Geez... that's a lot... it was about a $2000 computer in 2010 and I've added some stuff onto it since then as you will see. Thanks!

I'm not doing all that clikcing to find out what ya got :) .... next times names please

Rule of Thumb - Take your build cost and then subtract 10% .... then 5% for each month of age for 6 months (60% value at this point) ... then 10% for every 6 months thereafter.

So $2,000 - $200 (10%) - $600 (6 x 5%) - $1,000 (5 x 10%) = $200

Only a new car depreciates worse than computer hardware. Unlike a car though, your typical performance PC will become obsolete in 3-5 years.

Why are you looking to get rid of it? Is it too big, too dated? Are you moving away from PC gaming or is this to free up funds for a new build?

Either way I can't help because I'm across the pond but others may be able to assist.

I'm looking to get rid of it because it's so large... I'll be going off to college soon, and I need a smaller set up that won't be so complicated. But maybe it's not worth selling at all if some people are saying it's worth only $200-450 :(

What is the best way to sell it all in your view? Amazon? Ebay? A friend?
