You
could get mo money by selling your DP 500 for parts
For example:
All prices are estimated, and based on recent sales, both here and on ebay, and will vary depending on actual brand/specs/model/condition.
A) Mobo: $50-$100
B) Power supply: $20
C) CPU: $50-80
D) Bare but clean & scratch-free case: $40-60
E) Video card: $15-60
F) DVD drive: $15-40
G) Ram: $25-50
H) Airport card: $100
I) HDD empty: $20, w/tiger installation & DVD: $50-80
J) USB card $8-12
K) Tiger dvd: $30-70
L) Miscellaneous parts, cables connectors ect ect: $10
this would get you pretty dang close to the $450 range.
If you consider this an option, please pm me, as I would be interested in buying a few of these parts
