replace it with the two Radeon HD3870x2's in crossfire I snatched up last night :devious:

[The boy 4rm oz]

Oh nice buy mate.

[SXRguyinMA]

Oh nice buy mate.

thats the best part, I didnt buy them. I traded a rolling tool cart, and old 3-drawer snap-on carry-style toolbox and my eflite blade cx heli for them :banana:

[The boy 4rm oz]

Now that is a good deal, makes it even better lol.

[blueonblack]

Ok, this thread isn't dead yet, so I can post this without fear of accusations of necromancy.

I'm seriously considering selling my main system and starting over, can anyone give me a ballpark figure for sale? I'm talking Craigslist or Ebay price here, not a tech board like ours. (We all know the price is lower when the buyer knows what he's doing.)

Enermax Phoenix mid-tower case
Sigma Shark 550-watt PSU
MSI K9A2 Platinum mainboard
AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 2.8 dual-core CPU
Tuniq T-120 CPU cooler
2 x 2GB OCZ Reaper DDR2 800 ram
Hitachi Deskstar 3.5" 320GB SATA hdd
Two LG 20x IDE DVD recorders
Two Gigabyte HD 4670 512MB video cards
HANNS-G 19" widescreen LCD
Windows XP Home 32-bit OEM (disc & key)

Anyone give me some numbers?

[knowledgegranted]

Try me, you'll be surprised what this system actually cost. (look in "my system")
