    i'll give you a tenner for it :p
    seriously though i'd say around 2, 3 hundred pound odd.
    Its a decent system but second hand stuff doesnt go for half the price of new stuff on ebay unfortunately

    Nice rig.

    I'll give ya £15. Better than icey.

    Erm, ebay... set a reserve of like, £150 at least. You might get lucky and get £400, but don't count on it. As icey said, 2-300 probs.

    I was gonna set a 150 res on it, I reckon about 200 would be near enough max on Ebay, might as well list and and see what happens.


    Are pics important? I don't have a camera at the mo so do you think it will put people off?

    Yes! Pics are rather important, people do like to see what they are buying. Got a webcam or camera phone? That'll do the job... just say "Sorry, dont have a digicam at teh moment" or something.

    I mean, buying blind... always puts you off, no? IF not... find a pic of your case on google or something ;p

    What other stuff did you have with it like what type of ram/gfx card/DVD rw etc?

    It had 512 Ram, 120GB Seagate IDE HDD, an old PCI TV card, 64mb geforce graphics card (can't remember which one), separate cdrw and dvd-rom all in a very, very quiet dell dimension case.

    I reckon yours might go for a bit more cos you've got the fancy case and graphics card, as well as more ram.

    BTW, pics are very important. Also make the ad a good un (large, colourful text and good set out etc.)
