    Nord's Wharf? Swansea, Gorokan? Where do you live, Middle Earth?? Crazy New South Welsh places

    Looking for around $600 hey... Honestly, I'm not sure it will sell for even that much anymore. Depreciation of computers is ****ing shocking when you're try to sell... Not including the speakers, mouse and keyboard, you could probably get a substantially better pc for around the same, maybe a little bit more. Including the speakers, mouse and keyboard will do you a favour,but I dunno.

    Only 1GB DDR and only 230gb HDD... Those are below average specs now, and the video card will have dropped in value massively. You may have to settle for under $600 if you really want to sell this.

    Yeah i know that computer prices drop like you wouldn't believe, i put 600 but am always open for offers :P. You would be surprised how many computers in retail shops still have 160 - 250gig hdds in them. Yeah the Graphics card isn't top of the line and has dropped in Price. LOL and Yes out the middle of Bloody nowhere, we have just moved here and I can ride around this whole town in under 5minutes. Its about half an hour south of Newcastle and about an hour north of Gosford.

    Just to give you an idea.....

    A Medion computer from Aldi stores is now $699 brand new.
    It comes with 2gb ram, intel q6600 quad core cpu, a 19" monitor, a 200g hard and a full warranty.

    You would be lucky to get $50 for an Acer if you find someone gullible enough to buy it IE: put it on ebay lol.

    i paid $3500 for mine and built it myself.. id be lucky to get a grand for it.

    but yeah... either ebay or gumtree

    Ok Guys... I'm open to offers for the complete system and I'll also throw in the desk it is sitting on. If you would like pics, just ask and I'll send some or put some up here.
