Just about any PC I've built suffers from this, and as such I have yet to sell any of them. I look at some of my older builds that cost me a few thousand at the time to build, and by the time I consider an upgrade/replacement, I find that the best someone will offer me is a c note. So instead of re-sale I just hold on to them for projects or to run old software.
I have found, however, in the PC realm, ya just have to know who to sell it to. I work daily around 1980's PC and other computer technology, and we pay out the backside to get replacement parts. Several of our pieces of test equipment still run on 486 processors. It's kinda sad.
Technology just ain't a long term investment.
