Right, to explain:

I have a friend that currently is playing VIETNAM on a laptop, its an ACER P.O.C! (Work out Hyphernyms) So he thought that he'd better get a desktop to play games with (Obviously), I have an old PC doing BOINC work pour moi, so it is a secondary PC to say the least. I know that it is well capable of doing everything that he needs, what I am asking is "How much should I sell it for?"

Run-down on what I will sell:

Gigabyte GA-M61VME-S1
BFG - Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS (OC)
2Gb Corsair Memory

No hard drive as he will give me that as a given, will also install (Potentially) Windows 7 but I would prefer to do XP. I have to do the construction and installation work. Everything else going onto to the PC is already here per se. Looking on eBay Mo'Fo's I am looking at about £40 for the seperate parts, but as it is a friend how do you guys think I should charge? ATM I have said a 25 bag Any help or criticism would be greatly appreciated, I will "Karma" people appropiatley
Oh and yeah I will give the above away if people will pay postage!

If I were you I would just charge for the parts you actually buy, and maybe $50 for that hardware if you were ever considering using it again.

You'll want more than 2 gigs of ram if you want Win7 and be able to play any video game.

N'really. But it helps.
My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.

Just get XP for it. He can upgrade it later if he wants.

Thanks guys (So far, I'll wait to see what other people say) for your input, what your basically saying is that the hardware isn't particulary worth anything but my time is? Which I completly understand as many people have said that to me and I agree in essence, but I have a gullable friend that doesn't know that much and never will! Sorry worse case scenario! I don't mean to rip him off at all but would like to make a bit of money TBH, I have said that if he buys me a baggy then he can have the PC, but he is making an effort and working out how he can make it aesthitically better (Spelt wrong!) So my concern is about £20 - £30 pounds, is this too much?
