    I'd take the audigy for £33 inc, if it were to be posted in the for sale forums so as not to break rules

    you can get a 3500+ venice for about 175

    a 6800gt you can get for £240 brand new in some places

    the Wavemaster black you can get for £113 brand new


    so tbh you are being pretty optimistic (sorry!)

    I bought a K8N Neo2 for £40 a fortnight ago & there is a bloke struggling to sell 1 at £55 at the moment.
    Audigy ZS £40 sounds reasonable if retail but too dear if OEM
    6800GT £200
    Tagan £45
    You can get a new silver Wavemaster for £76 (yes it's not black & it doesn't have Stealth fans but you are appealing to that market that wants things cheaper than retail & they would probably rather save £40)
    New 74Gb Raptor is £120 so £85-90

    MSI P55-GD80, i5 750
    abit A-S78H, Phenom 9750,

    My HEXUS.trust abit forums

    I got a XFX 6800GT for 230, brand new. Might be worth knocking it down to £200
