Used computers don't hold their value very well. Figure the cost of the items minus 30% or so...about $1100. But I wouldn't spend over $1000 for a used computer.

Used PC's do not hold much value. I personally figure about 50% of new prices.

You'd probably be better off parting it out and selling on forum sites or eBay. As was mentioned, used PC's rarely reach even 50% of their component price. Looking at your rig, I'd guess $800 or so as a whole, parted out probably closer to $1000-1100.

Just curious - why do you want to sell it? Are you going to replace it?

In that case, I'd part it out and keep some parts for the new build. It may be more of a hassle and take longer, but you won't lose so much money.

I'd just switch out the motherboard and processor to a Core 2 Duo setup. What kind of memory do you have there? Should be able to use it with a new Core 2 Duo build.
