Price Check

[Merlin4458]

My flat mates wants to buy my rig off me cause he cant be assed to build his own.
Basically what you recon its worth? Im going to have to buy a better rig with what i sell it to him for.

So jsut trying to see if its worth it

Cheers all

£350 as a job lot?

[staffsMike]

sounds about right..probably squeeze to £400

[Merlin4458]

ok, the only problem is. I speced a rig for him : http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.php?t=106504

and this is prob better than mine...

Oh and i will be keeping my monitor, so jsut the base unit, no mouse or anything

[arbitor]

i had simalar pc to you john, and it was better in key areas, and i got 350 so i think thats about right, 400 would command a something extra i think

[Colossous]

Sorry, i would'nt expect that to go over £275 base unit only !!

[staffsMike]

£400 was for someone who didnt know there ****hole from their earhole

i wouldn't pay £250 for it..

Amd 64 3700+ San Diego £25
Abit AT8 £30
4x512 Corsair XMS3200C2PRO £60
PowerColour X850XTPE Arctic Cooled don't know
Samsung Spinpoint 250Gig £30
Enermax NoiseTake 485w £30
Arctic Freezer 64 Pro £7.50
Coolermaster Wavemaster £30

That adds up to over £200 and then add the price of the graphics card.

IMO worth around £250

Bit much for second hand 2GB of slow ram isn't ?

1GB (2x512MB) is going for around £30 so reasonable price IMO.

Were you thinking of buying the RAM from Merlin

I was comparing it to about £80 for 2GB of new PC6400.

How is that RAM slow ?

It's DDR1 btw

you know what I mean.

2GB of DDR2 800Mhz for £80 v 2GB of DDR1 for £60

I know which I'd choose!

[Blitzen]

If base unit only then £230-£250

... 2GB DDR1 ?

But yeah, as others say, roughly 250/300 for base only.

Maybe OC the 3700 a bit (if it's not already) to squeeze some more money off him ?

It is fairly decent DDR memory as it is Corsair XMS which was NOT cheap at the time.Even Scan are selling 2x512mb modules for nearly 80 quid:

Even for ddr3200 expect to pay a bit more for decent sticks!!

Also ddr3200 is NOT that slow as DDR2 has higher latency anyway and this negates the speed advantage to a degree!!
