Take a few minutes and see what the retail price is for each component, then maybe cut it in half?

I personally wouldn't pay much, maybe 100-150 simply because it is used, overclocked, and probably run hard.
Best line yet...

Its only saving graces are the PSU and case... pretty much every other component is now outdated, and Vista is... bugh!

I wouldn't pay more than $250 ($75 for the case, $75 for the PSU, $100 for the other components) for it personally due to the lack of any upgrade paths, although you could probably squeeze $350-500 out of an unsuspecting non-techie consumer :)

Sold my Q9550 couple months ago for 150€, in Finland though. Following estimate prices also what you would get in Finland

Mobo = around 70€
Memorys = around 70€
GPU = around 70€

I would keep these parts for your next rig and sell off the rest.

Make sure you note the serial numbers of each item and include them in your ebay listing. It is very common to get ripped off on ebay for PC parts. People buy them and replace there faulty part with the one they bought of you, then say the part dont work and send you back there old broken part.

Its sad but happens alot.
