Trying to sell the following:

E2200 2.0 GHZ
Gigabyte MOBO
2X2GB DDR2 Corsair RAM
500 WATT CoolMax PSU

I think all that is worth $100-$120

I was looking at this case:
http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5520044&CatId=32

Only $50, and im 90% certain ima buy it unless anyone has any complaints.

So Should i buy the case and a DVD drive and sell the computer as a whole and let the buyer get a HDD.

OR Put a cheap HDD in it and put Unbunto (linux) or Windows Vista Trial on it, or no OS at all?

Or Parts?

How much would it be worth with a HDD and Linux? $220? $220 for a Dual Core ready to go desktop doesnt sound bad.

I think you'd easily get that much for it. You should either go all the way and finish it or sell it semi in parts.

I got about $100 for a P4 2.8 system with win7 installed.

I'd sell the CPU and mobo together on ebay (there's a section for this). I think you'd easily get $100 just for that, and easily $50 for the RAM on ebay.

I don't think anyone would buy a second-hand PSU. (or at least I've never bought and sold PSU's used, if I have an extra I end up using it in something)
