Someone is asking to buy my computer and I have no idea what to ask, here are the spec's:

aluminum atx tower
8x dvd-rom
32x12x48 cd-writer
mai geforce 4 ti4400
512 pc 2100 ddr ram
ecs k7s5a mobo
1700+ XP Athlon
Volcano 7 hff
60gig seagate baracuda 7200rpm

any ideas?? thank you.
 
I am being serious. Who are you selling it to? A non computer person, or a computer person?

If you are selling it to a non computer person, go for 1800, and then bargain down. If you're selling it to a computer person, go and price list every part, add or subtract accordingly, and then ask for that...

It can't be worth that! seriously?

Plus, I live in canada, so that's even more.

I forgot to mention it would come with windows xp.

I was told by someone here about $500 or $600.

yikes... now im confused.
And I would price out the stuff, but most of it you cannot buy anymore here.
 
ECS K7S5A (new) ~ $50
AXP 1700+ (new) ~ $45
slow DVD-ROM (new) ~ $20
32X CD-RW (new) ~$30
MSI ti4400 (new) ~ $120 (GeForce 4's are overpriced)
heatsink ~ $5
512MB generic PC2100 ~$80
60GB Seagate Barracuda IV ~$60
Inexpensive aluminum case ~$70
PSU slightly extra

Total current cost new ~$500 USD.
Depreciation due to use ~15% estimated
Depreciation due to obsolecence ~10% (mainly because of the GeForce4 being overpriced and the older SIS 735 ECS mobo)

Total used cost ~ $380 for parts.
Assembly, burn in and installation cost ~$40
Windows XP cost varies on whether it's home or Pro.
For Pro, add ~$120
For Home add ~$90

Fair price to friend (provided it's prime stable): ~$500 US, $470w/XP Home
Price to wealthy relative who you dislike a little: ~$800 US
Unfair price to worst enemy: ~$1800
 
$500, $470/wXPhome ... was that a typo?

as in did you mean 570/w ?
 
I would say about $450 without an OS on it, just add the cost of the OS of their choice, build, prime, sell
