Buying an iMac, But how much would my PC go for?

[freeman24]

Hey Guys! I know this is a longshot but here it goes.

I have decided for the first time to buy a Mac (iMac 24") in January, but i have no idea how much my PC would sell for. Im asking all PC geeks and switchers to give me a rough guide on how much my system would sell. Please be honest

Hyundai 19" CRT Monitor (ImageQuest Q995) http://img.clubic.com/photo/00061208.jpg

AMD Athlon 64 - 3000+
1GB Ram
160GB Hard Drive
ATI Radeon 9200 Pro
Gigabyte Motherboard (nVidia nForce3 ICP)

DVD-RW Drive
CD-RW Drive
Logitech Wireless Laser Mouse
Logitech UltraX Keyboard
USB Belkin wireless Adaptor

Thats really it! The case looks really nice . Im fed up now though of windows and after playing with a Mac for an hour I wanted to buy one there and then.

Cheers Guys!!

Well, I can't tell you what you could get for your system for sure, but for what it's worth, I was able to get $375 on craigslist.com for acustom-built machine with the following specs:

AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (32-bit for comparison's sake)
WD 120GB PATA HD
1GB DDR400 RAM
geForce4 Ti4600 Video
DVD-RW 16x
CD-RW 48X
Xterasys 802.11b PCI card (Wi-Fi)
350W PSU

I forget what motherboard was installed but it had built-in 5-channel audio, a decent chipset, ethernet, 4 USB (no firewire), etc. I did not sell this with a monitor, keyboard, mouse, or anything other than the computer itself and a power cable. It didn't even have an OS installed, nor did I include a copy of Windows.

Hope that gives you some idea.

that would've been my suggestion, actually. Just put it on eBay. I wouldn't take less than about $250 for it, though...
