please let me know what you would SELL IT FOR....thanks guys
 
I'd buy that for a $1.
 
400 or so? Maybe......
 
Need moar input! Model of motherboard please..

Without knowing: $375.
 
its a dell xps 420....the mother board is dell inc. 0tp4601



i respect everyone input , but you guys wouldn't pay more then 400 for this with the monitor and speakers? 4gb of ram...and all the apps installed....if not that's fine...i was thinking 500$ thought that was about right on the low end...figured i may get 550 - 600 is what i would like ...seems i may be to high???
 
u can sell it for about 50 to 60% of the actual price online at craiglist etc but asking a tech community u will get a pretty low quote, trust me i hv done tht before lol :p
 
yea most of the hardware is as far as the community here sees it is an antique next up its a dell which most of us shudder about cpu is decent but id say about $350-375 is what id drop on that maybe and thats stretching things a bit. Sorry man but maybe on craigslist you can get 400-500 but its gonna be awhile before it sells for the price of 350-400 u can build an equivalent or faster PC but then again no software.... such as OS in the figure as far as apps go most there is free to get and easy to set up. wish i could give better news then that but yea around here your not gonna see big money anywhere near what your looking for.
 
ok thats all good.....i have it starting off at 499 bid...so wish me luck hahaha using that money towards my new system in another post....if i can get 600 im happy....hahaha
 
Well, you can pretty much get a comparable system at Dell for $499 w/ monitor. Good luck though. :toast:
 
Don't expect more than 350$... MAX 400$

though if you are lucky, locally you could get 450$~550$... perhaps if you upgrade the GPU it would look more appealing to the point where you could get your money back...

350$ i would say.

upgrade hmmm never thought of that, any suggestions?price?
 
nothing extravagant... if you find a good deal somewhere, pick that up! Something like a 4850 512 mb will be much better, and you can advertise it as "GREAT" gaming PC lol
 
while if you see my other post, the card in it has the cooling fan broke running at about 60% all the time, and cant control it. So if i replace the card its about time then sell it. Just dont wanna spend too much since im selling it off....ill look into it thanks guys!

only bad thing is its up on egay now for 499. 3 people watching it so if it does sell for 500$. I have on there runs smooth and quite, then two days after posting it card brakes haha now it sounds like a jet. so need to get the card fast haha
 
so the card is bust? can't you just take it off ebay?

I'm sure a 4850 512MB could be found use near 50~60$max, then 500~600$ would be a nice selling price for you
 
ya been tring to fix it in other posts.....it seems to need a new cooling , could take it off but then your talking selling a PC with out a GPU card lmao...
found this card for 50$$ and 5$$ shipping would this look any better??compatable??

Diamond 4350PE1G ATI Radeon HD 4350 1GB DDR2 PCIE Video Card

DDR2 1gb PCIE i beleive it is....just dont know about Diamond 4350PE1G,if that throws it off or not


also for the same price

Sapphire Radeon HD 5450 - 1 GB DDR2 HDMI/DVI-I/VGA PCI-Express

i think that is compatable...just wondering if 55$ would make the differnce

4350 is WEAK lol... Get a used card. at least something like the 9800 GT that Easy Rhino is selling

I'd say at least 4830 / 9800 GT level of Graphics card is in order here
 
I'd pay $450 for it, I added around $75 'cause of the BD drive and the sound card. Would make one hell of an HTPC.
 
sweet thanks! where do i shipp it?? haha
 
since im upgrading this card, to get a higher price on Computer what would you guys recommend?

ATI Radeon HD 4350 512 MB DDR2 V/d/HDMI ????? about 47$ LMK

Don't upgrade your rig to get a better price. Just put it out there for what you think it's worth and see if you get a buyer.
 
You were already told the 4350 is not an upgrade :laugh:

I agree with Kreij for the most part. I had one computer that I was selling on CL (which is rough, but not as bad as eBay to me) and a video card upgrade actually helped. Of course I didn't go out and buy one, I had an extra and listed it as an option. So there are exceptions.
 
yes yes yes, just d/k if droping 70$ on a card is best to POSSIBLE make 100$
 
if your card is already disfunctionning though :p

just look around for good deals, if you find a good one, don't hesitate... no only will you get your money back probably, you'll find a buyer much faster... again, try to find a 9800GT/GTX+ 4850/70 level card, and do ask here before buying

Your CPU is still great, but your GPU is NOT at all, very unbalanced for gaming
