A Computer
« on: August 20, 2012, 03:33:15 pm »
How much do you think I could sell a computer for? I'm guessing $600. Here are the specs:

Windows 7 Home
Intel i3 3.2ghz x2
Radeon 5830 1gb 256bit (core 800MHz memory 1000MHz)
12gbs RAM, 2x2gb 1333 G.Skill / 2x4gb 1600 Team Group
MSI 3GB/s USB 2.0 Micro ATX
Seagate 1tb HDD (7200rpm)
Sony Optiarc DVD drive
Black Broadway Com mid ATX case, steel, w/ 3 80mm fans
Xigmatek 600 watt

It is moderate, I built it for about $650 in March 2011. The 5830 is sort of 'deactivated' and it's home built

So around $600 because you can build the step up for about $750 (USB 3.0 6gb/s Sata mobo w/ x2 PCI, 1.5tb HDD, Radeon 6870, Intel 3.3ghz sandybridge), assuming a $30 case, if I did things right

You'd have to spend another $150 or so to 'futureproof' it for another year or two, like new mobo with 2 pci slots, and a new case to house it, so it comes down to comparing prices, and convenience

You might want to think about selling each component seperately?

If someone's looking for 12 gigs of RAM and they see a used 12gb bundle like that for a decent price they'll snap that right up. Same for the HDD.

I'll probably sell it part by part eventually. It seems I could only get $350 for the whole setup, which makes sense considering you could build a pretty nice setup for $600
