Thanks to Pob I've passed on my old i7 to my stepson. Accordingly his old rig is up for sale. How much do you think ?

Mini P180 White
Athlon II 640

damb you I'd consider buying that off you if I had the money.

As it is I'd say split it up.
If the case is in good nick with all the parts, then it's worth at least £50 on its own, it only left my personal list of top mATX cases because it went EOL so it's hard to get hold of and costs around £90 new, it's still a very good mATX case, although it's a bit large as mATX go, still great layout, good cable options, good features and great cooling.

You could then offer the motherboard+cpu+ram as a bundle £80-100ish

If you're serious, I can wait ?

a quck google shows the cpu@ £62 and board @ £40 s- thats £100 new (ram is silly cheap anyway)

[Phage]

So about £100 all up ?

[Pob255]

Well I looked and cpu was £75, motherboard around £55 (the LE version is about £40)and ram 1333mhz 4gb about £15, all from reputable places
So about £145 new, it's not really slow or greatly out of date which is why I'd say 50-66% inc p&p for 2nd hand would be worth it.
Weak link is the motherboard as it's am3 not am3+

[Phage]

I've got in up for sale at £100 all in. I think that's fair. The AM3 will take a 965 I think.

[Pob255]

Damb you, I really cannot afford or justify it, I'm trying to sell my old stuff not accumulate more.

[Phage]

Offer a discount ?
Your old box is greatly amusing the stepson BTW. Much turning the lights off to watch the PC.

Glade he likes it and I know what you mean, I really loved that thermaltake pattern fan behind the mesh front it looks great
I just wish it didn't cycle through the patterns quite so fast, but that's hard coded into the controller chip.

If you ever want to go down the modding route putting a window on that case would be a good move the large vent on the side does let a bit of dust it, I put a filter over the side fan and just taped over the rest of the vent had a big effect on the dust but cleaning out the front is a bit of a pig.

Thanks - I'll check the dust levels. His room isn't the tidiest !
