Honestly, the motherboard's worth more than everything else combined, and that's just because X58 motherboards are absurdly expensive because of the popularity of the 5650 (I think?!). I'd part it out. Worth more like that than it is together imo.

Does the i7-920 have a iGPU?

 

Yeah thats what I was thinking. ebay alone even a plain vanilla p6t is $175 at a min, but $225+ on average.

These are the prices I attached, looking at ebay for each piece.

arbitrary # $125 - ASUS P6T (1366 and X58)

actual used price $45 - 16GB DDR3 PC-12800 (1600MHz) Mushkin

actual used price $40 - 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 7200.ST3500418AS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache 3.5" HDD x2

actual used price $50 - i7-920

actual used price $45 - CX-500 PSU (Tier4)

arbitrary # $15 - W7 Pro

Plus the ATX case $15

I total around $355cdn. So at $225 its a good deal, seeing as how most other complete PC's like Dell and HP, like Optiplex etc is going for the same price. But cant OC with them.

Is that 16GB of RAM, or 6? X58 used triple channel RAM, so 16 would be an odd number to end up at.

 

You'll have a hard time selling that 920. People typically buy X58 boards for Xeons. There's really nothing amazing about the i7-920 at this point.  I think you're overvaluing the HD and PSU. Windows 7 doesn't really add any firm number to the price. I'd consider that more of an "I've got to make money on this" markup.

 

Still, if you're the patient sort, yeah, there are far worse systems to part and flip. You'd be amazed how much a $15 Optiplex can be sold for if you put $40 more into new hardware and clean the damn thing.

Well if I buy this computer, then that was the plan, to put in a Xeon X56?? of some sorts maybe a 72, they are cheap.

Yes the ad says 16GB, but I can match that ram pretty easy I assume. I will have to confirm that is ECC ram, specs dont say either way.

 

The only thing I'd part with to recoup the money spent is the i7-920, CX500 and the case. Hopefully get $50cdn at a minimum. I think that PSU would be easy to sell, maybe not the i7. For the PSU, new they are $80cdn, newegg had a refurbished one for $50cdn. I'd like to get my cost down to under $200cdn for the machine. Then with a $100 X56-70/72/77/87 It would be a pretty cool machine. Especially with a 3.2 or 3.5GHz Xeon processor.

I scored this computer for $200cdn which is about $150usd.

The ad he wanted ~$250, but I just asked him what he wanted for it, knowing full well what his ad said.
