Price of your system
Over the year(s), you've upgraded your PC with various components, peripherals and such forth. How much are they worth new now?
I'll start. Some equivalent prices used... 3x LG W2261VP = £121ea (£363) Logitech Z-5500 = £220 RAT 9 = £100 Logitech G11 = £50 Samsung SH-B123L = £42 LG 22x DVD-RW = £18 i7 965 (i7 960 price) = £220 Extreme6 = £150 Hyper 212 (212+ price) = £18 ASUS Xonar D2X = £85 1000w PSU = £120 (estimated) LCD Card reader/fan controller = £20 2x 120mm Akasa Apache Black = £15ea (£30) 2x EVGA GTX 570 = £260ea (£520) Intel 40GB SSD = £70 WD 750GB Caviar Black = £50 (more than the 1Tb, go figure) Samsung 1Tb = £40 RV02 = £130 Estimated total: £2246 ($3637.62) I actually didn't pay that much (total) for them  I'm not counting the router or connected TV (which is more for the PS3). What does this show? Well, nothing, really. It's just for curiosity's sake.

Re: Price of your system
Whichever one(s) you fancy; the main system you use?. Laptops don't count... Ignore spare parts.

Re: Price of your system
Using google shopping for current market prices as new, which is, I think, what Takaharu intended:
E7200: £72 (I paid £35) Asrock P43DE: £41 (I paid £58) Radeon HD6850: £108 (Some guy called Veridian3 gave it to me) Corsair XMS-2 PC8500 4GB: £73 (I paid £42) WD6400AAKS: £25(I paid £42) WD1600BB: £22 (I paid nothing!) Arctic Cooling Alpine 7 Pro: £6 (I paid £6) Antec Tricool 92mm: £3 (I paid £3) 120mm NZXT case fan: £6 (I paid nothing!) CM Elite 330 case + Extreme Power 460 PSU: £53 (I paid £53) Simple generic fan controller: £2 (I paid £2) Fan resistor cable: £2 (I paid £2) Vista x64 Ultimate: £30 (I paid nothing (legit!)) Razer Mako 2.1: £250 (Some guy called Zardon gave it to me) Acer P193w: £92 (I paid £105) Logitech Desktop mic: £3 (I paid £3) Logitech Ultra X Premium keyboard: £12 (I paid £12) Steelseries Ikari mouse: £28 (I paid £33) Total: £828 (I paid £354!!!!  )Note: both numbers will increase by £30 when I attach my triple slot cooler to the 6850 in July  Can anyone else beat my 2.3:1 ratio of price to paid? For that matter, did anyone else on HH spend less than £354 on their entire current rig, including all peripherals?

oh crap, that's what happens when you do too many things at the same time, short attention span. I'll check prices and edit my post. The Inteldude is going to laugh at me.

If you like, I can send you a 40GB WD IDE drive to use for troubleshooting. Or even 3, if that sweetens the deal.

Sony DVD-RW some other bits, like a cheap pci sata card etc. anyone remember how much the V2000 went for way back when btw ?

So go through all of the list you posted, and see what they are new in google shopping. If you want, you could also look at how much they originally costed, and compare and contrast.
