Appraisal: Apogee XT (Intel), Viperjohn's GPU waterblock, Thermalright HR-07 Duos, thermalchill...  

I just bought my used XT with 1155 and 1366 brackets for $35 shipped on overclockers.com the guy had it up for weeks at $45. Now that the new one is out and it boasts 2c lower temp and the ability to go parallel in the future if anyone ever proves without a doubt that it is worth it has kinda cut into its cost. The other problem is that people are pretty gun hoe about that cpu block test that showed the swiftechs where unbelievably restrictive and the raystorm was an awesome cooler and least restrictive. So I am sure someone will say its worth $50 used but it isn't going to move at that price.

Also please find the instructions for that block and make sure you put the bottom back on in the right direction. The little triangles or diamonds are actually orientated in a specific direction and it has to be put back on correctly according to the inlet and outlet. You might have already known this but I didn't and I put my entire loop together then found out and had to drain the entire thing just to check. Turns out I had it in the right orientation but just by dumb luck.

As for the thermochill it all depends on how it looks and if the body itself is dented. You may want to paint it yourself if you really want to get $50+ for it. That is one of the better looking RADs out there. Right there with the X-Changer and the XSPC RX360. So if you get it spic and span I don't see why you couldn't get $50 for it. Otherwise to give you an example I picked up my X-Changer with no visable dings and a perfect paint job for $50 shipped and thats one of the best triples out there as well. My super duper mora core 360 $75 new ($140 rad), my 480 black ice with fittings was 36.02 shipped and that was with some major paint flaking on it and dented end caps. So paint issues really take there toll on the prices is my opinion so if you can paint it you will def get more.

As far as the lamptron's I would probably ask 60-70% retail minus 5.1% (discount everyone gets on frozencpu) but take offers on them.

The bench station is totally in the eye of the beholder and I think it is gonna have to be local pick up IMO. That is one awesome thing you built I just don't know where to even start on a price.

I know with the stuff above that people will tell you its worth more but I am being very honest with you I watch this stuff on 4 different forums and on ebay and those are legit prices if you don't want the stuff to sit for months. That Mora-Core 360 was in the classifieds for 11 months I had made offers several times on it one offer was even for $100 and it was turned down. Then when he got sick of it being up to long he dumped the price.

You can always ask a little more and take offers just be realistic with yourself. Also if you need a blue book just go on ebay and use the advanced search and do completed listings. You can get a swiftech gt 1366 for less than $15 shipped... Mine was $1.5 plus 8 or so for shipping.

Ram coolers you can get 3 brand new for $35 or 2 for $45 LOL so I would just buy 2 triple kits... So I'd say start at $35 but accept offers because that is a really niche item and for the most part only WC setups can run them because of the CPU cooler getting in the way. They are baller though they look very nice.


Oh and that GPU block... Those usually hold there value quite well. I would probably start between $40-50 or if for some reason it was like a $150 block and you can convince others to go for that then maybe $60 but you can buy a brand new EK Bridge Edition for $70 and that thing is TIGHT!

If you lived in my area I would probably go $75-120 for that bench. No more than that though because you can buy some baller all plexi benches for ~$100 and even buy lids for them for $30-50...
