Ohhh, nice name.

>what is a real selling price

I would say about $ 1000-1200ish, it really depends on who buys it off you. A non-tech savvy buyer wouldn’t know how to compare prices, but a hardware techie will probably know the market prices by simply looking online or off by heart.

I would personally pay $ 1k for it, maximum. But if you stick it on eBay, put up some nice photos, make a professional selling page, you can lure in some buyers who would gladly pay more than a thousand for that rig.

The extra media center remotes and accessories should be sold separately, as you’ll obviously have 2 different crowds of people who want the computer simply for gaming while there are others who are looking for a HTPC.
List it as a separate auction instead of bundling them together.

What do you think? Answer below!
