What's my crap worth anyway?

[CyberDruid]

I just woke up today with a bug up my butt to see what my Daily Driver is worth. I mean stuff devalues so fast even though it's a couple of months old I have no idea. I know what I paid...but what is it worth?

Soooo

If you feel like it give this pile of gear a dollar value.

Thanks in advance.

HW Cooling: 2 d-tek FuZion CPU Waterblocks, 2 EK full coverage Nickleplated copper GFX waterblocks, EK MCH waterblock, BlastFlow SB waterblock.

External Cooler: custom fabricated chassis of 1/8" thick aluminum extrusions with 1/4" Lexan (unbreakable) pebble-grain panels encloses 3 Thermochill PA 120.3 radiators plumbed in series with a pair of IwakiRD30 pumps powered from a Meanwell S150-24. 9 Scythe S-Flex fans are powered from an Emtel 12V PSU and controlled from a stout rheostat. Twin EK cylinder reservoirs assure the system is easy to maintain and monitor. The entire enclosure is lined with 1" Sonex sound dampening material applied to the acrylic panels. Every part is easily accessible. All trims and panels are held in place with machine screws (button head torx drive 8-32). The flow is controlled and ditrbuted by a valved manifold constructed of brass 3/8 NPT T fittings and ball valves and barbs. There are 8 3/8-NPT ball valve, 6 3/8-NPT, 4 3/8-NPT nipples, and 8 3/8 NPT to 1/2" ID barbed fittings in custom 1/2" acrylic enclosure that protects and stabilizes them. This Metering manifold distributes the loop into three subloops. The 3 loops are CPUs, GPUs, and Chipset blocks. The cooler is very quiet in operation and allows for maximum OC of all components with maximum cooling. The intake is filtered and the filter is easy to remove, clean and reinstall without tools. The system is easy to fill or drain or bleed. Any of the subloops can be serviced without draining the loop entirely...and the lines are plumbed through one of the 92mm exhaust ports of the Soldam so accessing the blocks or HW is extremely easy.

lol that's a mouthful...

Well I am curious to see what this chunk of my psyche is worth...what does a used e-peen go for these days:shrug:

[Brave758]

Lol more spare cash than i have at the moment mate

[CyberDruid]

I blame all of this on OverClocking...

[[XC] gomeler]

I believe that is all worth about 8.5 inches of e-Peen. As for an e-Peen to $$ conversion, that's hard to say as the market is very finicky on that bit.

[Sparky]

Its worthless, but I'll be generous and give you $100.

[CyberDruid]

If you had to sell your rig or your ride which would you do first???

[YukonTrooper]

I'll pay shipping.

[Movieman]

If you had to sell your rig or your ride which would you do first???

My rig is worth more than my ride..
1995 Intrepid..:rofl:
As to your stuff, still state of the art so still worth top money.
Figure 70-75% of retail.
That case, probably 100% of retail if unscratched.
Really sweet case:up:

[Sparky]

If you had to sell your rig or your ride which would you do first???

If I had only one car I'd sell the PC. Easy to get a really dirt cheap PC to do what you need and be stable compared to selling the car and having either nothing or some hunk-of-junk $200 car that could break down at any moment.

Thing is, a car might get you more than a PC. If you had a car you could sell for $12k for example, I'd do that and then buy a $3k or $4k car that would still work fine but that would get you $8k cash. I guess it depends on how much money you need.

[systemviper]

so where's the pics?

[Omastar]

I dunno. $6,000?

Lol we use the same keyb/mouse/headphones. I changed my mouse to a deathadder recently though.

[[XC] riptide]

Cyber. 5k Euro in Europe. Maybe more. That case sure is a gem, dude.

[CyberDruid]

Thx all. I appreciate the insight and humor.

[MikeB12]

there's worse ways to part with your money... booze and table dances to name a few. or an expensive cruise or resort vacation... you've more out of that equipment than any of those can provide in a short clip.

[CyberDruid]

It's about like a 3 8-ball a week tailspin...

[[XC] moddolicous]

How much did that case cost to import? I have always wanted to get it, but not for $600+.

The case cost me $580, but it was used and included a number of costly accessories. The NRS upgrade alone adds a couple of hundred to the base XR-1. The seller indicated the case was more like $700 new with the included Bay covers, PSU and exhaust shroud, NRS and decoupling feet. DHL wanted $375 to ship from Singapore to the US. The seller was kind enough to arrange transport on a JAL flight with a friend who then shipped in the CONUS. This still cost me because I felt it only fair to compensate the second party shipper for her time.
