I would check flea-bay, your local paper, etc

The problem with Anandtechers is that they know about the Dell, Staples, and other crazy deals. You also have the PC builder crowd.
I would definetly list whether or not its the Pent IV 1.8A or reg verison. You should state its fully license XP pro or not, that would sweeten the deal for some. State the if the 3 year warranty is transferrable.

I said im selling it to my ROOMATE who knows nothing about computers???? I could say i have a bad ass geforce in there and put in a mx but i wont. What seems reasonable for this computer. Im not gonna say $1500 but anything is possible

To your roomie 600+(without monitor)anyone on this board.........300

Your parts with current price its going for in FS/FT:

P4 1.8 ghz ($100) (if its not a 1.8A knock off $20)
Geforce3 ($70)
40gb WD internal 7200rpm ($60)
120gb external Martor usb 2.0 hd ($120)
256mb RDRAM ($100)
DVD-rom ($25)
Cendyne(Lite-on) 24x cdrw ($25)
SB Live ($10)
Network and modem card. ($10)
Winxp pro ($100)

Total = $620, I wouldnt pay anything more than that for your rig, plus you can tweak the cmos at all!

I'd also say around $600 is a fair price (the Maxtor and XPPro shines there); I myself never sell my older parts, since can't stand how little they are worth after a year or so

[edit:] Although...you could probly get a good $850 from your roommy! Is that wrong? I think not since you'll be the one fixing it if anything happens!!!!!!

Sorry my bad , if he is close friend then I would sell under the current market price of used computers compared to the paper listings or fleabay, like a 50 to 75 dollars discount. So you can show him he is getting a good deal.

You should give it to him for $400 or $500, depending on how good a friend he is.

i hate him

 

[FFactory0x]

how about 1000 with monitor. I could prolly get a nice rig then for that price. You think?

 

[Maelsturm]

so you're gonna sell your computer to your roomie then use the money he gives you to buy a better computer?

If you hate him, ask a grand. If you like him, ask $600.
