I think I've seen similar systems from Dell for over £1,000.

I'm a he, and only won one comp:beer:

The first spec was what I was offered originally; the second spec is what I should have been offered.

HappyJanner

I now have the second system that I posted on here and was wondering if any of you techie minded souls would know the best place to sell it?

HappyJanner

Sorry for bumping this, but I'd thought I'd try to get some ideas as I feel like I'm going around in circles.

Speaking to some local computer suppliers, they have basically said it's a cracking system, but wouldn't know where to shift it, and suggested E-Bay. So looked at E-Bay, and e-mailed a couple of computer companies on there, and their only response is that it might be better to strip it down to component form and sell it that way.

Not knowing the first thing about stripping computers, any one got any suggestions, hints, tips that they would like to impart in my direction? Obviously it's not something I would consider doing myself, but it's frustrating sitting looking at it when I could use the value tied up in it to much better use.

TIA
