Hey guys I ve inherted a Athlon MP2200 system

It includes the S2469 motheboard
(2) Athlon MP2200 CPUS
(2) Venus Thermaltake heatsinks
(1) gig Registered EEC Mushkin Ram
(1) Hytechi 10K RPM 74 gig scsi drive in a Li Liam RH29 HDrack swap cage
(1) scsi cable
(1) I/O backplate


The question is what is this stuff worth? Should I try to sell it here or do you think this is out of what the guys here are looking for/willing to pay.

Comments please?

It would make a good firewall or file server.

I haven't upgraded in awhile - I'm running that exact same system (differant ram though and 15K SCSI drives with ATI 9700) and play AOE III and Guildwars just fine with it.

What's your asking price?
 
I would think you could sell all of that for at least $300.

I bought something similar off of ebay, but with 2G of ram for about $375.

your best bet is to just look around on ebay for the parts and come up with something similar.

if you decide to sell...let me know :D
 
I'll pay shipping on it :D

Unfortunately, I've had bad luck with Tyan boards, so that's about all I'd want to pay for the bundle. If you were to part it out, sure, I'd like some of that other stuff, but the board is a deal-killer. :(

Is this in a case, or just parts? Power supply? Does it work?
 
Just removed from the case, it probably has about 70 hours on it.
It was from part of a flight simulator we sell for aircraft training.
The customer wanted to upgrade the machine to an Athlon X2.

Money talks so we did what he asked.

No problems running as far as I know.

I remember what we paid when we purchased it last year.
The motherboard was $380
The Hard Drive was $290
The memory was $410
The CPU's were around $370 each
The heatsinks are $35 each
The Hard Drive cage is $80

And if your interested $350 + shipping + insurance and it is yours.

Just Private message me.


Thank you for the help,

If non of you contact me I will post this on the For/Sale section.

I have excellent HEAT and Ebay feedback,

Later,

IMO it's not nearly worth that much, a $95 dual core processor can beat that setup.


You might get lucky and sell to a enthusiast who has a nostalgic fetish, but thats going to be a tough find.
 
Athlon MP setups still carry a bit of a price premium, for whatever reason. The only real reason to buy one is geek factor. Not that there's anything wrong with that :D
 
The board has PCI-X slots, SCSI, and supports ECC RAM. What motherboard are you going to put an 805D in that has these features, includes a gig of ram, and a drive equivalent to a 10k SCSI, for under 350?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say none.

The Dual MP setup is not ideal for everyone, agreed. But it still has value, and features that aren't provided in lowend dual core setups.
