I would probably say closer to 400 seeing as how it's got a monitor, 500gb hard drive, and a 3000mhz front side bus... also it's a decent graphics card... but the 2gb of ram brings the whole value down... Right now, used, I would give it a value of about 400. If you have the 64bit of vista though, I would recommend upgrading to 4gb of ram, then it would be worth probably around 550 or even 600...

You do realize that they're speaking in English Pounds, don't you? At the current exchange rate, that would make that computer worth $900.00 USD @ your highest estimate. The UK's prices are higher than ours, with the VAT on new equipment, but still, $900.00 used?
Also. I find it inexplicable that you think adding $50.00 worth of RAM would raise the value up to possibly as much as 200.00 (whichever monetary unit you're using), which is actually $300.00 in USD..

A used 17" monitor really isn't that much of a selling point, with brand new 22" inchers frequently on sale at about $150.00 (USD), or thereabouts. And yes, I know I'm speaking to our US shopping environment with that estimate..

Not to mention the thread is almost 2 months old.
