I'm moving and need to sell the desktop I built a few years ago. I really have no idea how computers depreciate and am wondering how much you think I should ask for it.
Specs:
Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Processor
MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti N660TI PE...
I believe a power surge over my cable line from a lightning strike damaged the Ethernet circuitry on my motherboard:

I posted on here a few months ago intending to buy new RAM then, but money became an issue and I wasn't able to do it. Now I"m ready to purchase, but thought I'd ask one more time before I pull the trigger.
I have this motherboard...
There was a lightning strike near my house a few months ago and ever since then whenever I wake my desktop up from sleep, it is disconnected from the internet and takes about 20 seconds before it connects.
Every once in a while (once a day or less), internet connectivity drops out when I'm in...

Usually when there's a storm I unplug all of my electronics, but yesterday we had some light rain and not thinking it was necessary, I didn't. So, naturally, there was a lightning strike near my house :(
A bunch of GFCI outlets in my house tripped, I heard a very loud crackle/sparking/popping...
I put a Crucial m4 128GB SSD in my laptop about a year and a half ago and when I built my desktop I used it as main drive. Considering that it's getting kind of old for an SSD (I know they have a tendency to fail after a while), I'd like to get a new one.
I'm going to be reinstalling Windows...
I've accidentally pressed the "reset button" on my 500R a couple of times instead of the case lights on/off button, and it seems like it should be called the "crash button."
Seriously, what's the point?
I need a new desktop pretty quickly and have decided to build it myself, but as this is my first time building a computer (and considering that I really have no clue what I'm doing), I would really appreciate your advice regarding my parts selection.
I will use the computer for moderate to...
Hi everyone,
I just received my Dell ST2410 display today and am having trouble calibrating it. I have it hooked up to my laptop, not a desktop, and the colors on my laptop screen look noticeably better than the 2410's. The 2410 looks like it has a kind of brownish-yellow tint to it when...
