I'm piece parting together a rig for my dad and I want to give him a "good deal" with another 10% discount on top of that...

Using the conditions above, I came up with the following prices based on current parts prices (when available) and using what I thought to be a fair market value for the rest...

Please comment on the parts that are under or overvalued on the list below... Thanks.

CPU AMD Athlon Palimino 1800+ $45
Motherboard Epox 8kHa+ $45
512MB Corsair PC2100 RAM (high end RAM in it's time) $20
Video Card Visiontek GeForce 3 Ti 500 $30
Network Interface Card $5
Liteon DVD Drive (read only) $10
Floppy w/ USB panel $15
PS Antec PP403X / 400W $15
CPU Fan/Heatsink PAL8045 $10
UPS APC Smart UPS 600 $15

Agree with this. Sure he didn't charge you rent when you were a child.

i have a similar rig, and i just parted it out for less than £100. it wasnt worth it......if a family member would of wanted it i would of just give em it. i would defo jus give it to your dad for free....unless he insists on paying you

i know i would give my dad free stuff, but my dad being my dad will use any excuse to help me out with money so he insists on paying. i love my dad :)

Sell the lot for $150 total. Maybe down to $125. It's family, but I wouldnt give it away. Just think what you would pay for a machine like that now(you probably wouldn't touch it unless it was damn near free).
