    I'm saving up for a new paintball marker so I need to sell my computer and need a price check.

    The parts are as following

    AMD Athlon 3000+ processor
    Nvidia xfx 6600gt
    Gigabyte K8 triton
    Aspire chameleon series 550w psu
    Thermaltake tsunami dream silver ATX tower
    Saitek eclipse 2 keyboard
    Razer copperhead first edition mouse
    Linksys wireless g card
    80 gigbite harddrive
    cd drive


    I can get pictures in a bit



    Does anyone know how much that would sell for?

    Are you serious? Prices drop that much? :(

    The case was $150, the mouse $90, keyboard $70. And I know that the rest of that gets cheaper but that stuff :(

    I don't really know how much would your computer cost since I'm not an expert. What kind of paintball gun are you planning to buy? Do you play woodsball or speedball?

    I want an Ion, but I play both speed and woods. I like woods more but I hate long range tippmanns so I want an ion which is good for both.

    If you part out your PC & sell the items separately, you might get more than expected.

    Yep, part it out.

    I built a very similar box (same case, Athlon 64) etc a couple of years ago, put about $1700 in it (had more HD than you, Raptors in Raid 0) but I think the price they are giving you is about right.. No more than $500 tops.. Case is nice, but a lot of buyers don't care about the look.

    Zupra, you aren't going to get much from that computer -- especially with Core 2 Duo's expecting a major price drop and quad-cores expected to go mainstream with Barcelona coming out soon (AMD's new chip).

    Your best bet? Throw it in the closet and use it as a file server and put F@H on there and crunch for the Ferrarichat team ;)

    Probably just about $400. $60 processor, $80 video card, decent PSU and case, somewhat small HD. How much memory? Is it a PCI-Express or AGP 8x video, do you have a SATA HD or ATA?

    If that's what's holding you back, for 50$ you could buy like 2gb of ram.

    I was also looking up the specs on the motherboard processor and graphics card. I think I'll be building my own tower instead. Good luck with the sale.

    yep computers depreciate like a mofo... every month, there is a new graphics card, processor etc...maybe more like $425 would be a good place to start? on an optimistic side...

    Computers/parts are outdated the moment you walk out of the store.

    That's why you should steal them so you only waste time.
