Samsung SyncMaster 2043nw (from 2009)

What kind of cash could I realistically pull for this entire setup?

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz socket 775 + Zalman cpns7700 active cooler — paid extra for this $83
Motherboard: Asrock—picked this up back in February
HDD: 80 GB
RAM: 1 GB DDR2
GPU: Nvidia 6600 GPU : Asus 19
Monitor: Asus 19" widescreen
Printer: Canon Pixma IP4200
Mouse + keyboard + decent Logitech speaker set with a subwoofer
Gigaset USB wireless adapter for internet access

I am looking to upgrade my setup, so I am considering selling my old Apple Mac Mini. It has undergone several upgrades over the years, though it is currently running Mac OS X 10.3.9. While it still handles basic software reasonably well, the internet speed is sluggish and it’s stuck with an outdated Flash Player. The specs include 1GB of DDR SDRAM and a 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 processor. Back in its prime, this was quite a high-end, expensive machine. However, I am curious about its current market value and whether selling it now makes any sense.😕

There’s no way it’s 3100 MHz. It’s either 3000 MHz (the Athlon 64 x2 6000+) or 3200 MHz (the Athlon 64 x2 6400+), though I doubt it's the latter since those aren't exactly common. Either way, you can grab some decent cash for that CPU. You'll see plenty of people posting ads looking for "high-end" processors for the AM2 socket, and what you've got there is easily one of the strongest ones out there.😉

I'm looking at an older server setup with the following specs:

Motherboard: Tyan CK804
CPU: 2x AMD Opteron 246, 2000 MHz (10 x 200)
VGA: Nvidia GeForce 6800 Series GPU (256 MB)
RAM: 2x Kingmax MPSC22D-38HT3-HBN 512 MB PC2700 Reg. ECC DDR SDRAM (2.5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz) (2.0-3-3-6 @ 133 MHz)
HDD: 2 x WDC WD360GD-00FLA2 (36 GB, 10000 RPM, SATA), 1 x WDC WD2000JD-98HBB0 (186 GB, IDE)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650w gaming Power Supply

What kind of value are we talking about here? Anyone actually interested in this kind of hardware?

Either way, you could probably get decent cash for that CPU; I see plenty of people online hunting for "high-end" processors for the LGA 775 socket, and yours is definitely one of the heavy hitters. 😉

Actually, it's totally possible. The Athlon 6000+ comes in two different speeds (3GHz and 3.1GHz), so they aren't actually that rare. 😉

I didn't realize that. 🤷 He could probably grab $250$100 on eBay at the very least.

that rig is basically a paperweight unless you want to browse the web—try selling it, honestly, I doubt anyone would touch it, but whatever they offer will be way too much over what it's actually worth

hahaha, he sold it for $133 to some guy—I didn't even realize there were people like that out there xD 😲 🤣

Hey everyone 🙂

Looking for a quick reality check on what my current rig is worth—if you don't mind dropping some numbers 🙂
Selling the whole setup together, case + monitor included

1) CPU - Intel Core i7, 4x2.4 GHz, 8 MB Cache, LGA 775 socket
2) Motherboard - Intel Core i7 chipset, LGA775, 1x PCI E x16, 4x DDR2-800 (Dual), etc.
3) GPU - Powercolor Nvidia GeForce, 256 MB, GDDR3
4) RAM - 2 GB Supertalent DDR2 (800MHz)
5) PSU - CCT-400 W
6) Storage & Optical - 320GB HDD, 7200rpm General Electric, Sony DVD, CD
7) Monitor - Dell Monitor
8) Case - Just some generic stock version—has a blue LED on the front and a little screen showing temps, fan speeds, and boot info😁

Thanks in advance.

1) 600 kn
2) 150 kn
3) 200 kn
4) 120 kn
5+8) 150 kn
6) 300 kn
7) 350 kn

I'm trying to wrap my head around how an Intel Core i7 could be $200, seeing as the AMD Ryzen beats it out in most scenarios and costs less than 😬

Is the supply just low? 🙂

The 775 holds its value pretty well, even if the socket is ancient... I guess most people on the 775 platform just don't want to deal with a full upgrade, so they're basically just patching things up with a newer CPU. That probably explains why there's such high demand for the q660

Hey everyone. Since I’ve been out of the loop for quite a while now and I'm actually planning on picking up a new rig soon, I was wondering if you could give me a rough idea of what my current setup is worth...

cpu: Intel Core i3
gpu: Nvidia GeForce 512MB
psu: Corsair VX450W
mbo: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L
ram: DDR2 Kingmax 2x2 GB 800 MHz
Hard: Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200rpm
optic: some cheap LG drive
case: HP, fan: Corsair 120mm front in, Corsair 120mm rear out

CPU $67
GPU 300-$117
PSU $83
Motherboard $60
RAM $50
HDD $90
Optical Drive $20
Case: $150-$200, depending on what you're looking at.

The power supply, that LG junk, and the hard drive—maybe even the case too—should be totally fine to toss into your new build without any issues.

I appreciate the assessment and the advice.
best,

I'm looking to upgrade my setup, so I wanted to see what this rig might be worth. I don't know much about hardware—a buddy picked these parts out for me—so I’m hoping you experts can give me an idea of a fair asking price before I post an ad. The PC is in great shape and the peripherals look pretty clean. Any thoughts? Here’s the specs:

Any idea what this rig is worth? I'm looking to pick up a laptop soon and need to know how much cash I can squeeze out of this old thing.
