Realistically it isn't worth more than say 500 to 700 dollars.

Which is sad cos it's an alright computer for average stuff.

The problem is that Dell and whatnot have pc's with LCD monitors and what not for around 800 or so bucks so that kills the second hand market.

I personally think $600 is a little too much. :(

I would think $400 is reasonable on the basis of what you can get if you buy the system new.

$109 - AMD Semphron64 2800+

$105 - Gigabyte K8NS 754 M/board

$069 - PC3200 Kingston Ram 2 x 256mb = 512mb Total (OR $139 for 1GB)

$065 - Gigabyte ATI 9250 128mb Agp Vid Card

$099 - AOPEN 350w Decent quality Case and PSU

$080 - LG 4167B DVD Burner

$075 - 80GB 7200rpm 8mb Cache Hard Drive

$050 - Second hand 17" Monitor

-----

$652

Selling computers is sad. :P

I would most likely keep it and turn it in to a linux box.

Run IPCOP on it and use the 40gb had drive as a nice little web cache

There are people that have $600 don't look in to what else is available and may stumble upon your system for $600 and buy it so, give it a shot if you sell it BONUS. :(

I actually bought a tower which is better in every way bar the video brand new for $450 from www.zipcomputers.com.au

It's the budget box. With monitor and your vid card you would probably be able to sell it for a bit more if your lucky or around that price.

Good luck!!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
