There's an easy way to figure this out - it's called "straight line depreciation".

To figure out what your system is worth this is what you have to do:

Take the value you paid for it, subtract the salvage value, and then divide by the life of the PC. And in the year you go to sell it to calculate the depreciation for that year you multiply by the month of the year you sell it (January = 1/12, February = 2/12, March = 3/12, etc).

Example: A $900 PC with a salvage value of $200 and a life of 1.5 years would depreciate something like this:

Year one: ($900 - $200)/2 = $350
$900 - $350 = $550

Year two if selling in April:
$350 * 4/12 = $116.67
$550 - $116.67 = $433.33

So by this the book value of your system is $433.33. If you sell it...

So by this the book value of your system is $433.33. If you sell it for over the book value, you sell the system as a gain on sale. If you sell it below the book value it's a loss on sale.
