Wow...this one is tough for me......

With out looking any of the actual prices up, I would guess some where between 800 and 1200 USD

But like I said...this one is tough for me. I typically don't work with Servers.

are these brand new parts or used. If used prices should be lower.

i.e the cpu heatsinks you quoted the new parts price.
the HD are worth 80.00 new with free shipping @ newegg
what kind of case? which nvidia card?


the best way to do this would be to find the current prices then discount used and refurbed state on them.

my 2 cents

havent i already posted what you asked?

i dont remember where i got the hdd's from but what i paid was the cheapest price available at the time...

the prices listed dont even include stuff like cables or the silencing kit thats on it as well as a few other thing i had to buy.

My question was rhetorical. (i.e "havent i already posted what you asked?" ,was that a real question?)

i dont remember where i got the hdd's from but what i paid was the cheapest price available at the time...

If i could sell things near the price i paid for them a while ago , i'd be rich. ( i.e an ibm 386 for 8000.00 back in the day)

the prices listed dont even include stuff like cables or the silencing kit thats on it as well as a few other thing i had to buy

most retail kits come with cables and the like , and an expensive case should have some pretty good silencing. (i.e most server cases have sound dampening liners)


Im not trying to beat down your config or pricing, im trying to answer your original question and putting the pricing scheme within perspective.

I do apologize if it may have sounded wrong.


so to answer this question "what do you think this is worth? " I think we need more info OR


the best way to do this would be to find the current prices then discount used and refurbed state on them.

ram 2gb pc3200 ecc - Google Product Search

mobo asus k8n-dre - Google Product Search

hdd seagate baracuda 1tb 7200rpm sata - Google Product Search

cpu opteron 280 - Google Product Search

psu a-power 850w psu - Google Product Search

cpu sinks Dynatron Opteron Active Heatsink socket - Google Product Search

this was never used in a server environment. if anything it was used more as a workstation for between 5-20min a day. theres been hardly any use on it on my part. all i do is print packing slips and shipping labels with it. thats why im trying to find out how much i should sell it for.
