$400 - $450 each for #1 and #2
Not much over $800 or $900 for #3

It all depends what you're willing to pay, though. I bet my opinion differs vastly from everyone else here.

Come on Guys, help me out here. No one else can tell me except pixeldust?

hmmm im no expert on computers but i would say for 1 maybe $300 2 350-400 and 3 maybe $600? thats just what i would pay the ram is horrible in 1 and 2 and 1.83 ghz isnt slow but it isnt fast... (note: i dont know much about comp prices especially second hand so if u want just ignore me.)

1: 350 max
2: Doesn't give details of board etc but does have all the software so same
3: That third one, hmmm, 250Gb HDD I presume you mena, and DDR2? And an FX1400 Quadro? A small fortune I would imagine. Not entirely sure what the Quadro is worth, Google says £499.

Thanks guys, 3 sold for $1000NZ. Anyone else on #1 & #2?

$1000 is a good deal for #3. If only people sold computers like that as cheap as that down here, I wouldn't have to spend countless hours trying to make whatever POS my non-tech friends buy perform like a real computer.
