Surely that's a given - previous owner, one man ...

 :--

P4 1.8 Mhz
512MB
80GB HDD
Nvidia Graphics card with 256MB Ram
2 x CD Rom drives
Windows XP
Office XP

£150

or mine

it doesn't work

£10

see first post

300 cash  :|

Hmm, what spec is yours youth? Obviously would give you more than a tenner if I'm interested and you're serious.

i was only joking si, i'll fix it eventually and use it as a spare machine/file server

£450 and it's yours

I'll have to limp on with this one then

what spec is yours at the moment?

this is mine:

tbh i'm not really sure what my pc is worth

Not £450

So have you got 2 cards in sli and 2 x WD 250gb or just one of each?

AMD athlon 2400+ 2.00GHz
512mb Ram
160gb HD (though i have a 250 external)
Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb

has actually served me fairly well over the years for what i initially paid. Has developed an issue with overheating though so requires a good bog out every month or two

PIII 550mhz
384mb ram
64mb Geforce 3.
over 500gb of various hard drive space.

Lasted me about 10 years, although really only in a triggers broom sort of way. There aren't any original parts left.

That reminds me Benjamin. I'll get that pc out the loft for you. You can then do some mods and combine the two.

cheers you sexy legend.

No worries. Also, If they dont sell on ebay. I have a collection of about 40 win 98 games you can have as well, and a 15" monitor. Tempted to launch it out of a top floor window though...

I've already got a couple of spare monitors kicking about. I'd go for the top floor window.

ha, best post in a while  :D

just one of each.

was too expensive to buy two 7900gt

I'd say £300 is a good offer then

Seriously?!!!
i don't think so personally.

i've seen them sell for over £400 on a more basic spec than mine.

considering the XPS700/710 are selling for over £500

Mobo and processor £80
Graphics £135
Memory £50
HD £45
Case and psu £30
DVD £20

That's brand new, obviously not built but you could probably hunt around and get it all even cheaper.

If you can get more elsewhere I say go for it :)

I have to agree with SiPie £300 and I would honestly snap their hand off, thats not being funny that is hand on heart as I can easily make up a faster spec PC for well under £400 brand new with almost double the spec of your, I am sorry to tell you.

I think Si's right. Priced it up to build from new now, using the same spec:

£40.00    Pentium D945 Dual 3.4ghz 4meg cache
£35.00    250gig WD Hard drive
£70.00    XFX GeForce 7900GT 256meg 256bit Graphics
£50.00    4gig PC5300 667mhz Ram
£100.00  For a decent Mobo
======
£295.00

And building your own you won't have shite Dell proprietary components rendering them virtually impossible to upgrade

it's just selling a system so cheap which has cost me quite a bit.

but i suppose as time has gone on with new technology etc prices tumble.

also pc has floppy drive, dvd rw combi and also dvd rom drive.

wow, a floppy drive must bit cutting edge kit for £500 :wink:

Technology has moved on indeed. Your motherboard is 3 chipsets old and your processor is very dated. A Core2Duo of similar price would blow it away.

If prices don't fall the technology you get for a similar price is incredible. I built my machine about 10 months ago and it was a quality spec nearly £1000. It's already lost £300 and would be more if I hadn't had got a good deal on things like the hard drives.

processor is still selling for £100 brand new

You can get a core2duo for £50 that is so much better...

I know you want to get as much as possible which is cool, but you'd be seriously mugging someone off at £450. If you can go ebay or local ad or something and do it then that's fine, but selling things through a forum I think it's only right a fair price is to be had by all.

i'm not denying that i just think £300 is too cheap to sell it.

I'll trump that with my old laptop:

P2 350Mhz
128mb RAM
64mb onboard graphics
6gb hard drive

 8)

I can trump that.

Got a 17 year old tosh laptop. P1 100mhz and 32 mb ram, no disk drive, no network drive, no cd and no usb!

Should be in a fucking museum but i love it!

Do you use it as a rolling tray?

I had an old Tosh laptop, probably about 15 years old. Had a P1 100mhz also, 64mb ram with the luxury of an internal floppy drive. Chucked it away last year when I moved house because the 500mb hard drive was fooked and you can't buy replacements for them now  :cry:

i've got an acorn electron  8)

Acorn's were quality. I used to have an A500. Best operating system I have used.

The BBC basic was so damn easy to follow knocked Commodore and Sinclair into a cocked hat, I learnt to program on a BBC model B with the same operating system as the Acorns...class :)

what do people reckon to this set up for a system build?
anything i've missed or should change?

But it doesn't count if it's not your only and best computer.
