If you're looking to sell, replace the Q-Tec PSU if i were you. They have a well known rep for blowing up & taking people's pc's with them (do a search here at Hexus )

As for price, depending on what the case looks like, I'd say around £450 ish, maybe more

Yeah I was gonna say £500 if you're lucky. You'd get less selling it here than on a general ad in a paper/mag. You may fare better on eBay, too. Be wary of any fixes and bodges in it though - if anything goes wrong, the new owner will be headhunting you, which is why I always sell components rather than whole PCs.

Your setup is very similar to a system I built 9 months ago. Same MB, 2.8 gig processor, TruPower 500 watt, same ram, an inexpensive video card, 128 mg MSI, nice case and 2 DVDs one of which is an 8x burner. I don't know if this will help but I purchased all parts from different vendors online after researching the best price and I think I've got about $1,100 in it. ( no monitor) If it were me I'd be sure to sell it locally if at all possible. Good luck.

also check out the option of selling the parts individually - sometimes the sum of the parts is greater than the sum of the whole.

or something

If you are selling on ebay, you will definitely get more money (and a higher rating )if you split all the parts up.

[cj2mrhat]

the monitor alone will make £100+ on ebay.

I'd sell all the parts separately as you'll make far more money. Don't bother selling the Q-tec psu - keep it for back up as you never know when it'll come in handy! Get a decent psu for your next system though.

Heres how I'd value your system and they are low estimates - personally I'd expect a bit more:

monitor £100
processor £75 (incl hs + fan)
motherboard £25-£30 - i don't know what features it has though
memory £65
hard drive £90-100 (double that if you have two)
graphics card £170

thats over £500 and if u have two of those maxtor hard drives it would over £600 by my reckoning. Make sure if you go the ebay route you use insured postage and you advertise each items as best as possible (pictures - what tests you've run on the items - for example a utility on the hard drive - memtest on the memory etc)

if you're selling your case + keyboard and mouse you'll make more but I don't know what they are so I can't value them

good luck!

if you want to check yourself for expected prices - do a search on items you are selling or those similar on ebay - you'll get an idea of how much you can expect for yours.

i would go seperate

Unless you can find a local buyer for that system, you will be better selling the parts for other upgraders/replacements for failed bits. Can't comment on the PSU quality - seems to have come in for a slating on the forum though!
