How much do you think this computer is worth? I need to cover it on my Insurance.
    #10173531 - 04/15/09 07:09 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

To start. The case, Aerocool ExtremeEngine 3T modified to have a real turbine fan in the front instead of the fake one that is originally installed, and another in the top.
The Motherboard, CPU, and Ram.
M2N4-SLi.
AMD Phenom 64 X4 9850+ BE 2.5ghz with unlocked multiplier. Good for Over Clocking.
OCZ DDR2 PC2-9200 Reaper HPC 8gb.
2 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280's in SLi mode.
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Series Sound card.
2 500gb Western Digital hard drives.
And for shits and giggles I also installed a water cooling system that I pieced together at the local tech geek spot, and ATV dealer :yesnod:
I bought a 414 gph Pump, Apogee water block, a small acrylic reservoir, and all the 1/2" tubing at the geek spot, and I got super life Purple coolant and a Radiator for a small water cooled ATV at the ATV dealer. I just didn't like any of the little ones that they had at the geek spot so I opted for what I wanted. It's about 12"x 8"x1.5" +/- Lets also not forget the blue LED custom case lighting I wired up everywhere on this bad boy.
I will take pictures and upload them here so you all can get a look at a fellow shroomerites computational beast for yourself and take an educated guess to try to help me out in figuring value for my insurance.

Unfortunetly that usually isn't good enough for insurance company's. Otherwise I would be telling them mine is worth 3000 dollars or something even tho it's only worth about 1300.

They tend to find any way possible to screw you out of money come time to collect if needed. Writing down some amount without receipts to back it up typically give them a reason to say tough shit.

I have all the receipts. They want to know what I think all of my custom work is worth.
Wait till I get the pics of this bad boy up. you will be impressed. I have a feeling that the internals alone cost around $2000.00

I forgot to mention the CoolMax Green power 950watt modular power supply. That alone was a cool $250.00

They considered installing my own $200.00 stereo in my own truck as a $500.00 Piece of custom equipment due to the fact that I installed it.
I love my Insurance company sometimes.

The cost of all the parts is not what the computer is worth, and not what the insurance will pay for it.  My rule of thumb is that electronics depreciate by about half their cost every year, and new parts usually depreciate by 20-50% as soon as you buy them.

(when I went through the list, I googled the parts and got their current price and cut that in half, giving a total just under 1k for the computer.  Maybe you can get insurance that pays for the replacement cost and not the value, but of course that kind of insurance is more expensive usually.)

Thank you for making me look more into my policy. It is more of a replacement "bundle" I need to photograph and catalog the most expensive items in the house along with "Replacement value not including Labor, Sentimental or theoretical value for all items in such category inside domicile." So from the sounds of it I am insuring only the most valuable items in my home such as electronics, jewelry, tools, and some furniture. but the approximated appraisal total value of these things will be what I would be compensated if I were robbed.
Say for example it all totals $20,000 then they will pay me $20,000 if I were to be robbed or the house were to catch fire or a tornado took it off it's foundation and scattered my belongings across a 5 mile path, or the river flooded and set my house a drift like New Orleans.

How do you not know how much your parts are worth if you have all the receipts?

What I payed and replacement value are two different things in my book. I can say it's worth more than it really is, just because I got some parts on sale or from friends businesses and things like that for deals does not depreciate the actual value of the computer.
But this is ok I have to call them in the morning and I will just tell them $1500.00 in parts because I cannot claim any labor of any sort for modifying it. I called them on that one.
