    Price Check - Mid Range Computer

    Hi, I'm not certain about selling this yet but I think having this an M1330 Laptop and a PS3 is a little excessive so one of them may have to go. Just wondered how much I could ask for this as a whole:

    Antec P182 Quiet Case
    Corsair HX620 Watt PSU
    Intel Quad Core Q6600 G0 SLACR? With Scythe Ninja Heatsink (Passive)
    8800GT 512mb BFG OC With Passive Thermalright Cooler (Big One)
    2GB Crucial Ballistix PC8500 1066mhz
    500GB Samsung Hard Drive
    IP35 Pro
    DVD+RW
    Abit Air Pace Wi-Fi PCI-E
    Audigy 2
    2 x Yate Loon 120mm Fans

    Logitech Z-10 Speakers
    Dell 24" W2408WFP TFT
    Logitech DiNovo Laser Desktop

    Would anyone have any ideas of a price as a whole? I would probably be keeping the last three things but if there price was right I may be swayed!
    It was built for complete silence and most of the fans are undervolted to 5 or 7 volts, the HD is suspended also, would this add to price knowing that it was very quiet?

    And maybe the price of a 40GB PS3 with GTA IV?

    Thanks.

    You'd probably get around £350 - £400 on eBay without selling the last 3 items.

    £400.. thats a bit harsh.

    P182 ~ £65
    Corsair ~ £65
    Q6600 ~ £90 Ninja ~£20 (with the original fan)
    8800GT ~£90 with the cooler
    RAM ~£30
    HDD ~ £35
    IP-35 PRO ~£65
    DVD ~£10
    Air Pace ~£5
    Audigy 2 - ?
    2x YL fans ~£5

    Rounding up a little I'd say about £500, given that I'm sure it runs almost completly silent and very cool I'm sure someone might even part with a little more.

    £40 for the speakers, £300 - £350 the for the 2408 assuming it's got most of the warranty in tact.

    Too generous Mike.
    The case, GPU and PSU are never worth what you think second hand.

    I agree with the first fella that answered.......£400 absolute maximum.

    Re: Price Check - Mid Range Computer

    Assuming it's all fairly new, and it sounds like it is I think I was being fair.. perhaps a little generous, you might be right.

    If it's all got transferable warranties I would probably pay that.

    The corsair prices at the 520W's new price, someone may take the 620W out of piece of mind. Although the P182 is £75 this week on ebuyer it's often more like £90 so pricing it at the Cm-690's level would tempt me.

    The 8800GT with that cooler would easily be £100+ and given that it can be run passive, I think people would pay for it

    It's a very well rounded and well thought out system and priced around £500 I would hope it would hope someone would take it off your hands.

    Just couldn't see people buying second hand gear at more than it would cost to buy new. Oh hang on, it's ebay. Anything could happen.

    Re: Price Check - Mid Range Computer

    Second hand, I'd probably pay £400 myself, as most items do not give double-lifetime warranties, (2 owners).

    I'd much rather spend the extra just for peace of mind. Saying that, you could sell it as a high- end gaming rig (as it will play Crysis easy enough) so someone will probably pick it off ebay for a reasonable price for you.

    TBH tho, PS3 sucks, sell that get a 360, and keep the lot

    The chap hasn't sold it though. lol massive price drops.

    You WILL make more money breaking it up and selling seperatly. PC's always go cheap when all together.
