I buy/sell my stuff on Anandtech.com (http://forums.anandtech.com/) and HardOCP (http://hardforum.com/) - look there for a place to sell your stuff. Most people like it "parted" instead of being sold as a "whole".

This is true for ebay as well, you'll have better luck and less chance of something getting damaged if you part it out and sell it in pieces rather than a whole machine. I tried to sell my desktop about 6 or so months ago via ebay as I bought a laptop to replace it. My desktop is nothing special as its about 2 years old now, it sold for $450 on ebay but the mobo somehow got damaged in shipping. I shipped it as a complete machine with a valid copy of windows. So needless to say I had to refund the buyer his money, luckily the mobo was still under warranty so I contacted Asus, and well had to ship them the mobo twice, but its fixed and the machine runs brand new again. I trie dto sell it out a couple more times locally but as we know with computers, especially desktops, people would rather invest their money on something newer than older hard ware.

Not a bad desktop though specs are:

Intel Core 2 Quad q6600 OC'd to 3.0ghz
Asus P5N-D 750i mobo
PNY DDR2 800 4gb 2 x 2gb sticks dual channel
GeForce GTX 275 w 896mb of GDDR3 ram
Soundblaster Audigy 4
WD 250gb SATA drive
SATA DVD RW DL
Customized Black ATX case with Dragon etched into the side window
Dual Black Cold Cathode Light kit
Floppy Drive/ Card reader combo
Windows Vista Home Premium x64

Other mods: Took out the red IDE light on the case, replaced it with a UV LED
Replaced the green LEDS in the floppy and DVD rom for bule LEDS.
