Ok thats both Computers, i went into Device Manager to get most of the names and what have you, so can anyone give a rough Estimate on how much each computer could sell for.

Ive had both Computers for under 2 Years, the Main Computer is built with new Parts, and the Secondary is built with Second Hand stuff.

When i eventually sell both Computers i'm looking to combine both Prices and buy one big machine, with all the latest

 

[FuZor]

£250- £300 for first MAIN

£150-£200 for sec

This is only what I would pay though

 

[FuZor]

btw Your Main's HD is tiny!!! When u get nu PC make sure its got loads more space!!!

 

[Trem]

I'll give ya £200 for the first one Zao, let me know, i kinda dont need the cdr though so £200 ain't bad erm is there a monitor with it?

 

[S-Gray]

i'll advertise the main one for £450 and the other one for £350... i paid a shitload for the Main Computer less than 2 month ago (About £500 for Sound / Graphics / Mobo / CPU) so i need to make sure i get at least a bit of money back.

Lol, just bought a new 17" monitor, and theres no way im sellin that

 

[Trem]

No monitor!!!11 jeez i'll give ya £37 for it then.But really mate, advertise it and you should do ok, alas most people who wanted a pc have got one now.Good luck.

 

[S-Gray]

Now im after a Mobo, i want a few things on it, so could you guys tell me a make of a mobo that has this stuff:

Raid
Socket A
Supports DDR Memory
Supports upto 2gb of DDR Memory
Doesnt have any conflicts (With Hardware above)
Has 2+ USB Ports
Pretty Cheap (Under £150 if poss)
Not large

And other stuff i cant think of at the mo.

 

[FuZor]

Looks Good, almost the same spec as mine!!! PArt from meh's has got 100GB total and 512 DDR. Coupled with an XP11600

 

[old.GateKeeper]

The best mobo ATM is the ABIT KR7A-133Raid (There are 4 versions of the KR7A so make sure U get the right one) its aobut 130 inc from various places.

If I was you i would swap the SB for a Sonic Fury but its really your choice

GK

 

[S-Gray]

Well all thats just a layout, with the Price and Hardware, because it may take up to 2months to sell my Computer, by that time new hardware will be out and/or the prices will have dropped on the hardware listed above.

[S-Gray]

Could i just ask why some of you guys need such big hard drives (2 of em), i find it confusing in some cases

Interesting post this, as I have a pc fairly similar to this, only with a GF4 ti 4400 and an LG flatscreen monitor. Do you plan to build this yourself? I only ask cos I bought mine ready made from evesham for only a couple of hundred quid more, and its obviously guaranteed and all that stuff you know .

 

[old.Devilfish2k2]

This is what I plan to make myself, all parts obtained from local computer fairs, apart from hub and nic, which I got from another source.

/edit. Oh yeah ADSL Modem from Dabs.com

 

[S-Gray]

Right lol, just put both comps in the loot (Website), Big Computer is offered at £500, and the 2nd is offered at £350.

i'll prob get £300 for the Second one and around mmm £500 for the main one (unless its close to the Price)..

So hopefully i will get a buyer within a few weeks...

 

[old.Kez]

You PC games players are disgusting, I still happily run dual 400's. Even the thought of spending such money on a PC so you could play games (or anything, for that matter) is retch-inducing. Ugh.

 

[throdgrain]

Dont be such a misarable get
