About $8-850 brand new, so maybe $6-700?

plus whatever you get for the monitor.

Eh, I'm pretty sure you could save quite a bit if you didn't buy it pre-built...

This. Computers lose value faster than cars. Try selling this on an overclock or computer forum & they'll tell you $300-$400 at best.

Nice computer though. GLWS.

That is true, I build tons of computers, almost have to build every year to keep up ...at about a standstill though right now since it makes not much since to build any higher than a dual core at this time due to the apps not utilizing it completely. But, I'm sure people would argue about needing the biggest 'PC stick' to justify building higher end PCs. But the same PC I built a year ago for $1000 just in parts probably would cost 500-600 today..so value not so high.

i revised the ram, that was a typo

those sticks probably retail for about $70-80 set, but used ram prices are crap considering all the huge rebates that accompany them at various times

I don't think that processor is still worth that much, I agree with the rest of your appraisal Scoobydoo.

Close to $400 or so. No way its worth more than $500 though. You can built that computer almost brand new for around $600 or so.

I'm thinking about building a new PC next month... When is the next gen of ICore7 processor's due out? I'll wait to buy the componenets after that and maybe after the next ATI card comes out to see the price drops.

Also looking forward to working in Windows 7...
