I have a simallar box myself, if I just wanted to get rid of it, $50 bux + shipping would prolly be the most I would expect. I dont wanna get rid of it tho, so dont ask. Image

$50? Man, the memory itself costs $142 new from Crucial. Figure 50% of that, and thats $71 just for the memory. I think I'm going to try to unload this whole deal for around $110.

That box is worth around $300 in New Zealand. I know, cause I just bought a box with almost identical hardware for $280 NZ. That's $190 USD.

Don't ever get into the trap of thinking what you paid for it, or what the stuff is worth brand new, has ANYTHING to do with what the market will pay for it second-hand.

mobius is right, everything tech related depreciates the second it leaves the retail outlet you purchased it from. if you can find someone who will pay you retail for an unopened package, you are a lucky man.

Hey man, sorry I didn't reply. Let me measure the case real quick.....16 1/2 inches on my carpet, so lets say 17''.

As far as you people calling it depreciated garbage, I'm not talking about making this a whip snazzy gaming machine. Its a server and nothing more. It works great serving files and hosting game servers. It can handle a 32 player game of JK:II without issue. Runs day and night overclocked to 933mhz at 100% cpu usage, and can do so without any fans if I so desire.

Is it still available, yes techinically. I had one guy come and look it, but I don't think he's going to go for it. I had another guy look at it 2 days ago, and I think he may want it. I'll keep you posted.

I had Windows 2000 Server and I just recently loaded Fedora Core 1 on it. Red Hat 9.0 also worked.

How much would it cost to ship to zip 58076 (if that doesnt work for some reason, use 58075) and how much are you asking for the machine itself? email me avder2001@yahoo.com so we can talk about this...very interested in this machine. I have the extra parts for it and everything.

bizarre, because I got my email this morning. Try gxchange@arrowweb.com or just call me. Give me your email and I'll send my number.

Or maybe just post the price you want to get, that may make things easier in my decision.
