I haven't thought of selling on SDN, but I have sold most of my old parts to friends and coworkers (a coworker is getting my 7800s, for example). But I guest if anyone interested in 2GB of DDR-400 (Corsair XMS) or an A64 X2 4800+ socket 939, PM me an offer (if the mods and admin approve, I know many forums frown on this kind of thing).
I've got to admit, I've been eye'ing the 4800+ since the price drop. However, the difference between a 3800+ and 4800+ doesn't seem so great.

Selling stuff is only really a problem if that's all you do, IIRC.
Yeah, Arrow is an established user and so it really isn't a problem. It's not like he just signed up here to sell stuff.

The differance is also added cache, depending on what you do, that could help.

All fixed. My friend cloned the contents of my current hard drive onto the secondary one- luckily it was successful. Unfortunately, in the process he wiped my copy of nBSG S3E03. Already seen it, but was still good to have. Dammit. That's what he gets for not telling me what he was doing before he did it.

Some stern words and finger wagging seems to be in order.

But now that you have your computer you can start to do useful activities, like play video games.
