Breaking a compooter - ideas of prices

[Pickers]

My sisters making room at home for my niece's bedroom, and the computer I built a few years ago is looking like it has to go. Bro-in-law is obviously intersted in selling it off, or wondering if/how much he can get for parts


MOBO: Foxconn NF4UK8 nForce 4 Ultra socket 939
CPU: AMD Winchester Athlon 3000+ (1.81 Ghz)
GFX: XFX GF 6600 128Mb
PSU: Enermax noisetaker 370W
MEMORY: generic ram 1.5 Gig - not sure how the sticks are arranged
MONITOR: LG Flatron 17" TFT (L1710B)

then there is a DVD re-write drive, 80Gig sata HDD and a floppy drive, Microsoft wireless desktop v2.0, belkin pci 802.11g wireless network card

Anyone got any ideas how much this could be worth, as a lump or separate?

Couldn't give an exact figure but I'd imagine very little tbh :(

I'd say you're looking £80-£100 all in at best.

You can get machines huge amounts faster for £200 - 250 new, so you won't get much for 2005 tech now.

£200 will buy you a current model Intel or AMD dual core with 4GB RAM.

Yeah £100 probably as a full system, maybe £150 because of the 17" TFT thrown in too.

Definitely better off trying to sell it as a whole, as someone might pay for a basic machine capable of simple tasks.

Breaking it wouldn't be worth the hassle as many of the components would be worth so little than postage charges would be prohibitive.
