Mr Gav   10 #1 Posted September 4, 2009 Hi all, I'm looking to sell the following PC's i reciently aquired and was hoping somebody would be able to give me a rough idea on their value (each).  All work fine, although none appear to have genuine XP installed, and i didn't get any discs with it, so for obvious legal and security reasons, i will wipe the hard drive.  All come with keyboard & mouse (wired), 250-350w PSU & 17" CRT monitor, and were PAT tested in March 09.  (If you want the full system report, PM me and i'll email you the html SIW report file)  PC 1  Manufacturer MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD Product Name KM400-8235 Motherboard Manufacturer MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD Model MS-6734 CPU Name AMD Duron CPU Code Name Applebred Platform Name Socket A (462) Memory 512 + 256 MBytes (DDR PC3200) Disk drives Maxtor 6E040L0 (IDE) 39197 (MB) DVD/CD-ROM drives 56X CD-ROM (IDE) + CD-RW CDR-7S52 (IDE)   PC 2  Motherboard Manufacturer eSys Model P4M800/478 CPU Intel Celeron CPU 2.26GHz Cpu Socket Socket 478 mPGA System Slots 3 PCI, 1 AGP Memory 256 + 512 MBytes DDR (PC3200) Disk drives Maxtor 6K040L0 (IDE) DVD/CD-ROM drives BENQ CD-ROM 656M (IDE)   PC 3  Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard Product Name HP Compaq dx2250 Microtower Motherboard Manufacturer MSI Model 0A7C CPU Name AMD Athlon 64 3800+ CPU Code Name Orleans Platform Name Socket AM2 (940) System Slots 2 PCI Memory 1024 MBytes DDR2 (PC2-5300) Storage Seagate ST3160815AS 160.0 GB DVD LG Electronics HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDRH10N (Serial ATA)   PC 4  Motherboard Model SiS-741 CPU Name AMD Sempron CPU Code Name Thoroughbred Platform Name Socket A (462) System Slots 4 PCI, 1 AGP Memory 256 + 512 MBytes DDR (PC3200) Storage Maxtor 6Y080L0 81.9 GB (Parallel ATA) DVD TSSTcorp DVD-ROM SH-D162C (Parallel ATA) CD OPTORITE CD-RW CW5207 (Parallel ATA)  Undecided on whether to sell 'as is' or if it's worth replacing PSU's and upping the RAM to between 1 or 2 GB (bearing in mind DDR ram will push the price up due to it's price) Any idea's advice welcomed:thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest   #4 Posted September 4, 2009 I recently sold one similar spec to your PC3 for £62 so good estimate there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tallanddopey   10 #5 Posted September 4, 2009 you might be better off, splitting them up and seeing what you can get for individual parts on ebay or somewhere else. obviousley research first, but some older components, cpu's especially can fetch quite a bit.  for instance the CPU, AMD Athlon 64 3800+ can be found on ebay with a buy it now price of around £40-65, whether anyone buys it is another matter. but that is near the price of the whole system. also 512MB DDR ram can fetch a tenner easily.  also you have to factor in the fact that there arent that many people out there who would buy a pc of that age or spec as its way behind the times. especially when were moving onto 8 core cpu's at the end of the year, and fast ram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Trickle   10 #6 Posted September 5, 2009 the 3800+'s on ebay going for £40 will be the X2's.  A single core £3800+ is worth a max of £5.  I recently took a PC like this to the skip, but the case was a mess and it was a self build. A tidy OEM complete one at this spec level with OS recovery disks is still worth something.  I don't think they are worth the time to split, apart from hard drives, maybe.

cv65user   10 #7 Posted September 6, 2009 1 £20 2 £20 3 £60 4 £40  agreed . 50 / 60 max . pc 3 definately looks the best out of the rest. rest i didnt even bother looking at as they were that old = worth nothing . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mr Gav   10 #8 Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) Just had a look on ebay, and HP DX2250 Business Desktop PC AMD 64 X2 5000/2GB/160GB currently on Buy It Now for £249.99. (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HP-DX2250-Business-Desktop-PC-AMD-64-X2-5000-2GB-160GB_W0QQitemZ120458381235QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_DesktopPCs?hash=item1c0be107b3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) The only difference between this and PC 3 is the CPU and the extra 1GB of RAM. A friend is buying it (17" monitor included) for surfing t'interweb and basic accounts, so no gaming. Replacing the DVD-ROM with a DVD-RW drive, and the original RAM with 2GB of OCZ goodness, and if a bigger CPU is wanted, AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2.9GHz Socket AM2 CPU's are only £50, so still works out quite a bit cheaper than the ebay one Edited September 7, 2009 by Mr Gav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
