I recently just built a custom computer and am looking to sell it to my friend.

2.8ghz pentium4 800mhz
512 mb pc2700 ram
400W power supply
128 mb 9600 Radeon video card
80 gb western digital hard drive 7200rpm
16x dvdr/52x cdrw
aluminum atx case
floppy drive

How much would you pay for this computer if you were theoretically interested in it.

$900-$1000... but only cos u used PC 2700... u should have used a motherboard with dual DDR, and 2 x 256Mb tuned corsair PC 3200 sticks of RAM... then i would have given u $1300 maybe... Good luck! :)

What make is the memory? the PSU? The opticals? What mobo is this running on? Here's my quick breakdown:

P4C-2.8 - $175USD
512MB PC2700 - $100USD
Radeon9600 - $150USD
HDD - $70USD
OPTICALS - $35USD
CASE+PSU+Floppy - $40USD

So my cost would be $570 plus the cost of the mobo. Anything atop of that is profit. Dont forget to charge labour.

Oh the psu is an antec.
I think the memory is pny. Maybe some other kind.
And the mobo is a MSI. I don't remember the exact name. But it was $150.
Praetor, you pretty much broke the costs down pretty well.

And to Fure. I'm going to get $1000. The equivalent Dell is $1800(that comes with monitor and speakers though). My friend is really willing to pay anything for it. And he said 1000 was really reasonable to him. It was a fun experiance, and I will do it again shortly for myself.
