Post subject:  um, opinions please

I'm thinking of flogging one of my spare PCs on fleabay, but I would like opinions from you chaps on what kind of price to ask for.

Specs.
E7200 CPU inc ACF7Pro
2gigs PC2-8500 Dominator RAM
8400GS Graphics card
Abit IP35-E Motherboard
500GB Spinpoint F1
Optiarc DVDWR
Antec P182
Enermax 375W PSU
Asus 19" Widescreen TFT (VGA input)
Generic wired optical mouse and keyboard.

So, what do you think?

Cheers

Spreadie

General advice is to sell it as parts rather than a whole unit, thus avoiding competing with the knob jockeys that will sell you a "12Gb processor" which is actually just a quad core 3.0Gb one.

flog the p182 on its own (probably worth more that way), buy a nice-looking cheap case and get it all set up.

RAM is very expensive atm too, might be worth thinking about selling that high-performance kit on its bill and replacing it with some slower, cheaper generic stuff, you should be able to get a bit more cash like that :)

A pet hate of mine. I thought ebay were supposed to be clamping down on obvious false descriptions?

Although, I like the idea that my CPU is running at 16GHz. :D

Thanks for the good advice.
