What is this system worth?

[z0ne]

Hello,

Last week I Frankensteined a PC out of my pile of old hardware.
This is the build I came up with.

Q6600 CPU
650 TI GPU
500 Watt Antec PSU
4 GB DDR2 ECC RAM
Generic MoBo
Generic Case
2× 500 GB HDD
CD-writer

I thought it would serve someone quite well as a basic gaming rig.  

The GPU and HDD are relatively new, the HDD's came out of 2 year old laptops. and the GPU is about 2 years old.
The Antec is about 4 years old and the CPU and MoBO came out of an old office rig that I bought at an auction including the RAM, about 5 years back that has run for about 2 years in total. 

The PC is working fine and I have W7 OEM installed, what do you guys think its worth I was thinking in the range of about 200-250 euros (225-280 USD). 

Do you think I should ask more or less, or is it about right?

I'd say about 200 EU

What Antec exactly? Earthwatts is good. Basiq VP is crap.

[SuperShires]

If I personally saw that up for sale Id pay max £100 or $150 give or take what ever your currency is. But people less educated about computers could pay more.

[PlayStation 2]

prolly like 130 euros

depends on the state of the components, and finding the right custommer.

 

the right buyer may pay a bit extra for the ECC ram, others may not care at all.

 

generic mobo & case may be a very big turn down to some. you may be better off saying where you got it from.

example: i have a "generic HP case", but i could advertise it as an "100% toolless HP workstation grade case"

I already have a buyer who wanted a rig that could run minecraft and word etc. for his son, not advertising the rig on the webs

I'm not looking to scam or get more than It's worth, there's a guy who wants to buy a pc (read above) and pay as little as possible, instead of building him an all new rig I built this instead.

Unless that CPU supports ECC memory, it's not going to boot, and I don't think it supports ECC memory.

 

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But ya'know.

People value things differently and computers its difficult because someone (like the person youre selling it too) will only use it for Minecraft so it would be a great buy because its cheap and can handle it, whereas someone looking to run Crysis 3 would see it as a useless buy. So like I said its really down to what you think its worth, but most people would say about $150-$200 would be the sweet spot if it runs without any hiccups and its been looked after. Hope this helps

I was suprised as well, I wanted to put in 4 GB extra RAM when it posted "can't mix ECC with..." after checking I found out the memory already plugged in was ECC.

Allright I'll tell him 200 euros and let him talk a few bucks off.

Thanks all.

I think the CPU does, but there might be issues with the board's chipset not supporting it

Correct, there aren't many socket 775 "consumer" boards that do this, however this board is some sort of Dell extended ATX board that came out of a workstation.
