Looking to get a price on a custom built PC I bought about 12 months ago for about £1100. Was bought for some video editing and gaming. However, looking to downsize and I no longer need a tower of this power/size.

 

Anyone know of any companies that buy them? Dont want to go through ebay if it can be helped.

Oof! Nice rig, if I could afford it I'd have it off you. :grin:

 

Besides Gumtree I'd say eBay is your best bet, despite wanting to avoid it. Maybe post an ad up at the Uni?

 

IT is a fab rig and I am just looking to see what I can get for it at the moment. Would only part if the price is right. Should have mentioned it also has another year parts and labour. But I havent really had my moneys worth out of it if truth be told and am looking for something a little smaller in size.

Cheers for the input lads

 

Just quoted a near identical spec PC from where i bought it from, seems like brand new it would be going for around the £1000. Tis looking like will hang onto it until the warranty runs out anyway unless I can recoup a good 2/3 of the cost. Really dont wanna go through fleabay
