Site to value my PC

I was planning to replace my gaming PC next year when it wouldn't be able to play new games @ max settings, however I will be coming into some insurance money soon (not enough in itself, but with money from my old machine it will be close).

This gives me a chance to sell my PC as a gaming machine, but can't find a site to value it (I built it myself) & ebay has no similar systems.

Can someone point me in the direction of a site that would give an honest value (I know the figure that I will get won't be the same as I'm hoping for)

    Anything 2 years old, a couple of hundred quid tops. Anything 3 years old or more, £100 or so.

    Whatever you think its worth, halve it.

    I'm not aware of any site that does such a thing, but the value of your machine anywhere in the world if it is in excellent condition and less that six moths old is half of its retail and a third of its cost.
