I know somebody that is interested in buying one of my iopeners. He is only interested in the iopener alone, without the harddrive, 32meg mem that came with it, ide cable, or cpu. The only thing the i opener will include is the cpu mod with dropping resistor, and fsb mod. How much is this thing worth? ill let you guys decide.

In my Opinion, most of the components in the IO are worth virtually nothing..
The pieces that are worthwhile IMO are the MB and LCD.
I would set an unmodded MB at $75 and the screen at $50; in addition, you should take into account the cost of the mod, say $5 for the parts and $30 for the time (at an estimated .5 hour)

On the other hand, chances are with a bit of searching you could get an IO for less than that.. but hey my judgement of worth is warped.. I still complain when my family drops a 100MB of MP3s of my 80Gig server, it all has to do with when you started doing stuff...

Those are good posts and all, but interested everyones opinion on how much an iopener with just the cpu mod is worth. No mem, no harddrive, no ide cable, just the iopener with the cpu mod. Ill try and make a break down, and you guys can tell me if you think im wrong or right. And im not talking about wholesaling, im talking about selling dirctly to another interested person.

Iopener(new in box) = $150
parts for cpu mod = $25
time = $50
-bios hotflsh = $20
-cpu & fsb mod = $30

Total worth = $225 (just the io with cpu and fsb mod)

I took some time to find out how much you sold your iopener for.

5GB harddrive,pricewatch= $80
shipping= $9
64mb Ram, pricewatch= $20
shipping=7.50
USB network, retail= $30
shipping= $0
I-mod, badflash= $30
Sonon fan, badflash= $16
Ide cable, badflash= $10
shipping:badflash 4.50

total = $207

so you sold your I-opener for about $43, ummm, good deal......for the other guy.
You didnt say that it had a cpu mod or not.
i included shipping because with the stuff off the internet, its very much part of the price.
