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.

$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.

$120. No more.

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.

50 bucks. Its depreciated garbage.

Are you selling? Cause I'll negotiate to buy that.

I need a quarterassed system to stick 98 on and do some stuff...Ive got a V3 sitting around that I'd throw in it.

Arch · Post by **Arch** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 9:32 pm

Yah, I'm selling it. I had a guy here locally that I thought was interested, but I haven't heard from him. If I don't hear from him in a week then we can talk

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 10:34 pm

*BUMP*

I say again, how tall is the case?

Is this comp still availible? I'm getting the money I'd use to buy it in a few days, so respond plx

Arch · Post by **Arch** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 8:53 pm

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.

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 11:36 pm

What OS did you have runninng on it? I'd really like to get this machine

Arch · Post by **Arch** » Tue Jan 27, 2004 8:48 am

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

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 2:52 pm

Ok, Ive got some cash. This thing still availible?

Arch · Post by **Arch** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:12 pm

Yah, its still up for grabs.

Birdseye · Post by **Birdseye** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 9:51 pm

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.

Birdseye · Post by **Birdseye** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 11:50 pm

Arch give it another go. That is my email and it should work. Occasionally the mail server goes down.

Dude, I tried again, no go.

Birdseye · Post by **Birdseye** » Fri Jan 30, 2004 12:56 pm

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.
