What's my computer worth?

I'm taking out contents insurance soon & want to include my computer on it but I'm not sure how much it's worth.

My sister bought it brand new out of a catalogue & paid a whopping £900 for it! (Rip off, as it stated that it's a gaming computer but has a crappy graphics card).

The specs are as follows:

iQon S651MPR2
Intel Celeron 2.68 Ghz
224 Mb Ram
71.2 Gb

It has built in CD-RW & DVD Drive (not DVD-RW)
It's got XP Home Edition installed
Graphics Card is: SiS 651C Rev 00
It has 15" Proview flat screen monitor
It has an A5 size Wacom graphics tablet & pen

If anyone has an idea of how much it's worth please let me know asap!
Cheers:thumb:

    £200 excluding the tablet, not sure how much they are worth. I would insure it for £400

    I'd say about £250 including the tablet.

    It's only worth a couple of hundred quid. For insurance purposes I'd use £400 or so - it'd cost you around that for an average system these days, so if anything happened and it needed replacing, you'd be on a better footing from the start.

    Thanks everyone.....It's amazing how much computers depreciate in value isn't it. To be fair I bought it off my sister for £200 & she wanted more, so you've all pretty much confirmed how much I thought it was worth. I will say £400 for insurance purposes though, cheers!
