I've hit a point on my life recently, where gaming isn't as important as it was a year ago.. I built this system specifically for gaming and with college coming up, I would like some cash. Anyway, here's the system specs. Windows 7 64 bit. Radeon HD 5850 Asus P7P55D-E Intel I7 2.8 Quad Core 4 Gigs of DDR3 Ram 850W Black Widow PSU Two 500 gig hard drives on Raid 1. There's probably little details that I'm missing. I spent maybe 2000-3000 on this system and would hope to maybe get that back. |

Why on earth would you raid 1 on a gaming rig? Anyway, I would say about $1500-$2000 could be expected depending on who you talk to. The problem with selling computers is that most people don't understand anything about them (just imagine buying a nuclear reactor without doing any research on it. That's about 90% of the market). So the hard part is actually educating the customer while selling your PC. If you can get a person to actually listen to what you say, you can get them to buy anything. |

I only did it because of the fear of losing data that I didn't want to reinstall. I could just simply bring it over to a raid 0 yeah? Edited Tue Aug 17 2010, 05:42AM |

ya if you could get $1500 you should be terribly happy selling used computer stuff is no easy task as toasty said i've had some good luck with hardforum.com lot's of people that know computers looking to buy trade and sell honestly though, ya you'll probably be getting $1000 realistically |

It's not a car :/ |

Everything has a depreciation rate. Try taking a non-liberal course. If you added and non-stock fans or did any special work to the chassis that factors into the price. Make sure it looks really clean and slick (buy a can of air and zipper ties). and dust it off. If the engine can still keep up with some of the newer ones it might still be worth something. Haggle that motherfucker til you're blue in the face. Wow, it's almost exactly like an... automobile |
