532615 2007-03-13 08:42:00 Hello everyone!

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what my system is worth...its well due for a replacement. Have to sell it to get enough bucks together...

Anyway specs are below...
Case: Raidmax Elite 208 Mid-Tower (with 420W PSU)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (Insanely overclocked at 2.05GHz...lol)
Harddrive: Western Digital 80GB (Wanna keep my 320GB for new system)
Mobo: Albatron k8m800 (VIA chipset, onboard audio, lan, video)
Ram: 1.5GB (512MB A-DATA DDR400 and 1GB Corsair ValueSelect DDR400)

Also the usual Sony floppy and BTC Dual layer 16x DVD Burner
Includes XP and heaps of other software I "obtained".

Case has had a few LED mods to flash it up a bit and also theres a 56k modem which hasnt been used in yonks...4MB Cable is so much more fun :-)

Someone out there tell me what its worth!!!
I'm thinking AM2 4600+ for new CPU...just wondering what this thing can overclock to...whats have you lot managed????

Cheers in advance, Huey

532618 2007-03-13 09:20:00 Depends on whether the "obtained" software you speak of is legit or pirated. $250 is about right as Metla said. CYaBro (73)
532619 2007-03-13 09:33:00 alot of it is isos i ripped from mates etc...is that pirated? well it is but how pirated

The new system may have to wait a bit longer if thats all ill get for it.

Still wanna know about the 4600, maybe even the 4800???

532620 2007-03-13 10:29:00 You don't want to be sticking with AMD if you want to overclock you want the low end coreduo 6300/6400 apsattv (7406)
532621 2007-03-13 10:33:00 I'm definitely givin it a think, i just wanna overclock the sh*t outta something. what would you reccomend? I'm lookin at spendin around the $550 for cpu and mobo hueybot3000 (3646)
532622 2007-03-13 10:50:00 I would give you about $100 for a system that has been overclocked.

I take it that this comes with a legal copy of the operating system and no other software?

I guess Metla is telling you what he thinks it is worth, not what you can sell it for. :lol: If you are not in a hurry just put a high reserve, say $600, and see what happens on Trademe. When the reserve is not met you can offer it to those who bid or had it on their Watch List, or start a new Trademe listing. If you are clever with the words you use advertising it someone just may pay top dollar. Or put a notice up in your local supermarket or other bulletin board and say you will set it up for them and provide free training (5 minutes maybe :rolleyes:) and free internet connection (1 month prepay $10 or so).
