FS: HTPC/Desktop + Computers/components/satellite/phones

I've decided to clear out a lot of the computer and multimedia/communications equipment I've collected over the years.

The main computer I want to sell has the following specs:

Inwin BK-623 Case (one of the smallest cases that takes full-height PCI cards and optical drive, review here http://www.bigbruin.com/2007/inwinmtjade_1 )
Asus M2N-VM DVI motherboard
AMD 64 X2 4200+ Dual Core CPU
2 GB (2 * 1GB) DDR2-800 RAM (4 slots total, so 2 empty)
320GB 7200RPM Seagate Hard Drive
LG DVD-RW (Works fine when horizontal, doesn't always open when vertical, am happy to replace if you bring your own)

Am now using a laptop day-to-day, so want to sell this system. It'd make a good HTPC or desktop PC for everyday use. I currently have it running a University MSDN copy of Vista, but will reformat and install the 90-day trial version of Windows 7 Enterprise for the buyer.

I have a Hauppauge HVR-3000 DVB-S/DVB-T/analog TV tuner currently in this machine, am happy to sell the computer with or without this card. The same applies for the 22" LCD currently connected (one dead pixel, barely noticeable).

I also have a number of older computers (both laptops and desktops) for sale, as well as satellite receivers, cellphones, various components (PCI and USB cards, hard drives, RAM, speakers, LCD and CRT displays, multifunction printers, GPS receivers, plenty of various cables as well as some software, games and DVD's), so if you're after anything please ask as I may have it.

I'm located in Auckland. I'm willing to post to Hamilton at your cost.

I only have integrated graphics in the HTPC currently (Geforce 7050PV). It can play H.264 fine with CoreAVC, and usually without it as well. There is a PCI-E slot if you want to upgrade. 

Unfortunately the only 2.5" SATA HDD I have is in my main laptop. I have a spare 80GB 3.5" SATA HDD though.

xpd: What are the desktops ?

In addition to the HTPC, I have the following desktops (mostly collections of spare parts).

An old Dell Desktop (Celeron 2.4Ghz, 640MB RAM, 20GB HD, etc).
An AMD 1800+ system (256MB RAM, 6GB HD, AGP GeForce 2, Creative Soundblaster, etc, currently running Windows 98).

The laptop's an old IBM Thinkpad X21 (P-3 700Mhz, 256MB RAM, 20/80GB HD (have a spare)). Getting on in age, but completely silent except for the HDD. I've been using it for bittorrent and downloads for a few years.

I have one USB GPS receiver, and an old HTC Titan with upgraded firmware that I've been playing around with as a GPS/Wifi PDA (has the GPSOne chipset).

If you're interested in anything make an offer.

Regards,
Michael

I'm not sure exactly, but I'd want around $40-$50 for it. It has a SirfStarIII chipset and an external antenna.

nedkelly: hmm is the Titan on Telecom's CDMA?


Yes, it is (or was). The firmware I've installed on it is unofficial and although I've done my best to ensure it can still be used on Telecom's CDMA, I haven't tested this. The phone is currently disconnected.

Again, I'm not entirely sure what this is worth.

I'd say $140 for the laptop with 20GB HD, USB GPS, docking station and external floppy drive or $160 if you want the 80GB HD.

$10 more and I'll add an 802.11g wifi PCMCIA card.
