How quickly does tech depreciate in value? If a PC cost $1000

>>58784825
Probably even less than that, but you have to account for the incredible jump we've seen in tech since then. The next 11 years will most likely be nothing like it, which means today's PCs will probably cost more in 11 years than 11 year old PCs cost now

Not all tech in a computer depreciates in value at the same rate.

GPUs will retain their value very well until the next generation comes out, and after two generations have basically no value.
Motherboards retain their value until the socket dies (generally - sometimes if a new chipset comes out but the socket is the same, compatibility will cause the motherboard to lose value prematurely)
Lately CPUs lose value pretty much linearly with time due to lack of noticeable performance improvements - an overclocked i7 920 is still a viable option even in something like a gaming machine. The only exception is that the first socket change will take a substantial chunk off the value.
RAM held its value very well while everything was using DDR3, but now that things are transitioning to DDR4 you might have a harder time selling it.
SSDs lose their value basically immediately, because of their limited writes (realistically they'd probably still be good, but you might as well buy a brand new one than a used one). HDDs fare a little better.
The case and PSU retain their value pretty much indefinitely.

You're not even close, kid. That was a shit tier PC in 2006

I had a 250 GB HDD and 1600x900 LCD with my shit tier 2006 PC, thanks. Everything else was pretty spot on, though.

Going to buy a 2008ish Shuttle XPC for £30 tomorrow actually.

I figure even just the case, the 450GB HDD and the disk drive are worth the asking price, and maybe ill even be able to use it as a server, idk.

Am I being ripped off?

Is this really the state of /g/?
