How much power do you want. 350 is more than enough.

449962 2006-04-27 12:15:00 I don't know about $1000 NZ. Do you depreciate the computer value for its life time used? Sorry this is kinda Accounting thing. I don't think it'll worth $1000. It also depending how much is your files and software worth e.g. games, adobe photoshop and etc. MTLance (6768)

You may be right. But as I am (luckily) not in need of selling it to pay for new one, I won't be giving it away either.
Ram $700 four months ago. Video Card $600+ three months ago, and new prices still about the same. What are they worth second hand?

449964 2006-04-27 20:47:00 Jack - I'd say you could get over $1000 for it - but it's about finding a willing buyer.

Given the age and specs of the parts, there is no reason for the price to be too heavily depreciated at this point in time. (In particular, as you say, lots of RAM and graphics card etc.)

449965 2006-04-27 21:37:00 I thinks it's worth over 1000, but 1000, more or less, is probably a realistic expectation. Remember to state clearly that it's 100% up and ready to go. And try Trade & Exchange (http://www.te.co.nz) as well - I got a lot of interest in a system from advertising there, and no commission fee.

Also I agree that your 350w PSU is definitly adequate.

Hard drive?
You should specify brands of all the bits too, and the model of the MB.

As to what you paid x months ago - its not really the point. PC bits devalue faster than the speed of light. Check out what similar systems have sold for on TM and estimate around about that price.

Note, what they SOLD for, the closed auctions, not ones were people may be still trying...
