    Thinking of Upgrading/Price Check

    Right, today I was cleaning the house and thought to myself [what a wonderful world] that my current rig (specs below) is overpowered by a mile for what I use it for, downloading and playing mp3s, and that I may as well see what kind of price I could get for it these days (wont be much I know) and use that money to grab a cheap small box.

    I used to do quite a bit of Video and Audio editing on this thing but since I got a Dell Precision M65 I simply havent used it as much.

    Here are the specs I would be selling it as

    2x Opteron 240's with Volcano coolers that glow blue (it currently has 2x244's in but will swap them with a friend as a favour)
    MSI K8D Master-F (940, 6 DDR, ATI, 2xpci buses, etc..)
    2gb ECC Registered DDR
    Antec Titan Server Case
    550 Watt Power Supply (Antec I think, def name brand) 24pin
    LSI U320 PCI-X or Compaq U160 Raid (64mb Cache) + U329 Rated round cable
    Floppy/Card Reader (the Mitsumi one)
    No HDD or CD

    So my first thing is how much do you guys think I could fetch for this kit?

    I was thinking about changing to a mATX setup, prob intel dual core (Pentium D most likely) with 2gb Ram. Going to keep my 15k scsi for boot as I like the speed.

    At a VERY rough guess I'd say about £500 (probably more)
    With love and many thanks,

    Really, thats much more than I thought. I suppose the target market is important too, this thing could run a small business but most small businesses wouldnt buy second hand for example.

    I would be happy it I got enought to buy a cheap dual core machine with 1gb ram and a decent gfx card.

    Might put it in Hexus Classifieds next week and see if I get any interest in a trade.
