Selling Main PC, Need some cash. Is this resonable?

I'm going to put it up on the bulletin board at work to see if I can sell it. I know some of these parts you can get for cheap on the net. But if someone wanted to buy a whole system put together would this be a resonable asking price. Of course I would go to the house of the person buying it and set it all up and everything for them.
Let me know what you think.

Remember I know you guy's could build it for much cheaper. But this is a system with all the software preinstalled and everythign preassembled already. No work involved for the buyer. So is it a decent asking price in your opinion?

uh the software is worth that much... i charge my clients about $1600-$1800 for a setup verry similar to that one...(with windows xp only no apps no games...)

Maybe I'll up it to $1000 then.

Photoshop = $649

Crank it up higher if you are giving the software with it... or do you just have the bootleg version?

Not bootleged. But it is a limited addition I got with a harddrive or something in the past.

I think you can get $1000, especially if you do the old "I'm the computer guy and if it bombs out I'll help you fix it" routine. Just gotta get ahold of your rich computer illiterate buddies!

That's the whole plan
I'm gonna print it out and take it to work on Monday. Then they'll hang it on the Bulletin board so everyone will see it. I'll go to there house and set it all up for them and everything.

I sure hope it sells. That will get me thru the Holiday's and in January I can start building a brand new Box from scratch. Been a while since I've been able to do that for myself. I can't wait. I think I may try the Intel side of thing's this time. It's been a couple of years since I been on the other side. Those northwood's are tasty looking considering how good they overclock.
I did build a system for a guy I work with with a 1.6 gig northwood. I must say I was pretty impressed with it performance wise. I wanted to overclock it SO BAD just to see what it would do but I did'nt.

well, for that price i wouldn't put 'or best offer' at the end. that system is well worth $1,000, you don't want to start haggling the price.
