Hmmm, thanks Dave :)
Would I be better splitting it up or selling it in one?

Not really relevant, but you said 5 case fans, then put 2 coolermaster and 2 others? 2+2 = 4? :P

It really depends where you sell it. If you sold it on ebay you would probably get half the price you should do. Clean it up, make it look as good as possible and look for someone who wants to buy and name a price starting at around £600 and then let the price be agreed down to a minimum of £450 or something. You may even get more money by selling it all separately.
Your craze has really gone too far Tom! I can't actually believe it! PC lover and gaming fanatic who would give it up for a macintosh which will be expensive expensive and a lot less you can do with it. There are a lot more downsides.
Good luck anyway.

*3 Cooler master
LOL
I don't play PC games much any more, the only games I have played recently is Counter-Strike Source, which isn't really that demanding and can easily be played on a Mac.
FC2 is on Consoles
Spore is on Mac
etc..
Im more a console gamer now
I would ask how much on Overclock.net aswell, but I need 35 rep to go into the Appraisal section =_=

Hard to calculate...my friend (I think) is willing to buy though.

I'm open to offers, But the shipping will be highhhhhh cus its fricken heavy.
I'll start with a cheeky bid of £350 for a friend lol. That's not including the hard drive. You keep that - you may have stuff on it you want to keep/don't want to run the risk of someone recovering your data off it and it's only 250GB.
Plus, can the Vista be activated/genuine again considering it's OEM etc.

Vista can't be reactivated on dif mobo. If you change hard drive just use same key and should be fine as its tied to mobo.

If you phone up MS and say your motherboard failed and you had to replace it, they will give you a new key.

I have replaced the motherboard (when my GigaByte died) and just rang them up and used the automated line, said it was installed on no computers yet and I was only going to install it on one and it activated fine.
But now it will activate without phoning up MS on this motherboard.
But changing the HDD is fine, you won't need to reactivate, I was going to do a complete wipe a few times, writing 0s anyway

What he means is, http://www.dban.org/
It can wipe your HDD's seven/ times which is apparently the same thing the Department Of Defense does.
There's a YT.com video on it, I watched it and then used DBAN to wipe my old PC's HDD's. Link: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vVw49laTG9U&feature=channel. The guys a mega nerd but it is informative.
