I am looking to sell this on ebay, how much should I ask for ???

please leave me some feedback on this my first mod

[BuzzKillington]

Awesome!

I would have to guess it'd sell for around $150. Depending on the mods, (from my observation) they don't make much profit and usually sell for around whatever the hardware is worth on the second hand market. Then again, you never know on ebay... with one of a kit items, it only takes two people that really want it.

PS: I'd probably put some more holes down below, maybe even another fan? What kinda temps are you getting at idle?

looks pretty sweet! might I suggest a tripod for your photos? might clear up the blurriness factor.

love old radios.

I wish the inside of the case looked a bit cleaner (not sure what kind of cable mgmt options are available here), but other then that, looks great!
