My old rig.

[syntaxtothe]

I'm thinking of getting rid of my old beauty.

She's been over clocked, and modded and just about anything you can think of. She has been kept in very good condition. Thing is times have changed, this beauty isn't quite the rage anymore, and with the new core 2 duos out, she has been left in the dark.

Reason I'm selling her is to get me a macbook, or something similar.

MY actual question is this: Anyone know or estimate how much she would cost nowadays???

I originally paid over 1.5 grand on her. Realistically I do understand that she's probably not worth near that anymore.

Her specs:

Intel Celeron @ 2.4ghz OC to 2.64 ghz can clock to 2.8 but is unstable after a few minutes.

2x 256 mb pc 3200 ddr ram,

1x 120gb WD caviar 7200rpm,

Viewsonic VE150b 15" LCD,

Logitech X-530's 140 Watt 5.1audio,

Microsoft optical blue mouse,

MIcrosoft multimedia keyboard,

Shuttle av49vn mobo,

pioneer 107d 4x DVD burner,

lg 52x cd burner,

X-dreamer II case,

Ati 7500 radeon pro All in wonder 64 mb AGP,

Dlink wireless card dwl 520+,

CMI 8738 5.1 audio sound card,

350-400 watt PSU (I don't remember exactly )

And no she isn't a mac. That's just a decal

Without the re-usable monitor, keyboard, mouse etc., its probably worth £200 to £300 now.

If you want a new computer you need to establish:
1) what will you use it for?
2) what is my budget?

Then start researching.

Good Luck

Well that's actually not that bad, that's about 700 Canadian dollars.

I'm a graphical and video enthusiast...
So I'm looking to a macbook due the fact that I enter university this year and I need portability, and also I would like to use Final Cut PRO.

I'll probably sell it and buy a different pc though, I prefer having a pc and a laptop.

Core 2 duo here I come ~!

For 700 bucks that shouldn't be unreasonable.

Now that I got that all figured out, anyone got any comments on this hillarious discovery I just made:

The difference between a homebuilt pc and a imac core 2 duo:

I was rather ticked when I found this out, I'll prolly just go for the pc. And ill use my former case...since I love my X-Dreamer II !
