RTA Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I have a setup I got from a buddy that i've been using for the past six months or so as my media center, but i'm going to be doing a bit of traveling soon and need all the cash I can get my hands on. The problem is, i'm not sure how much (roughly) it might be worth. Any advice would be great. AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ AsusTek A8N-VM CSM mobo 4GB ram (4x1GB) Seagate Barracuda ST3320620AS 320GB Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 150 ATI All-in-Wonder 2006 PCI-e 2 fairly standard CD burners/DVD reader optical drives (Combo 52x32x52x and an older 48x24x48) Internal Media Card readers (SM/xD, CF Microdrive, SD/MMC and a fourth, labeled 'Pro') Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48495-desktop-value/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquanutz Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I'd say at most $400 from someone that knows very little about computers. That is a semi-fair price. On here though, you'd be lucky to get $300 since most people on here know that they coudl build that exact (minus the 4gigs of ram) machine for under $300 and have it be brand new. The upside of it is the ram though, that may get a little more. Good luck if you decide to sell it.

triggerc Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm a pretty strict appraiser of things, but here goes. $90 max for the processor $90 max for the motherboard $200 for the RAM unless they are high quality overclockers $70 max for the Barracuda $55 for the TV tuner $90 for the all in wonder $35 max for the cd drive and card reader total: $630, might be a little less depending on how old the stuff is.

If you know where to look, you most certainly can. But hey, I just gave him my opinion. Yours differs and that is fine. It's probably better that it does so he can get an average.

triggerc Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 where are you going to go to look for new parts for 25% cheaper than newegg and ewiz? I'd like to know.
