Default What is my old PC worth?
Hi all,

I want a low powered file-server that I can leave on 24x7 rather than my main rig any time I want to stream things to the HTPC in the front room. I've upgraded my PC a while ago and I've got the majority of my old one sitting around doing nothing now, so I thought I'd sell it off to raise some money.

I cannibalised the HDD out of it when building my new one but other than that it is a complete unit. Specs are:

Shuttle SD39P2 (Comes with proprietary motherboard & 450w PSU that is surprisingly capable for it's size)
Q6600 (Never overclocked due to temps/space in the case/limitations of motherboard)
8GB DDR2-6400 (Mixture of 2x2GB Geil & 2x2GB Corsair I think)
XFX 4870XXX 1GB
DVD-RW

When I chucked it in, it still played everything acceptably (Mid-High settings in more or less everything @ 30ish FPS) except for BF3, which was too stuttery even at low - hence the upgrade.

The only problem is, it has an issue where when you start it up the BIOS has forgotten all the settings and goes back to default. You can press F1 to continue and it'll boot up fine with the default settings but if you go into the BIOS and try to change anything you might save, restart and have to repeat the process 10-15 times before it'll actually save the settings and start normally. Once it's started up however, its rock solid - it didn't use to bother me much as I'd run it 24x7 anyway but it definitely needs mentioning!

Any idea what I could get for this? Either as a complete unit or parted out.
