$350.00-$400.00 at high-end street, without monitor, for someone who needs a starter box, best price you will get. Essentiall, the PSu quality would drop price $50-60 off of a top nothc computer with a slightly oversized PSU to someone in the know. If I were buying for resale (rare), I would pay $250.00 max and sell for about $300.00.Board is decent, CPU slower. Get current market value for new parts, cut in half, and expect to handle any inherent defects yourself as many warranties are to original buyer only and you will be the most available person to give grief to over problems unless you sell as is. In which case it should sell at parts replacement value at current market price unless you ned a fast sale, in which case you take parts raw cost, cut to 2\3, then drop $100.00 off to sell fast and give a 30 day warranty max to make things look better than just a parts box sale. Street is determined not by how old built set is, but by how old the tech in the build is, and average builder makes 10-15% on pure box plus assembly and burnin and O\S install and configure labor-- IF they have a verifiable QC history over alonger time than 5 years to 6 years.

How did I get this price??? Of the value boards, the K7S5A is one of the better boards as far as reliability but not as to overall speed balance integral to board components, and TDK one of the better burners. Since you did not mention video, it might be embedded in use, and that video is not near top of heap at all, nor what is being offered with 1-2 year box warranty NEW with same things you mentioned except better video added on. You could try to sell higher as is, but expect a 3-4 month time to sell unless you get lucky, and then you would have to devalue box over that time frame 10% simply because you would have folks looking at stuff that is so much faster in the market that bang for buck value would drop that much. People, many, would be too aware from simply looking at features, to buy much more. I bring in boxes with name-brand RAM, XP Pro, a comparable board, better than base generic case and PSU, name brand RAM (Corsair CMX) of same amount and a Barton 2500+ for less than $520.00 NET(total) cost including shipping, from a builder with over 2 decades of experience who burns boxes in well and that includes a 3 year warranty. Board in that case is a KM2M, with Lucent chipset Winmodem, better video chip and 24 hour tech support.

Ok, add $40 to price if not a PowerColor.

I'd say $350, maybe $400, considering it has an XP license.

[seversphere]

are you selling locally or online? If online then packaging and tracked & insured shipping is a must and should be included in the price.

[Bud]

I think you could get $350-$400 for the system. I sold two similar systems (w 17" monitors) 3months ago for $450 each. Mine had 1700+, 512MB PC133, GF2-Pros & 60GB Hds.

I'm going with $400 at the most.
