working parts from 2010

[zindan]

Hello, I showed my friend an old motherboard + ram + cpu that I had which still functions properly. He said it was worth a lot like its rare and stuff. I didn't believe him, is it true ? 

I think the motherboard is called: asus p5q delux
Ram I got 8gb, 2 of the following kits: XMS2 — 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 Memory Kit
Cpu is called: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 2.5Ghz

Here are some pictures + a video, what do you guys think ?

I'll give you 20$ for it, because that's all it's worth.

Unless the system you have as the prefix SGI or SUN, old parts are *by and large* not worth anything.

My purpose of this thread is not to sell it... Simply check if its really rare as he told me.

ah, the p5q, i personally sold off a p5b recently

 

it depends a bit on the market, here 775 boards like that still go for quite a bit, but at other places it goes for the about 20 bucks @Radium_Angel mentioned

 

edit: no, they're not that rare tbh, but some want them for c2q ocing

It's not. I wasn't trying to buy it, simply pointing out it isn't worth anything.

Now if you can get your friend to cough up big bucks, well, sell it to him and buy something modern.

Probably wacky enough to be worth something to collectors.

big collection value if you ask me

 

but for the first two items,

4GB DDR2 sticks are somewhat expensive for what they are, but 2GB sticks are cheap, dirt cheap.

Q8300 is part of the Core 2 Quad family, and all Core 2 Quads are cheap. Core 2 Extreme is what carries collector value, and even then it's not a lot.

How much could I get for all of it ?

the two boards and CPU and RAM? I'd pay $80, $50 for the Rampage Extreme alone which is 99% for emotional reasons..

All DDR1/DDR2 kit has no value except what you can eBay it for, which is to say, very little.

 

There are specific parts when sold separately that are worth more than selling a bundle, because typically people after old parts are building/repairing something specific, so they need the specific part, and not the other stuff bundled.

 

Pretty much, there is some value in pre PCIe kit, because of people who want to build an old Win98 or DOS machine to run their DOS games, but we're talking about, LAPC-I music cards, ISA Sound Blaster 16, Gravis Ultrasound,  3DFX Voodoo2, S3 Virge, and some rare cards like Reelmagic MPEG Video cards/MPEG-2 cards. They only have value because of one or two specific games designed to work with those pieces of hardware, that are the otherwise superior version to the normal version. The LAPC-I/MT-32 being an exception where there's a large number of early 90's games that were designed to work with that before General Midi.

 

Anything after that (basically anything that can run WinXP) has no special utility, as the hardware is too slow to run current browsers due to lack of hardware acceleration paths, and newer hardware on Win10 can run most things going back to Win95 as long as it doesn't need full-screen 256 color mode, hardware MIDI, or hardware mpeg. Hence "little or no value" except to someone building a WinXP machine.
