Kniwor, you sold a pIII with monitor for 2.5k , thats really too low.3 months back when i purchased a new system i had a P3. I enquired about its selling price(w/o monitor). Some body had offered it for 4k. I thought it would better be with me rather than selling it off. So i kept the system to myself. Now i guess i need another monitor to get that system running. May be i can get a second hand monitor (color) for 1.5k

right ... u can max get upto 5K..not more then it...
so my suggestion is not to sell ur PC...
use it as just a music box/game box...just keep it man...
and take new one...keep this one also...

@kjuvale its better to keep it. Just add a old ATi video card with TV-out, Install geexbox and make an IR receiver urself (see the tutorials section for that) . Wow now you have a DVD/ACD/MP3/DivX/Xvid player to connect to yout TV. Dispose the monitor for 1-1.8K. That'll take care of the cost of the video card & ir receiver !!! I really repent for having sold my first PC :-(

well thank u very much but we do not call that dumbness..

i can sell things at unreasonable price to my known ones to... but i would not like to do that....

Well what does it mean?
I think that people use etc etc to show that they no more but they don't.
