Hi folks, as the title says really. I`m in need of cash and am forced to sell my machine. I`ve had it since November 08, original purchase was £830;
mobo XFX Nvidia 680i LT SLI
Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz(Kentsfield)
4 gig Corsair TwinX DDR2(SLI ready)
Gigabyte 8800GT 512Mb (shipped o/c - G92)
DVD RW
SATA HD 120Gb
CIBOX widescreen TFT DVI
Vista Premium 64bit
I`m not looking to sell on here, but am looking to sell to one of my friends. I`m hoping to get a reasonable price for it yet I don`t want to rip them off, what do you guys think would be a suitable price?

While I still have the machine I am setting up an old rig from spares for myself. (Try not to laugh here)Its an athlon 800Mhz with geforce 2 pro 32Mb - I just need memory (I have either 64mb or 128mb - not sure but I need to get more). I`m not sure what to do about the OS - I have an old student version of XP, but I was looking at Windows PE 2.0 recently. Has anyone ever used it? It looks like it could be suitable, from what I gather it looks like its a stripped down legal version of Vista, now the specs of my "new" old rig probably aren`t good enough(vista needs an x10 card?) so I thought there might be a version 1.0 of PE but I think I need to use a legal version of XP to use the net installer just to get the XP version of PE(is student version suitable for this?) which I would think is what version 1.0 would be? Are there options outside of this for a free legal OS? I realise there are but I do need the machine to run dbpro, with such low specs I`m at a bit of a loss of what to do here. Any advice would be appreciated

Windows PE is not meant to be run as a standalone OS. If you need to run DBP, you have no choice but to use Windows. I'd recommend installing Windows 2000, as it's based on the NT kernal, but it's way, way faster than XP.

Some things are not supported in 2000, like .net.

Thanks, I might just do that. Anyone got a clue as to how much I should sell for?

Well I have to say I`m surpised and disapointed, I wasn`t expecting hoards of responses but I thought I might get at least one that attempted to answer the original question, guess I`ll have to risk ripping him off then - (btw thanks Jerico for your info - I was looking at narrowing down resources using PE rather than use it as an os - I don`t think a student version of XP would pass the windows genuine test for the download, plus I did`t want to buy XP as its on its way out - Vista is not an option, I did`t know if there were other options for such a low spec - I thought perhaps if XP is due to lose support, maybe there were free Windows alternatives for older technologies, for now I`ll stick with student version, a week or two I can probably get Win2000 if I can sell my other machine for enough).

What I'd do is sell your current PC, and use that money to buy RAM so you can run a copy of XP on that old pc. (1gb or more should be fine).

The computer you'd like to sell is probably worth anywhere between 700 and 900 dollars depending on the specific model numbers on the parts, not including the monitor. I have no idea what size monitor you have, so getting an estimate on that is impossible. All you gotta do is lookup what it's going for on ebay or amazon, look for the lowest price, and consider that the going rate.

I'd say you should try to sell it locally for 900 + the cost of the monitor and see what happens. I'd try listing it on craigslist, and on a for-sale group on yahoo groups for your local area if your city has a list like that.

Thanks again, thats very helpfull indeed, I can get on this straight away and get it sold sooner rather than later. Not that I want to mind, I`ve spent a couple of hours on this old thing and its really depressing. To think I need to spend money on a new os and ram for this heap of junk makes me weep. Still its better than staring at 4 walls. Thanks again
