Put the starting bid down to $500 and reserve at... uh... a secret price. LINK: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...cSELL.m315.lVI

Hopefully that will encourage more activity.

eBay used it twice and i just bought a DVD... but they are good... have one bad exp but the rest was okie...

OK, did a little cable management in an effort to make it look more appealing:



I also overclocked it to 3.15GHz stable, up from the 1.8GHz stock with the E4300. I don't know if people will like that or not, you tell me...



I also might spend a little money and get a nice Yate Loon to replace the Thermaltake fan at the back of the case (the one with red blades) so I can emphasize how quiet the rig is. I also had the idea to get some Swiftech Hydrx to replace the PC Ice coolant I have right now and a black light to give it that "bling-bling" factor. What do ya think?

Careful not to sink too much money into the sinking rig. ; ).

Haha, yeah. The Yate Loon fan is really cheap ($3-4), and the Swiftech Hydrx is really cheap also ($3-4). I don't know how much the black light will be. I might just skip the black light though, so that will make this "upgrade" under $10.

Don't put any more money into a system you are trying to get rid of, it's not like you're improving a house to sell or something (which is a completely different story). Just sell what you can and move on. Often times the best way to sell a system is to part it out and just sell all of the individual parts for whatever they are worth. People who know enough about computers to know what all those parts are in your system probably know enough to just buy the parts and build themselves (and have probably already done so). You're not gonna be able to sell a modded, watercooled system to the grandma down the street... See what I'm saying?

The system and the parts have enthusiast written all over them and there aren't many enthusiasts looking to buy someone else's system, they want (and probably already have) their own from scratch. They ARE however always looking for upgrades to specific parts, so parting out might be a better idea. You could try posting it on Anandtech classified forum or something that gets more traffic and doesn't require a high post count to have access to the classifieds.

OK, thanks for your advice, Blake. I'll let the Ebay auction run it's course, and if no one bids, I try selling the parts off individually.
