| 1471003 | 2020-08-10 04:22:00 | Although in normal circumstances this tower would have done me fine for years yet, I bought a new one that would cope with my heavy demands whilst using Affinity Photo. These are the specs - I transferred the HDD to my new one, with all my photos, etc. The new one also has an SSD, so the 'old' SSD remains with the 'old' tower. I know that I won't get anything near what it is really worth, so how much is realistic please? 10468 |

| 1471006 | 2020-08-10 21:39:00 | Why not just upgrade it? I haven't bought an entire PC since 1998. |

| 1471007 | 2020-08-10 23:02:00 | Unfortunately , its worth begger all. Better spec brand name PC's can sell for around $150 ish I have the same spec CPU in my main home PC . It does the job but AM3+ is very much obsolete . be happy if you can get $150 , you might get a lot more (trademe bidding war) , or you might only get $100 , and you'd want/need to find a local buyer . It could be worth more in parts , but will be more of a pain splitting up & selling separately . |

| 1471009 | 2020-08-11 21:27:00 | I would keep the SSD & toss the rest. Really? Quite likely the PSU is fine. The case will be. Rather radical to chuck the lot. Optical drive - if any. |

| 1471010 | 2020-08-12 00:09:00 | The motherboard & CPU do have a worthwhile value on trademe, despite being obsolete . Might get $40 ,$50+ just for the AM3 motherboard . Older AM3 mb's can get flaky so people want to buy a used replacement . I know this as Ive looked for used AM3 boards in the past, they sometimes sell for more than they should be worth (more than I'd want to pay). :) |
