overclucker · 06-14-08, 04:56 PM

i got a xbox 360 and NEVER play my PC anymore.. i know its just becoming more obsolete as time goes on.. would i make more $$ if i sold it part for part? or just whole?

it has 4 80GB 10k raptors
a fx57
2 7800gtx's
a asus sli prem board
2gb's of ram 3-3-3-5 DDR2
all with copper cooling.

parts for sure

I think you will have more luck selling the parts then the hole system although you may end up with something that just doesn't sell.

boarderjw · 06-14-08, 07:10 PM

you could probably still sell most of those for parts.

all copper cooling like what?

Parting that system out will net you a nice little chunk of change. I'd check on the classifieds to get an idea of some going rates.

I agree with everyone. Parting it out is the way to go.

The 2 Graphics cards and 4 Hard drives will get more money parted then the system as a whole
