I have decided to sell some of my old hardware to help offset the costs of the re-vamp of my gaming machine, to a buddy of mine at work and was curious what is a good asking price for my hardware??:

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium(no overclocking done to it)
AMD Socket 939 X2 4800(10% overclocked for a little while)
eVGA 7900 GT CO Superclocked w/ Zalman Fan
2-1gig sticks Corsair XMS DDR 400(no overclocking)
Thermaltake 680 Watt PSU

Thanks

Rough recommendations:

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium MB: $85 - $100
4800+: $100 new, so about $70- $75 used
eVGA 7900 GT CO Superclocked: $100 - $125. There are current-gen $225 cards that significantly outperform it. It's about like an 8600, which is $150 new.
Memory $150 new, so about $85 - $100 used
PSU: $75 - $100 6 mos - 1-year old, $50 2-year old

Thanks cool_case for the reply. Definitely gives me an idea of what to sell them for!

The longer you wait to sell it the more worthless it becomes.... especially that old AMD stuff... one day I'll use an FX-60 chip as a beard comb..

I'm finally using my old 3500+ again. 130nm architecture single core, hot running, poor overclocking piece of silicon in a stunt rig for my two year old. He loves the thing for at least 15 minutes at a time.

Anyone who has an old chip and some DDR sitting around can make a great server running Windows Home Server. Automatic backups, small footpront and reportedly works flawlessly. Throw an old A64 and 939 board with 512MB of RAM into a beat up old case with a pile of your old hard drives installed, load Windows Home Server software and stick the thing in a closet. It distributes the data onto all the hard drives connected as if they are one big partition and backs up all the PCs on the network automatically.

Unlike Vista this OS has received rave reviews form all the usual suspects. Great way to put all that old hardware back to work. A little pricey at $170 for an OEM copy but hooked up to a 300 watt UPS it could be a real lifesaver and lighten some of the guilt we all suffer from our many upgrades.

That sounds like a good idea with the Home Server. Me and the pops wanted to setup a small server in the house anyways. So might just put the old hardware to that and save big time on costs.

baracus, we'd all be interested in your -*test*-('"). I plan on doing it soon as well since I am jonesing for a 45nm which means my quad will move and the wife needs to upgrade. I have read nothing but glowing reports about the OS so there isn't much of a downside.

merc,

I will definitely keep everyone updated about my -*test*-('") of Home Server. I as well have read nothing but good reviews and heard great things about the Home Server.

Apparently even M$ gets something right now and again.
