Dell XPS 15
It features a gorgeous 17" IPS display, which is pretty clear from the model name itself.
Intel Core i5
8GB DDR4 RAM
Nvidia GTX 950
1TB 7200rpm HDD
128GB SSD
The laptop is just a year old, and I still have a full year of warranty left!
I have the original box and everything included.
It’s in pristine condition; I used it strictly as a workstation until my desktop arrived, so now I'm looking to switch to something more portable.
Do you think $400 is a fair asking price? Considering the specs and the fact that I paid $650 for it just last year?

Maybe $800 the setup without the monitor. You could probably grab a monitor for around 350-$133

Of course, you can always push for more, depending entirely on the type of clientele you happen to land

To ensure smooth sales, let’s set $800 as our baseline—though you can certainly push toward $1000 if you happen to encounter a client willing to pay more.

I've got an old PC sitting around, and I'm wondering what kind of cash it might actually pull in 😵
I swapped out the 😁 because my larger drive finally kicked the bucket
Intel Core i3-2100 2.8Ghz
Asrock M3A770DE AM3 socket
NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 1024 MB 128 bit
CORSAIR CMPSU-400CX 400W ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS
Kingmax ddr3 1333Mhz 4Gb ( 2x2GB)
Seagate HDD 80GB
Thermaltake V3 case
Is it even worth trying to sell this, or is it just junk at this point?

Maybe around 800$283
My advice? Hold onto that case and that high-end power supply, then sell off everything else. From there, you can use that cash—depending on what you're willing to spend—to pick up the rest of the components

Thanks, that’s pretty much what I figured. Still, that tech is ancient by now, and even back then, it wasn't anything special. 🙂
I'm not picking up another one because I already have one, so that's off the table. Maybe I'll swap it out if I decide to put one of my lower-end power supplies in this build—I've got a few lying around—but since you left this one here, I might just hang onto it for later. 😁

A PC build in the $2,600$900 range and up (not including a monitor or games). Monitors aren't worth much; if you find one for $100$50, that's fine, but for serious gaming, I wouldn't count on it.

Same goes for roughly $883 😁

How much do you think I could ask for a Gigabyte GTX 750 ti? It's about two years old, but it still has like a year of warranty left on it.
