I dunno, the flat panels alone are probably worth around €300-400 each.

If I had to call it I'd say

€2000,- for the lot...

But haggle the seller down to €1700,-

By the way: 2x 80GB and 2x 120GB?

Are you sure about that? Seems kind of odd...

Yes

There are 4 drives connected to the accard dual PCI/ATI card
two 75 gigs and two 120 gigs,
i just found out that that card supports up to 350gig or even 500 with new firmware upgrades from acard.

Also, if i wanted to just buy the computer or one screen etc, what prices wuld you say they go for each?, all these stuff comes with origional boxes like new btw.

I'm pretty sure Euros are worth more than dollars, and if you think the displays are worth 400 euros, you're wrong. I've seen them go for as little as $200 on ebay...but, hey that's just my two cents...also, it sounds like a kicking setup, just the processor seems kind of ****ty. the guy sounds like he bought everything possible before a CPU upgrade..i'd say take it and invest another $400-$600 on a 1ghz G4 upgrade!
