Decent blue LED case - could easily be $100, $167

450W Chieftec GPS-450AA-101A - does it $50 max
gigabyte gz-x2 black - maybe $33

It’s hard to say for sure without someone giving you a more precise breakdown. As for whether you can actually move this setup for that kind of cash? I honestly don't know. There is just so much out there right now; people are willing to pay a premium even for scrap, yet you can find builds that outperform yours for anywhere from 900-$333. Give it a shot, and if the phone doesn't start ringing, just start dropping the price later on

what about the hard drive?

Regarding what you mentioned, $750 I’d say +/- 5% is a realistic price range.

There's no way those components are actually worth that little, right?

For that amount, $1000 you could build an entirely new PC with a full warranty, and honestly, it would outperform what you have now.
I’d suggest listing it at $2,500, though even that feels like a bit of a stretch for a site like Craigslist.

MSI GTX 560 SE OC $183
Zalman z450 $67
Sharkoon T28 $83
500GB HDD $50
Corsair H80 $133

So... I guess you could use $833 as a starting point.

HP 6830s FU535ES
HP 17" WXGA+ (1440x900)
Intel Pentium Core 2 duo P8400
4096MB DDR2 (667MHz, expandable up to 8GB)
320GB SATA (5400 RPM)
DVD±RW Dual Layer SuperMulti LightScribe
ATI Radeon HD3430 - 256MB dedicated memory (up to 512MB)
Integrated webcam + microphone
WLAN 802.11a/b/g, Gigabit LAN 1x 10/100/1000 Ethernet, 56k modem
bluetooth
Free DOS

- battery still holds a charge, but not for long
- HP carrying case, looks like new, almost worth as much as the laptop itself😁

I'm looking to sell this. I paid a small fortune for it back in the day, so what's a realistic asking price on eBay?

thanks!

Here is a quick breakdown for an appraisal, please. It’s half new, half used🙂.

Zalman z1 mid Tower Seasonic 430 w 80
Seasonic 430w 80+ bronze.
Esc z77h2-a3 Intel I5 2400 3.1
Intel i5 2400 3.1ghz
4gb kingstone HyperX 1600 MHz
HyperX 1600 MHz Saphire R9 270 x toxic
Samsung SSD evo basic 120gb

I wouldn't let it go for anything less than $3,800 right now, given what I can ask for it.

I’d probably just toss in four more sticks of RAM—give it a little extra breathing room—and if that doesn't do the trick, then you can start turning things down.

Hmm, feels a bit low to me—everything’s running perfectly fine and I paid $897
enough for it.
