price check on desktop
I built a new ubuntu desktop for myself for christmas but i realize i have little to no use for it. i just finished it 2 days ago. the specs are:
cooler master rc690 case
thermaltake 430w power supply
1 gig of buffalo value ram
biostar tforce 520
athlon x2 4000
asus en7300gt silent
cd/dvd burner
i forgot to mention that i have no windows os that i can include as its in my other gaming computer
its pretty nice but i cant use it and in need of cash. what could i get for it?

Re: price check on desktop
if it's in perfect condition, i'd say 400-500 USD. also, does it have xp/vista in addition to linux?

Re: price check on desktop
Just a quick look at bestbuy.com, and I found similar spec'd boxes going for $400-450, with a windows license. You've got a nicer case though... but most people don't care. You also don't provide a warranty, so you would have to knock cash off there too.
Your best chances of getting $400 out of it honestly is to put it on Craigslist.

Re: price check on desktop
Dumb question, which is the graphics card? The 7300?

Re: price check on desktop
Yeah $350 id say.. BTW , you should download a copy of xp and just install a trial of 30 days.. just to confirm with people that the system actually boots and works
