Re: Where/how to sell a music server PC?

Well, the cost of the hardware and licensed software (I really did pay for it) is over $2k if purchased today on Newegg. The 400gb HD is brand new, and the other parts are not obsolete if you are going for low noise/low heat.

But you guys are correct: I have not received a single offer.

Also, I have sold one other PC this way before, and the buyer nagged me for days for tech support, even though I'd had done a clean install of the OS. So any "mid-fi" buyer would probably need serious help. God knows it took me quite a while to get everything configured to my liking.

I put the Silverstone up for auction on eBay, so we'll see what happens. If I don't get the reserve, I'll sell the components individually. The irony is that I could do pretty well breaking the the PC up this way.

Perhaps this is why the high-end audio companies have not dabbled in this market. Quite scary.
