I'm thinking of changeing one of my spare rooms back into a proper usable bedroom. At the moment its just a room that collects clutter and has one of my PC's in there which I'm thinking of selling. I'd appreciate if anyone could give me a guide price which I should be advertising it for

Basics are;

ECS KV2 Extreme M/B with VIA K8T800 Pro chipset
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ CPU
1024 Mb DDR Ram + 2 empty slots
Nvidia Geforce 7800 GS Gfx card ( 256 Mb on board )
Hercules 5.1 Game Theatre Audio Accelerator with external rack (inc speakers)
Maxtor 250 GB HDD (7200 rpm)
Pioneer 112D DV-R DVD-RW
Network Card
17" Video 7 Flat Screen Monitor
Lian Li Brushed Aluminium Case with 2 side panals , clear or aluminium

Would be installed with a fresh copy of XP Pro / SP2

I built this unit just over a year ago and it runs flawlessly

I'd guestimate at £200-£250. Probably worth more split up and eBayed.

Have you filled that room up with more stuff since I was last there then Phil

yep, afraid so Steve,. Since me and the other half split I've been doing a lot of things in the house ( mainly AV ) and this room is cluttered more than ever although lots of stuff has been thrown & its getting clearer , but now want to put this room back to a functioning bedroom.

I'd have thought it'd be worth about £300 - £320 ish but thought I'd get a 2nd opinion
looks like its off on ebay then

Sorry mate you'll be lucky to hit £200.. prices since the quads etc came out have dropped

If you were to drop the drives & monitor etc, from the equation,

I picked up a near on exactly the same spec board/ memory / processor / gfx card & case etc for £130 that was about 6 months ago.

one option you could look at is to put in a dual core cpu if your board will take it, it may help to sell it on

Def sell it in parts on ebay, you will make much more that way.

I'd say around the £200 mark. Old computers are still old computers. When you can pop down to PC World and walk out with a desktop/laptop that has dual core, 2Gb Ram, Vista Home Premium and a warranty all for £400 you have to think carefully.

Yes, your GPU is going to be a lot better, but that is the only saving grace for the machine.
