Right so my desktop hasn't be used for ages, its never worked completely right software-wise and all of the stuff I've bought for it over the years has got to be over £400 (more than likely worth a lot less now)
Would I be better off selling it as one block on eBay or by selling all the parts separately?

I still have the boxes for most of the stuff I bought most recently.
Or are there any stores (other than sex exchange) that are likely to buy old pcs?

What spec is it?

If it's a P4 or earlier then it won't have much value unless you get lucky on fleabay or the Freeads...

(An i3 base unit with 3gb ram and 1tb, dvd drive etc is £300 plus Operating system from ebuyer)

Pentium 4.

As the previous member said whats the spec? If its cheap parts then yes sell as a whole. if you bought well then may be worth seperating. Have a look on ebay completed items for recent prices.
