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?

4

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

5

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.

6

One that’s outperformed by a $200 card…

7

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.

8

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

9

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.

10

Any word on this?

11

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

12

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.

13

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

14

No, they are complete.
