I just thought I would ask what my system today would go for today, either with the monitor or just the base unit ?

I'm sure there are many with computers that are 5 years old and had a few addtional upgrades added to them.

What would you keep if you were upgrading to a new system such as I7 920 ?

No price checks outside of members market. If unsure what this is, may I recommend the FAQ.

That said, it's not worth very much in my eyes as it's dog slow. However socket 939 stuff seems to attract surprising prices, the trick will be in selling it to someone who wants socket 939, not selling to someone who wants a computer.

The psu is worthless. Congratulations for it living this long. Keeping if upgrading the system, monitor, mouse, keyboard, pci card if you can find drivers, dvd drive, possibly hard drive (it'll be slow compared to the new machine). XP is tied to your motherboard. That's it I'm afraid, your best shot is definitely starting over for the tower internals.

Members market would be a good place to look once you have access to it. Good luck.

I use a very simmilar system for my bedroom pc, for media. I would keep it for this purpose if you want a 2nd PC.

It will be worth more if striped down ans sold as parts, as 939 stuff is hard to get hold of - also the graphics car whilst old, is one of the fastest AGP cards, which also will make it attractive to anyone stuck on AGP who wants a better graphics card.

I'll close this, as mentioned no price checks outside of members market.
