You won't get 500 for this, maybe like $400. I think you need to learn the rules, NO PRICE CHECKS PLEASE!

512 MB PC2700 (Kingston) - $40 (any brand name)
Western Digital 60 gig hdd (caviar) - $54 (for 80 gig version)
52X CD-RW (not sure what brand) - $30 (sony)
Aspire X-Gear Case (dented in few spots) - $50 (you can get aspire case with PSU for $50)

Total: $463. These do not include shipping. However, you cant sell a used system for the price of brand new components. So I'd be looking at $400 or less. Plus this Guy is selling this system for $500:

P4 Prescott 3.4ghz, 925x, 1 Gig PC4300 533mhz 4-4-4-11, Asus 6600gt Oc's to 550/1200, Maxtor Diamond Max 9 80 gig HDD, NEC-3500 DVD-RW! + 2nd 48x CD-RW, Gigabit ethernet) - so I dont see how yours is worth $500.

What are you planning to sell this system for though? As an easy upgrade you can:

1) overclock P4 2.8 to 3.5ghz
2) change the videocard to 6600GT or 6800NU (and try to unlock the pipes)
3) get more 512mb of ram (pc2700 shoulndt hinder P4 too much - plus it might overclock to pc3200 speeds)
