Does it come with the power supply?

The other guys were being ridiculous. The parts are worth at least $150 retail.

Go to pricewatch and get retail prices for the individual parts, then take maybe 2/3 or so to get your price.

lol we (or at least I) were just joking with him.  You're right though... pricewatch is your best bet to get a gauge on what its worth.  Those parts are worth much more than $150 actually. Even at used prices, there is $200-300 of computer parts there.  Then take the controls/wood/etc into account.  Whether you'd get that or not is another story though. 

Ebay would definitelly be your best bet IMHO.

Well to give you more of an idea, your PC parts have already depreciated quite a bit.  $750 canadian is a few cents under $500 US and you will not get that money for those parts any longer.  If you get $500 for the entire setup, I think you would be lucky.

This is not meant meanly, I just buy/sell a lot of used computer parts, and unless you catch a sucker, you will get nowhere near $500 for those parts.

I'd say $500 for the whole thing would be a nice point to shoot for.  With any luck, you can get a bit more, but if you go into this looking for what you paid, you're gonna be disappointed.
AlanS17:
You might get more for it if you sell the CP and PC parts seperately. You could bundle the PC parts, but I think if you sold it all seperate from the control panel you might get more for it all.

Heck, you could throw those parts into a $30 PC case and you'd have yourself a fully functioning computer that 1000's more people might be interested in if you put it on ebay.
