Advice Please

Everyone has been so helpful and I hope you can all help me to decide what to do.

This is what I have sitting gathering dust around the house:

Corsair 600T

Palit 2GB 560Ti

Corsair Dominator-GT 4GB (2x2GB) 2000MHz Memory kit

Corsair Vengeance 4GB (2x2GB) 1866MHz Memory kit

Corsair AX750 PSU (Still sealed)

Corsair H70

Loads of fans, fan controllers, HDDs, optical drives...and a old Pentium E2140

I really don't know what to do with any of it.

My first thought was selling it, buy I only purchased most of it a few months back and I don't selling things at a loss.

My second thought was to grab a socket 775 mobo like the Asus G41 at less then £40 and make use of that old Pentium CPU to create a HTPC in something like the Silverstone GD06B case. I could also get the 560Ti folding in it so its not going to waste, but then I've got a 600T just sat there looking sad.

I'm aiming to get as much worth out of all the parts I've got. Be that in money or in use.

What would you do in my situation? Imagine you had all these parts to hand.

Thanks for any advice/suggestions you can provide.

build another rig and use it as a server OR sell it

i would grab a used i7 920 for about £85 and a crappy 1366 mobo and let it fold!!!!!!! or stick it on the forums for sale you would prolly get a decent price for most of the stuff

How much money are you prepared to spend if you were to get it up and running?

£200 is the absolute max but I'd like to spend alot less

Nope, black

In that case I'd be tempted to go for say a Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 P67 & 2100. The all black pcb on the motherboard will look good with that case and the h70.

Unfortunately the case for my HTPC i'm looking into is for MATX. I'm really tempted by the Asus MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z and sticking an i5 2500k in there but that'll just be overkill. Not sure if the h70 will fit without a bit of modding

I'm liking Scans price for the Silverstone GD05B

I thought your budget was £200 max.

Funny that

Nah it is... It's just very difficult staying inside it. your always 10-20 pound away from it being so much better and before you know it your budget is out the window.
