What's my PC worth?

How about your local Hardwarelogic? FS: Custom Water Cooled Rig

...and I made some flyers I'll put up tomorrow.

The biggest problem is the price. With $1300, someone can build a new computer him or herself that spanks the one that you're listing. Selling the individual parts would make the most sense as I don't expect anyone who can build a computer himself would want or need the WC setup with those low-to-midrange parts. Shipping would also be a pain.

OK, so the general response is the price is too high and I should sell individual parts. Check my FS thread for updates.

I think the general response is, you're going to have a tough time making a profit selling a used machine, or even a new machine for that matter. Computer parts depreciate extremely fast, and everyone's looking for a bargain.

Stormcrow's got you on the right path, and I'd put some flyers/ads up at any local colleges too. If someone's going to pay too much for a flashy PC, it's going to be a college student on a grant or with loans.

Trust me, I know exactly how you feel, and it's a sickness.

I say after selling this one, go all out for quad core, 4gb ram, EVERYTHING, and don't upgrade for a WHILE.

And as alread aforementioned, that's a rather high asking price for your rig YH.

If you're selling this rig, I'm going to assume you want to upgrade every part, meaning you want to SELL every part.

Even WITH a cusom paint job, I don't see you comfortably selling that whole rig (including the water cooling loop) for more than $800-900.

Just my $0.02.

Well, I made some flyers and my dad is going to take them to work. Same with my mom. I'm also putting some up at the local bulletin board. I'm keep it at $1300 for a while, see if anyone puts up, then lower the price as time goes on. I'm pretty sure someone will be amazing with the water cooling and all and grab it, but we'll see...

Thanks for your help guys!
