well my laptop does everything i need.... so i am considering selling the desktop for 282 degree cam money
heres the specs.


AMD Athlon XP 3000+
1.25 gigs of ram
NVidia 6600GT 128mb video card
built in surround sound audio
Asus motherboard nforce2 (forget the model but i can look it up if someone wants me to)
250 gig sata maxtor hard drive
80 gig western digital hd
40 gig western digital hard drive
dual layer dvd burner
Comes with windows XP home. (cd will be included)
WinFast 2000 XP Expert tv capture card
Linksys Wireless B/G card

all components are less then 4 months old and work perfect. except the 40 gig hd(its a year old but still works fine)

case is a Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel, SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower that is less than a week old.



ooo and i might sell my ipod with all the music on it how much do u think those are worth with music now? i saw one sell for 450 with 10000 songs smile.gif.

You can get around 1500 for that desktop.

oh ya.... a 19" LCD monitor is here too... i dunno if i wanna sell it the 19 is bigger than my 17 widescreen on the laptop.....

Go on Ebay and see if you can find any being auctioned. That way you'll have a good idea for an asking price.

4 months = 4 years in computer years. That stuffs outdated now. I doubt you could get $1500 for it. Not counting the video card and tv card, the desktop I bought for my wife has the same specs and I bought it off the shelf new for $500. Ebay is probably the best way to go to find a good asking price.

00tibby

i did and now im asking what YOU guys think...not to refer me to ebay :-P. lol.

plus i couldnt find a system like mine. the parts are pretty far off, even the closest i found.

ok, to post above me.... computers are NOT outdated as fast as you think.. only they high end. if you go for the best you lose the best about 5 months later. but for most computers these specs are WAY above average.

example.... dell sells their E510s for 1090, with like 3/4ths the specs....... one the far left side.... http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/f...s=19&l=en&s=dhs




EDIT: i think i found something similar.... no os, no monitor, no keyboard, no wireless, no tv capture, 1/2 the hd space, and no speakers.. it does however have a slightly better cpu, and a slightly better graphics card. those are the only things......

Sorry Tibby, I read too much MaximumPC! It depends on what you use it for. Only websurfing, I have a 300mhz gateway that my kid uses that almost as old as him. Video editing, not so long. Games or game server, even less time. Mutiple functions, not long at all. I would pay around a grand for that system. Your only saving grace is tons of storage, but that's dirt cheap nowadays. I used to build computers. High end mostly. And I gave it up because it was too hard to make people understand that, for the money, what I was giving them was something that was going to last them a long time and was going to be upgradeable. Now computers are basically disposable. Pay cheap now, if it breaks just replace it.

00tibby

i disagree. read above.... at my edit .


heres another
http://cgi.ebay.com/High-End-Game-Video-Ed...1QQcmdZViewItem so i think tanc was on target pretty much.....

I read your edit. I would rate that computer right up there with the turbonator, as far as a quality product. You will find someone who will pay what you're looking for. It just won't be someone who knows alot about computers. I could probably get more selling my Tib to a 16yr old kid then to one of the savvy members of this forum.

00tibby

of course u would but in the range of 1300-1500 is where i would put my computer i think. and with the lcd probably like 1450-1650.
