How much is my computer worth?

Jakmeehan,

I reckon you'd be doing well to get around 500 (if even).

It was probably quite an expensive machine when you bought it, but the main parts are now obsolete. (CPU & Vid card).

The 8800GTX you couldn't even sell for €100 these days, and the QX6850 - while still being a fairly decent CPU, you'd probably sell for around the same as its been well surpassed with the new quad cores.

The Ageia PhysX card you may as well put in the bin - they're not sold anymore, and are not made anymore.

Thanks, Gunner.
I had an idea it wasn't worth too much because of that fact. It is, all the same, an extremely powerful machine so I think I will be keeping it after all :-D

I know its a pain in the bum having parts depreciate so quickly these days

That is too true!

Last years top of the line parts will be this years budget option.

These days, as soon as you bring something home from the shop, you can wipe 30-40% off the re-sale value.

It's horrible.

Although, It's good when buying used parts

Exactly! You just have to be clever - and unless you have money to burn, NEVER buy top of the range components as soon as they come out

My thinking exactly, so I can't wait until the end of the year for an i7 :-D

I'd imagine around 500 would be reasonable.

Say ~70 for e7300, ~75 for ram, 100~ for gpu, ~120 for HDD's, ~40 for DVD-RW's, ~70 case

You'd get around €1100 or maybe a little more for that IMO.

Being AGP you may get 50-60. They're around €90 new just about everywhere.

Ball park, how much is this worth? I was thinking €490, is that unrealistic?

White MacBook (model 1.1)
Intel Core Duo 2Ghz
2Gb Ram (667Mhz)
60Gb Hard Drive
Original Box,Charger,Discs etc (OSX Tiger + iLife),Remote
In very good condition. Except: battery doesn't hold charge very long. Works fine on power supply.

Win 7 (if with disk etc) would help with the value. €250 would not be unreasonable. Its an old CPU, low end GPU, very small PSU, and small HDD. Win 7 is worth more than any other part of the system TBH.

You have got to be kidding. Macbooks hold their value very well. €400 - 450 would be my estimation.

Nah, you have to be Kidding! Core duo (not core 2 duo), with a dead battery and a tiny 60gb hard disk! No way will that fetch more than 250.

A PC laptop, yeah. A macbook, nope. Worth more than 250.

With the monitor, €450 maybe... I'm assuming the processor is an Intel Q8300, and it has integrated graphics.

If you want to post the service tag number so I can check the definite specs.
