Some points I think might be useful:

- Its worth more at normal CPU speed.

- You should tell people that it has been overclocked. I would be pissed if someone sold me an ex OC'd PC and didnt tell me.

- You cant sell it on the basis of it 'being' a 933.

- What OS are you using? Win2k is far more valuable than Win98 for example. Are you actually going to include an OS on the HD?

- Any software coming with it?

I think you would be lucky to get $700 for it. I don't know what your monitor is worth but I am sure I can build a similar system for ~$500 without the monitor.

DAMN 700-900?? That blows

Well no on the os coming with it. Also should I post it as a 700 and in small letters saying the overclockable capabilities>>>???

Yes, downclock it to 700 first.

Tell people that it can reach 933, that might be a plus for some, yet might be a bad thing for others. Some people might not want one that has been overclocked.

Just think of it this way.

What to people who are looking for a PC want? Most people wouldnt even have the faintest idea what were talking about on AT (normal user). If you mention overclock to them, they'll probably run a mile! Then again, if people DO want to overclock, then you can tell them it goes up to 933 :)

Just try amd make it more appealing and think about what you would want if you bought a PC.

To be honest, a PC with no OS is 1

1) expensive, you have to go and buy an OS if you dont have one

2) time consuming / hassling. you have to install the OS (many people wouldnt even be able to do this, so you are narrowing down the amount of people who would want to buy your PC..


Need more help just shout here or PM me :)
