500gb Seagate Barracuda
600 Watt PSU Coolermaster

$350-$400 if you are lucky. Realistically $300-350. Not a bad computer but not really powerful either. My opinion anyway. You could build it new for close to $500 even with a 1440 x 900 monitor.

Some where in the $300 range. When you start going above that, people start looking at building it themselves. Obviously not everyone, just generally speaking.

You could probably get more by selling the monitor separately also.

I could get maybe 500 for it. I don't think it's stupid people who would buy it but remember not everyone can build a computer..

@joel: $500 would actually be reasonable. You gotta realize, your labor of assembling this thing counts for something. Lot of name brand computers start at $600 or even more just to have a low end dedicated graphics card in them. Not everyone can build a computer. Now can't be any more than $500 I don't think, mainly because this desktop won't have a warranty like a name brand assembly.

I think anybody from 10+ who is not disabled can learn to build a computer in a week

Proving exactly why your labor is partially a factor. Some people either don't want to bother learning, don't have time or patience to learn, don't want to take the time assembling it, or worse, find getting the hang of actually using a computer a headache enough.
