| You have a quite good graphic card, which will make the system worth a lot more. The ePox motherboard is rather low cost, but the athlon xp 2100+ should be ok for this system. By now the system should be 300Euro. For the rest (ram, hdd, optical drives, mouse and keyboard) I would add another 100Euro to the system-price. So, 400Euro for your system "could" be a realistic price on ebay. However, you might be more successful in selling the components one by one. The graphic card, cpu+mb+ram, hdd... Ahhh, 400Euro should be 270£

| No... ditch the keyboard for a standard Mac keyboard. It'll have all the right decals. I would gladly pay you $600 for that machine, were I in the market and had I the money.

| As far as the PC is concerned (not including software), here's an estimate of what it would cost to rebuild. Athlon XP 2100+ $65.00 Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT AGP 128MB $188.00 512MB PC 2700 DDR Memory $67.25 ePox 8RGA+ Motherboard $38.00 80GB IBM Deskstar HDD $55.00 32X CD/RW $19.99 16X DVD-Rom Drive $22.00 2X USB Wireless Network Dongles (???) Logitech Optical Wheelmouse $15.95 Standard Keyboard $7.88 TOTAL: $479.09 That doesn't include a case or CPU fan, but generally speaking you can get both from $40 to $100. Chances are it could cost less...I didn't shop it much and choose brand-name parts for some of the parts you didn't specify on (memory, drives, keyboard, etc.). With a case, probably cost somewhere between $520 to $580 to rebuild it. We'll use $550 as a good estimate since it's in the middle of that range. Subtract about 30% ($180) for it being used. So that leaves it at around $370. Looks worse after checking Ebay to see what's selling and for what. New machines that have XP2600/2800 processors are grabbing $299 to $399 with specs similar to yours, less the video card. Yours though is still used, so that'll hurt it a bit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...159889981&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...159874287&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...159255194&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...160647022&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...159755277&rd=1

| Thanks everyone. People on other forums have suggested that it'l possibly get £300. Why don't Apple do a trade in for the Mac Mini. Swap your PC for a Mini Mac!  I'm not too sure what to do yet. Thanks for all the suggestions! (P.S Would this be a worthy trade <PC>---<Mac Mini>) I have a spare USB 2.0 caddy with an 80GB HDD for my storage so I'd be fine for HDD space. |
