Purchase Question

[shamoo]

I am trying to get an idea on the value of a computer
1.8ghz p4 northwood 400mhz fsb sckt 478
a abit th7II motherboard
52x CD Drive
fx5700LE geforce
antec case psu and fan
linksys nic
4 128 mb rambus ram 800
any ideas on the value after a few years of service.

about $300 give or take

No more than $50 because of the high cost of upgrading any component. RDRAM never caught on; it would cost at least $400 just to upgrade the RAM to 1GB. It uses AGP graphics, which has been superseded by PCIExpress, it doesn't support even the 533MHz socket 478 CPUs, it can't read or write DVDs, and the PS is almost certainly unsuitable for any modern PC.

 

[Assman]

lol, you're right

 

[cutthroat]

Give it away to a friend, relative (someone who just wants to surf the internet). The karma is worth more.

Funny that we'll be valuing quad-core systems the same in a few years...
What about my PC (detailed in my signature)? :?

about $300 give or take

Anyone who would pay $300 for that should be shot

I would say about $100 at most.

 

[alcattle]

PseudoPeon, you actually have some usable Parts, You could get $300 but it is worth more to you as the backup/web machine.

 

[pseudopeon]

Yeah, I wouldn't sell it, it's kinda my baby :lol:
[Pats case affectionately]

 

[proof]

$600-$700

 

[pseudopeon]

...is that for the one at the top of the thread? :lol:

 

[proof]

Yes.

 

[pseudopeon]

Erm... okay, why? :?

 

[proof]

because that is what it is worth now.

 

[hashbrown]

my friend sold his socket 478 P4 2.4 with a FX5700 and 256mb ram for $50. so yeah, I doubt yours would even go for that much.

 

[jeff_2087]

because that is what it is worth now.

:lol: to who? Maybe if that's a $520 Linksys NIC.

 

[pseudopeon]

$600-$700

I'm confused :?
Is this with an extra '0' on each number?

 

[proof]

Maybe I did overprice that...

 

[hashbrown]

lol, just a little bit i think.

 

[pseudopeon]

Poor shamoo was choking on all that money then!

 

[proof]

Hahahahah!

Well the machine seams to always thing the cpu is at 80 degrees C and there is no hard drive. I has a 52x burner and an abit mobo but the stock intel cooler is crap the thermal pad looks kinda missing or something of the sort theres a fine black powder were the pad / geese should be and a geforce fx5700LE
so thats what im wondering its a friends and I'm thinking of buying it from him.

 

[jeff_2087]

In all honesty I wouldn't pay more than $5 for it. And the only reason I'd pay $5 is because with a plate of glass on top it'd make a decent coffee table.

$50? I think it'll cost you $50 to get rid of it after couple months of use. Better off donating it and get some tax credit while it is still working (that is if you are in the US).

 

[proof]

Hahahah!
