| 1283739 | 2012-06-25 07:03:00 | Hi all Finally upgrading the old girl. Will then retire my old PC out to a loving home but wondering where to pitch the price. Specs; Core 2 Duo E8400 Gigabyte GA-EG43M-S2H mobo 4GB DDR2 800 Asus DVD-RW 5 x Hard Drives - 80GB, 160GB, 250GB, 500GB and 1TB (may split these up and keep a couple for external back up drives) Coolermaster CM690 case Silverstone ST50EF-Plus 500W PSU Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit (don't laugh - I never had any problems with Vista!) All original manuals, discs etc included. Where would you pitch it price wise? Replacing with; i5 3570k 8GB DDR3 1600 Asus P8Z77-V LK mobo LiteOn iHBS212 Blu-ray writer Crucial m4 128GB Solid State Drive 2 x 2TB Western Digital SATA Drive Coolermaster CM690 II Advanced case Enermax 750W PSU Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Can't wait to build it up and have a play! Thanks all. |

| 1283740 | 2012-06-25 07:09:00 | I bought a 2Ghz C2D, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD for $190 today for a friend. Basic case / PSU, but still, should give you a rough idea :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1283741 | 2012-06-25 07:40:00 | With all hd's id say $400 | stratex5 (16685) | ||
| 1283742 | 2012-06-25 09:22:00 | Looks like it may be more financially prudent to sell it as parts...... | Tukapa (62) | ||
| 1283743 | 2012-06-25 09:28:00 | I would probably keep most of the HDDs, and only sell the 500gb one with the rest of the machine | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1283744 | 2012-06-25 09:40:00 | I have a friend who just got a computer with a phenom x3 720, GTX275, 2x2GB GSkill 1600mhz RAM. 500gb HDD, Antec Nine Hundred V2 case and a corsair 450w PSU for $450 if thats any help. So I'd say Chill is pretty close. No gpu in that pc? | icow (15313) | ||
| 1283745 | 2012-06-25 10:08:00 | I'll give you $10 for it + shipping to Nelson as my dedicated 3D printing comp went up in smoke, so I'm having to run the printer on my netbook as only computer I can realistically take to the workshop, I'll only need one hard drive though. :devil | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1283746 | 2012-06-25 19:59:00 | It has an Nvidia GeForce 7950GT at the moment but I'm debating throwing that in my new build. I don't do any gaming on it, the most graphically intensive I get is Photoshop. gary - thanks for the offer - let me think about it.... :crying NickG - exactly what I was thinking - I could make use of the hard drives. Thanks all - computers worse than cars for depreciation! |

| 1283748 | 2012-06-25 22:38:00 | It's a fairly nice case and PSU, I'd be tempted to keep those myself if it wasn't for the stupid place the 690 has it's power button. I'd leave it with one of the 3 mid sized drives and try for $400-$500. It is worth a bit more with the GPU as that would make it an ok gaming machine for someone on a budget. What I've done in the past is listed an old PC on trademe for a bit more than I actually want for a week or 2 before dropping down to my real price range, if someone has a specific use in mind your old machine could be a bargain for them. Unfortunately you're competing with basic upgrade boxes which don't cost much more that $400 brand new and it's only really the OS and the graphics card that make your old machine more attractive, and although I agree that Vista actually works fine it has a stigma that'll never go away. If you could live with your old case/psu/graphics card then it's probably worth more for what it can save you on the new build than what you can get for it 2nd hand. |
