[for sale] computer (maybe)

Hi i was wondering if anyone was interested in buying a computer from me (i'm not sure if i'd sell it but i'd like to have an idea if there's any interest)

Pentium 4 2 Ghz

512 Mb Ram

128 Mb Radeon 8500 LE

DVD

40 X CD-RW

80 g harddrive

WinXP PRO w/ SP2 AQUAFIED

TONS OF PROGRAMS

(Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Auditon, Sound Forge, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Office 2004,MATLAB)

Viewsonic 15 LCD ( VG 150 graphics edition )

I was thinking about like $1400

does that sound reasonable (again I'm not really trying to sell it just trying to gage the interest)

Considering the programs you have on there, the price sounds pretty reasonable. Is it legal, though?

-NC

P.S: Please don't make up tags...

#228729

Is there such a thing as Office 2004?

#228734

For Mac only :P

my bad office 2003

and technically yes the software is legal

meaning I got them pretty much for free from dept. of engineering

but i'm not sure how it works if i want to sell my computer

darnit i can't make use of the programs because i have them already so i can't take advantage of them. maybe you can make it a bit cheaper with fewer software would be nice :)

maybe you should use ebay or amazon. it's very inconvenient to use a forum to sell.

#228785

I think its way overpriced for what you have. And technically, YES your software is illegal... "got it pretty much for free", I would interpret that you do not own a valid licience yourself?

I think your system is waaaay overpriced.

On a similar note I might be willing to sell my PC if I find a good home for it. I was thinking about 1600 Canadian dollars (approx. 1300 USD)

Specs:

AthlonXP 2500+ CPU /w Thermaltake 7+ CPU Cooler

MSI K7N2 Delta nForce 2 based Mobo

512 MB DDR RAM

ATi Radeon 9600 Pro

ATi TV Wonder Card (with remote, infrared receiver)

80 GB Maxtor HDD 7200 rpm

19" NEC CRT Monitor

48x CD-RW Drive

24x DVD-ROM Drive

Logitech Elite Keyboard

Logitech MX500 Mouse

Func Surface 1030 Gaming Mouse Pad

Antec Case with see-through window (lights etc...)

It's about a year old and as you can see it was built with the PC gamer in mind. Just want your thoughts people....

#228925

I can get your system for like ~500. 1400? what are you smoking, idic?

#228952

@Sid

If it is 1 year old.. I would give you 700$ for everything.

#229063

yes i agree too. but i won't accuse you of being crazy though. :)

second hand stuff should be at most 2/3 of the original price, and should go down to 1/3 when it gets older. also, do not sell computers with programs because it's not fair for the buyer to buy a computer more expensive than the imac g5.

#229271

what am i smoking ??

nothing there are couple programs that are on my computer that probably cost more than 500 dollars

and yes i do have my license #'s but again i was just trying to gage peoples interest

How it works is that you're not allowed to leave that software installed on the computer if you sell it - you got the software because of the department's licensing schemes, and these will invariably state that they are non-transferrable.

In other words, selling the computer with these installed is illegal.

'Twas that not what I said? :P

#230491

btw did I mention that my PC comes with all kinds of forbidden Aqua goodies from back in the olden golden days?

#230495

Sid's computer sounds like a good deal, with that AMD +2500 you can overclock it to a +3200 with a good CPU cooler and some Artic Silver thermal paste ^^. Good deal cause a AMD +3200 costs around $200-$230.

#230700

As I said my system comes with a Thermaltake 7 Copper Cooler with a 6000 rpm 80mm fan on it. I do not overclock my system but I'm sure you'll get some good results with it. The board K7N2 Delta is known for handling overclocking well.

#230702

i got amost the same setup as Sid, for hsf i have got a volcano 11+ with fan controller, antec case with window (comes with 2 fans + will include 2 stealth fans) and sound controlled cold cathode etc, oh and a 9500 pro

wanted to sell it for around 1000~ without monitor
