    I love building computers from scratch, and i was thinking I could maybe do this, and sell the computers I make on Ebay for a small profit. So thats why I need your opinion. Can anyone tell me how much they think a computer with the specs below would go for on ebay?

    3.0 Ghz processor - Pentium 4
    2 GB of ram
    160 GB hard drive
    CD Drive/burner
    A great ATi Radeon 9200 graphics card

    btw, i posted this awhile ago and got responses like "these arnt very good specs". im just looking for what something like this would be worth

    I would say you should go for 4 GB RAM.

    Also better take a DVD Writer. :) THat would be good.

    And use a Dual Core processor.

    Good Luck

    I think if you have limited amount of budget! then current specification also suitable for a normal pc

    Like the previous post says, if your tight on money it will work fine, but if you can maybe just bump that ram to 4gb

    Take a look at a site like BestBuy and see what they're offering computers for. I found a dual core processor for $329 with 3gb of memory, and users are going to expect it to be even cheaper when it's a generic computer on Ebay.

    I would say somewhere in the low $200 range.
