I got 3 home built computers, I had 2 for a while, a main one and a backup. The main one died and while using the backup I bought a few new parts and then had a issue with the ASUS motherboard so I sent it back and in my hurry I bought another one and with all the extra parts I now have 3.
I'm trying to sell one with the following and wonder what it's worth approx..

Motherboard ASUS P8Z77-V Pro
CPU i5 2500K sandybridge
Heatsink Zalman CNPS9900MAX (a very good heatsink by the way)
Powersupply Seasonic 750W Gold (don't have the exact numbers but this is what it is. Has seen about 20 hours use.
16GB Memory
Not sure about what the Harddrive sizes are, there should be some 1 or 1.5tb drives in it and maybe a 750GB one also. I have a 60gb SSD laying around but if it's in this one of the other one I'm not sure but it could go with this one. No big deal.
Depending on price offered I have 2 different video cards, a ASUS 6970 and a ASUS 6870. I need to sell one of these, the other one is a AMD setup with the 6 Core Black 1090 (I think) but I also have a spare ASUS sabertooth that can run the new FX line and I have a Bulldozer cpu laying around but I'd just as soon get their newer one than switch out motherboards as the Bulldozer just isn't that good a cpu to go though the trouble. It's a pretty good computer just the same as I used it while I was putting my I7 system together which I'm using now for my main system.
I wish I trusted EBAY or paypal as I could probably find a buyer. I think asking 500 for the I5 system even with the 8970 would be a good deal or add 50.00 more for the 6970 video card but then again could I get more or less I don't really know. There is very little use on the I5 system and it's packed with high quality parts.
If anyone knows anyone that needs a system that lives in the Washington state area of the U.S. let them know about it maybe.
I just need the money to get my timing belt replaced in my car.
And who needs 3 computers with almost enough parts to build a 4th.

If anyone does show any interest there must be a way to continue this but I'm never sure how except checking reply notice to my email though I have a yahoo one that I never check. Oh well, lets see what happenes and at the least I can find a good asking price for these.

Just list it on Kijiji, under your local county. Used computer really are not worth very much and too big to ship around. And most buyers of used PC's are going to want actually see it and talk to you.

However, as Asus Pro board, 2500K, ect... you should be able to get several hundred for that. Be sure to securely delete that HD and then do a OS reinstall.
