    Yeah, I'd say the $700-800 price range is fair since you're including the monitor. Do you plan on selling it with Windows installed?

    i could put windows on it but dont have a legit copy to sell along with it :/

    Yeah, I would say $800 is more than fair, especially with the LCD, and if it includes a legal copy of windows 7.

    No legit copy of windows or anything. Unless you have a friend to buy it I wouldn't pay more than $500 for it off craigslist.

    $500 what? This feels like an episode of Pawn Stars.

    This box is almost identical to mine. I paid 750 without the monitor.

    I think 750 is a good deal considering it's 2nd hand.

    Even without Windows 7, That is still a really decent gaming Rig. I'd give about $650-700 without the copy of Windows on it, if the monitor wasn't scratched up. And the case was nice and clean (no scratches, dents or anything).

    Also, I've noticed this, if you buy new case fans for it (they are really cheap) people will usually add a bit to the price. At least in my experience. People like new fans.

    But this computer isn't new. So it will not and should not be worth its new-price.

    This. While it is a nice rig, certainly better than mine. It is used and therefore the buyer has all the power. Like I said could probably get more from a friend who knows your situation and is a gamer. If I was looking on craigslist I wouldn't offer more than 500 for it.
