I am downsizing my living space and can no longer lug around my full tower gaming PC so I've opted to replace it with a laptop and do away with the gaming while I focus on my studies.

A friend built this computer for me, I understand the case is older than the rest of the components but it's super sturdy and high quality.

Could you give me an idea of what I might ask for/get if I sell this on Craigslist?

Much appreciated.. here are the full specs:

Here's how you calculate system depreciation:

Take what you paid for the rig, subtract the salvage value (if there is any), divide it by the life of the rig, and multiply by the month of sale.

For instance your rig is worth $1500, there's a salvage value of $150, you've had it for three years and you're selling it in June.

(($1500 - $150)/3) * (6/12)) = $675

$1500 - $675 = $825

So with that formula you can expect your system to sell for $825.
