There are more than just these, these are just a color representation

700 bucks. The paint job isn't for everyone.

Your kidding right

Ehm you never know. Someone will love all-blue......

 

Not many people though

[Sarcasm]

Your kidding right

Which part? And this also begs the question, why does a self-proclaimed AMD Lover have an Intel/nVidia build?

[Maskot]

My computer's worth more to resell.

[bacosta1993]

Depends on where you are selling. I would say $800 at most. If someone is buying a used PC they usually do not want to spend much, unless it has an apple logo on it.

[Bluethulhu]

Your kidding right

I personally like it, but it's not to everyone's liking. Some people like all-red systems, blue, green, white, etc. It's all a matter of opinion. However, most people wouldn't pay top dollar for it, maybe a little extra.

[TheSLSAMG]

Your kidding right

The machine is worth about $1200 in parts. Seeing as you painted the motherboard, that loses value. Not many people are going to buy into an older platform. All of the components have some level of wear. Just because you sleeved the cables and painted the thermal armor doesn't mean it will be worth more. In fact, since you have changed so much to a specific style mindset, it will be worth less than it would have been standard. Also, the blue/white/grey scheme doesn't work with the tan mainboard slots. One more thing. Most of the warranties here have either been invalidated or are not transferrable. I would say around $800-$900.

 

Also, a self-proclaimed AMD lover with an Intel-Nvidia rig? I find this extremely funny.

I get that all the time and this is my only Intel/Nvidia build

[IdeaStormer]

I like it but don't necessarily like how it was painted.

 

Best to keep parts in original state if you want the best return in reselling it.

I agree with Sarcasm. The machine is worth about $1200 in parts. Seeing as you painted the motherboard, that loses value. Not many people are going to buy into an older platform.

Actually the mobo is still in warranty, i just sent my other one that failed back, ill i had to do was take the armour off 

[TheSLSAMG]

Yes, but it stands that the armor is not what it used to be.

[AMD Lover]

Kinda a bummer, i spend around $1900 in it :-(

 

Edit: monitors included in price

The motherboard is under warranty while YOU own it. Unless it's an XFX product, you can't have warranty change hands.

Welcome to a little term we call "depreciation"

[AMD Lover]

[Adaraas]

You go ahead and do that, report back findings in one year.

[piplupgao]

lol

[Slaeowulf]

I'd say around £700/$1200-1300.

[JORDANonPC]

I'd say around £700/$1200-1300.

in electronics £700 doesn't equal $1200 since electronics in america are generally cheaper by a fair bit 

 

To the OP I think probably $800 just like the others and personally I think you'll be lucky to find someone who likes what you've done to that motherboard

[Slaeowulf]

Yes, everyone knows that. I never said anything about them being equal, though, did I?

I don't know where this guy/girl is based and those are the prices I'd market that system at in the UK and USA respectively, as you always list above your reserve. Fairly basic concept, really -.-

OP does happen to have his location set to United States...

[Slaeowulf]

He/she can use my US estimate, then.

[mgsstar]

I would also say about $800 for the desktop since it has great parts but not really a fan of the painted motherboard. Like things to be original. 

[Arshdeep]

I am sorry to say, it is a 3570K.

 

... actully, a lot. The posiblities are endless...
