Title: Best Way to Recoup Costs of Old Computer (about 5 years old)?
Post by: TechnoEthicist on January 13, 2012, 03:41:02 PM

These parts are good:
150.00 Thermaltake case
150.00 (Used Value) Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs)
50.00 4 GB 2x OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2N10662GK

From what I read it's more likely the video card overheated playing ToR than the motherboard being fried, so I could probably include that as working as well....

I would like to get between 100.00-300.00 back from my investment. Ideas? Craigslist and meet at a library or McDonalds? Is there a market for used parts?

I'd say ebay before Craigslist.

Can you take a picture of the case, Brad? I'm looking at purchasing the parts to build a cheap PC (in the $3-400 region), and a case would be something I'd need. If I like the look of it, I'd be happy to purchase it from you, unless you're trying to sell these together.
