My machine will soon be going up for sale at my college's end of the year swap meet so that I can buy a nice laptop for grad school. I'm not sure what price to put on it though, I'm thinking $1300?? Let me know what you think. Thanks )

I custom built this system in July of 2001. It has never been overclocked and is in perfect working order.

I would not sell it as is because it will be hard to get $1300 on a 1.2 Ghz. system. There are Dell deals for P4 2 Ghz systems for $649 out there right now. I'd yank one of the DDR sticks and 3 of the hard drives (leave one 40 GB in the system) and sell that stuff separately. Then sell the system for about $600-650 and you can maybe get another $150 for the monitor depending on the brand/model.
I'd have to agree with Rainguy. Most folks are going to compare your asking price with the current OEM "Specials" and give you a lot of grief. But then again, most of those folks don't stop to consider that most of those OEM "Specials" use a lot of integrated motherboards and components that are probably several notches below yours in quality and capability.

i agree with the above... and the other issue is if you sell it to a non-computer savvy person, you going to support it? Thats another advantage of buying a new one versus yours... you have to take that into consideration as well
