Commodore · 09-13-2006, 08:23 PM

Here is another thread to rate the value of my Gaming Desktop. It is decked out in blue neon fans and blue neon lights on the front, along with a blue neon LCD and Alien Fan grills (ASPIRE Case). Specifications below:

Chaintech VNF3-250 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ 2.4GHZ Processor with HyperTransport
1GB Ram
160GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
8x DVD+/-/all others/CD Burner
128MB Nvidia Geforce 6800 unlocked to 6800ULTRA.
Chaintech Multimedia Card

Mint condition, comes with no preinstalled software, and no OS.

What do you think Its worth?

How fast is the ram and do you got any pics? All the neon stuff is nice if you like blue, otherwise not sure if that will make any difference.

I'd guess around $500-600... but that depends on what it looks like... post some pictures. Also, how big is the PSU?

$400, assuming gerneric RAM and Aspire PSU.

Wow, that seems kind of low. I know I had my desktop quoted at about $700 on a Computer forum. (I really wish I could remember that website... it was cool!)

It looks like Jason's gaming rig in his sig except it has blue led on the front and it also has 6 blue lights on the front, and Alien Fan Grills that light up in blue neon. It has a Aspire 420W PSU, and Corsair RAM, ill find out the timings soon. I think its worth around $700, someone correct me if im wrong. $400 seems too low.

If you're trying to sell it, you could always start by asking $700 and if it doesn't move slowly drop the price (prolly -$50 at a time). I think you should be able to manage $500 for it.

Alright, PC is now on sale for $700.

Shipping is covered thru USPS, whatever they charge, ill charge.

I checked out what it would cost new to see if this would be a deal, but you are asking a pretty high amount honestly.

Those components purchased brand new are worth $720(CDN) which is $645(USD) and that includes a one year in-store warranty.

For that system used I would say $400 is a good price (if you get anything more than that you found a great buyer) considering you could built it brand new for very cheap.

Also note in the quote I got I included a 3500+ processor instead of your 3400+, a much better ASUS board instead of that Chaintech, Kingston RAM, and a BFG 6800 Ultra OC which is definately better than an unlocked 6800GT. So for less than you are asking you could get a much better system brand new.

Unlocked 6800GS you mean? I don't think you can unlock a 6800GT.
