Computer Tower w/ Clear Acrylic Case & HDMI

I purchased this computer last year from a friend. Here's what I know about it:

Acrylic Clear Case - full tower
480 Watt Power Supply
I'm not sure which motherboard is installed
3 AUX fans that run constantly (blue clear)
Intel Processor (not sure which one)
Windows XP OS w/ reboot disc
250GB Harddrive
1GB RAM DDR
LG DVD-RW Drive
extra CD-R Drive
2 expansion slots still available for disc drives
3 expansion slots available for hard drives
There are black lights that run the 4 corners of the case that come with a switch
I have added a DVI/HDMI output video card w/ 1gb RAM
Logitec Wireless keyboard & mouse included
There is currently a wireless card (dual band) installed as well, but this would only be included for an extra $40
The tower is currently hooked upto my 46" TV and runs very well. The system will be rebooted as from the factory with no previous files/programs and just the operating system and basic setup.

I also have an extra power supply for clear cases that has blue wrap around all the wiring, but not sure if it works. Will be included in purchase.

$300/obo or $340 w/wireless card

Shipping to the lower continental would be about $30

Go and download a little app called "CPU-Z" it will tell you exactly what processor it has.

Also if you right click on my computer and go to Properties->Hardware->Device Manager->Display adapters it should tell you what video card it is.

Without knowing that is like saying "this car might have a 4 banger or might have a V12" ;-)

Here you go, and its free!!!

http://www.cpuid.com/

It will tell you what processor the computer has as well as:
How much cache.
How much memory.
What kind of memory.
What video card it has.
What OS it has.
What mother board it has.
What bios version.

And the best part, it will save this info in a .txt file so you can show
it to potential buyers!!!!

I know. I just haven't had time. The photos are from when I first got the thing setup. I know it's a single core from when I first got it and pretty sure it is only about a 1.8-2GHz processor, but it is an older VGA motherboard rather than PCI-Express, so it's not easily expandable. The case and some of the other items are what really make it worth anything. I was going to update the motherboard & processor, but I'm just going to buy an entire new tower and start over.

A new acrylic case would be about $75
The HD video card was $90
motherboard/CPU combo - $150 for something near similar
250GB HD - $55
LG DVD-RW - $55
CD-R drive - $20
Floppy Drive - $15
480W Power Supply - $35
Fans - $30
XP OS - $75

Roughly $600 plus a dual band wireless board.

It's a good starter computer or a backup. If it doesn't sell, I'll buy a new one and gut it to put into this and just sell all the extra parts.

PS - I'm at work right now, and my home computer doesn't get much use.

Sorry but the computer is not worth $300.

I can build a full dual core computer with 3x higher 3Dmarks at about the same price :/

You may want to look at Ebay or Newegg to get a better idea of pricing...like a DVD-RW drive costs $18 these days, not $55 and the CPU's are selling on Ebay for $5 or less.

Unfortunately, I agree with the two above me. You can get maybe $75-100 for the whole thing. Technolgy is outdated so quickly, it would be a waste for someone to put out money for those specs. Take what you can get, or I suggest you just keep it. Maybe throw it in another room and use it as a media player/internet browser for a tv.
