Not much I'm afraid
I'm sitting with a couple spare ones (Intel Quadcore with 8GB ram including 64bit OS license) built in 2008 and I can't even get anybody to buy it for $50 each. Gave one away the other day. Probably will end up giving away the others also

Maybe for this one you've got here, $80? not more than $100 I'm geussing

See what similar things go for on Ebay maybe?

This one is more like it, worth more than the 1st one I'd say
The Quadro is probably 1 GB, not 1MB

Are you looking to buy these, or sell?
Because I wouldnt buy it for today's rendering, even if it's cheap

[glorybound]

I am looking to buy, but for cheap. The second one has a $2000 video card in it. Maybe, everything for $1000? Or, my thought is for stills, the card is overkill.

[Neilg]

The second one has a $2000 video card in it.

One that's outperformed by a $200 card...

[joconnell]

The guys from uncharted territory that did films like 2012 buy workstations at the start of a project and sell them immediately afterwards so that's about a 10 / 12 month turnaround. Must see can I find out what the rate is.

[glorybound]

That is interesting. Let us know what you find out. These have been sitting around for years.

[joconnell]

I think the only reason they do well on it is by selling computers that are still current. Older ones people won't want as much.

[glorybound]

Any word on this?

[Morne]

Bobby I wouldnt buy that system. Even both those systems. $1000 is WAY OVERPRICED. That quodro is going to be useless to you as Neil already mentioned

[glorybound]

I pretty much ruled them you. One thing I am confused about is the BOXX systems. If they are built for people like us, why are they shipping with 8GB RAM? I know you can upgrade, but they should cover the basics for the price that they are charging. You would think you are paying for the one stop package.

[Neilg]

if they're second hand someone probably took the ram out.

[glorybound]

No, they are complete.
