Upgradin' the Media Center PC...

Nakatomi2010

So, it's that time of year again and Intel is going to start their 2007 Retailedge purchase bundle orders soon, that means I'm getting an upgrade... Thing is I need to sell off the old equipment to get money for the new equipment...

This year I'm going to go for the 249.99 bundle, a Core 2 Quad Q6700 CPU, the G33TL motherboard and Vista Home premium.... (Those who are curious for 219.99 you get the Q6600 instead of the Q6700)

Now, the process will go into my gaming rig, and the board will go into the media center PC... The processor the Media Center PC will get last year's Core 2 Duo E6300 processor... So... The problem...

The motherboard Intel is doing this year is a Micro ATX board, with only ONE PCI slot... I got 3 PCI devices... An X-Mystique 7.1 Dolby Digital card, an HVR-1600 TV Tuner card, and a Wireless N network card... Obviously I'll have to dump the sound card and the TV Tuner card... For audio I'll probably use the onboard audio, assuming it does well... TV tuner wise I'll need to grab an HVR-1800.... Anyways...


I need an opinion.... The parts in my media center PC are as follows..

Athlon 64 3200+ (Single Core)
Asus A8N-E Deluxe (2004 AMD Purchase bundle)
2GB DDR RAM (4 sticks of 512MB PC3200)
Zalman 7700 ALCu (I'm sure I got the model wrong, but it's the HS/F that has copper and alluminum fins)
Bluegears X-Mystique sound card
Linksys Wireless-N
Hauppauge HVR-1600
ATi X700 Pro
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit

Now.... The opinion part... I'm probably only going to only keep the Wireless card and the video card, everything else will go up on eBay... Including a copy of Windows Vista Home Premium... the question is do I ebay things seperatly, or as a bundle? Idealisticly I want as much as 400 dollars for everything, INCLUDING a valid Vista Home Premium product key... 600 would be nice, the goal is to make enough money to buy the HVR-1800, Windows Home Server, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, and anything left over would go towards a new video card....

What would be the best way to sell it, bundled, individually, semi-bundles?

I'd Fuck Chuck Lidell Up

i highly doubt you are going to get 400 for those together or seperately

however if you are selling them on ebay your best bet is going to be to put them up seperately

if you are going to sell it nowish, get a case for them and sell them as a whole computer

you might get someone who is looking for a good used computer for christmas who doesn't know what they're doing and just wants a prebuilt

however i would expect somewhere around 300-350 tops
