It depends. If you are trying to sell it to a computer illiterate person, you may be able to get what you paid for it or slightly under. If it's a computer literate person, it's kind of like a value of a new car--as soon as you drive it off the lot, the value drops dramatically..even though it's only slightly used. I'd say 70-75% of what you paid for it possibly. But you should expect slightly lower. I know it's kind of a bummer, but that's just how the technology works. It's the same for lots of other technology items...music equipment and instruments, TVs, etc., etc.

Ah. And I'm not sure where you ordered from, but you can price it out here. This will give you a good indication of a starting point.

I will add that your computer specs you listed is missing a very important part to a whole lot of people: a video card. Most people that need that much power are most likely going to be doing something that is video intensive, such as gaming. I wouldn't be surprised if you had a difficult time selling it at a price you are looking for without a video card.

oh wow, fail on my part. I didn't pickup the HD 4890 number like I normally would if it was an Nvidia card. I haven't been keeping up with ATi's stuff ever since AMD bought them. That, I forgot about diamond's too. My bad.
