Maybe €300 sans OS terry.

If you were selling, split.

Terry

Hmm. About €550 to build.

Won't be selling it on adverts then.

Exactly what I was thinking.

They're all quite cheap new, and are now second-hand.

I think my valuation is realistic.

And they're dirt cheap.

Windows 7 home premium. €91.20

They are all brand new prices from Dabs.ie, apart from CPU from Pixmania.

Total = €427.47 Brand new
You got ripped.


As its now secondhand, you can knock around 25% off, leaving a price of €320.60 INCLUDING the OS.

So I reckon I was pretty much SPOT ON with my valuation. In fact, I'd valued it a little high as I'd said 300 without the OS, where it should actually include everything.

Thinking on selling mine and would be great to get an idea what I might get - was thinking maybe 400?

DFI Lanparty ut nf4 (I think, was the one below the SLI version)

2x512mb matched pair of OCZ (game extreme?) 2-2-2 timing is all i remember
8x nec dvd writer
ati x800xl (with arctic cooler type heasink/fan on it)

I think thats it, no psu or case to go with it. Was thinking 150 or would that be to much?

Ah you might get 100-150 for it.

Was a sweet machine around 2005/2006 - I had something similar. 3000+ Winchester and a Lanparty NF4 Ultra D (thats the board I think you're talking about).

It could be modded to work as SLI & SATA300 with a simple pencil mod on the NF-4 chip

jozi

Thats the board alright and prob why I bought it at the time. I should have boxes for everything somewhere to tbh i think id be happy with a little over 100 can pay for a new gfx card

thanks

Dabs don't take Laser.

Also, i meant to remove the part where I said t didn't include the os. It actually did.

But they do take paypal.

You gotta be smarter with your money when buying computer parts, as there's such a huge discrepancy in price from different suppliers.

Especially when buying lower end parts, where I've just shown you could have saved 22%~ on your machine (which is huge considering the total cost is not that high).

Its a pain to realise (I've been victim of making stupid purchases myself and losing money on it) that its best to shop around, and avoid Irish retailers who are charging WAY over the odds for parts.

Yep. Unfortunately PC/Laptop equipment depreciates in value rather quickly :rolleyes:

Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 2.20GHz

In two minds in getting the Acer Aspire Revo 3700 or laptop though.

Fanny Cradock

I'm wondering what a fair price would be to charge for the following beast.

AMD 3700+
1GB RAM
250GB HDD
ASUS SLI-Delux
7600GT
Case/ PSU combo.
XP (inc disk)

I'm assuming it will be less than 1K? :P
