just about to do a major upgrade the system i want to sell is comprised of

athlon xp2000+ never oc'd
512mb pc2700
gigabyte ga7vaxp mobo modded northbridge sink
24x cdburner
volcano 11+ hsf
gf4mx440 leadtek a180
generic midi tower case
350w psu
gigabit nic
+ an additional gfmx440 leadtek a170 modded thermaltake hsf

wondering whether this could fetch around the $300 mark AS AN ENTIRE SYSTEM without a hdd

i know i posted this before ages ago but i forgot what everyone said.... + i deleted the other post

your empytness compells me =(

You shot who in the what now?

dude you'd be able to get more than $300 for that whole thing I woulda thought

Change the thread title or trog'll nuke it.

cash converters could make $1k out of that system

i reckon you should get 4-5 hundred easy

the ram will help, as will the relativley newish cpu

i'll give you $250 for it.

for the upgrade to be feesible id need enough cash from the sale of this to go out and buy a new video card, and yeah id like around $350 - $400 for a new video card

is it just me or does everyone find it quite pathetic that 12 months ago when this system was pretty much brand new it was worth about $2000 give or take (with my hdd collection case psu etc etc etc) and now it can barely scratch together a sixth of that

It was a cheapish video card even back then though wasn't it?

yeah the video card was i think $130 or $140 when i bought it but hey i dont have a great memory for prices

The idea is that you link to the thread on Sold.

actually, 12months ago, it may have been new, but not nessessarily top end. since xp2000+'s have been around for ages now

yeah thanks for the linkage dais and yeah i know it wasnt that new then either but eh....

athlon xp2000+ never oc'd

you'd be pretty gullible to believe that, even if it was true



$300 for the lot, and only if it was all still under warranty from a good 'puter shop with original reciepts.



it's hardly a decent gaming system anymore dude

actually, 12months ago, it may have been new, but not nessessarily top end. since xp2000+'s have been around for ages now

try using that 3yr cpu warranty. it isn't worth the paper it's printed on

that's just my opinion...

the bit i dont get about ur post koopz was the athlon xp2000+ never overclocked comment......

but yeah anyway all components were from umart the cpu is 'under warranty' but the mobo warranty ran out a while back

i never really considered it as a gaming system, moreso a file server, it runs an ibm scsi card quite nicely but i dont have that in the system anymore, and also can have up to 8 hdd's through 4 ata ide channels, so yeah.....?

I have an Athlon XP 2000 and I've never overclocked mine either.

I don't really see the point, if I wanted one faster I'd buy a faster one.

That said I can see the point of overclocking but I'm guessing your average computer user doesn't overclock, I once overclocked my P3 733 and ever since I haven't bothered.

yeah, normally it's not worth it, but when u get a 2.4ghz to 3.0ghz, it's worth it, especially for what it does for encoding times.

my opinion is use it as a server and buy a new rig...

but wait for pci-e and sli FOR TEH WINZ0R!~!!!!!~!!@@!!111!
