Just built sweet gaming computer... having to sell it for college :( need advice

[iasus]

I just found out I'm gonna have to take a few classes over summer since I'm doing my internship next semester. The shitty part is that financial aid doesn't cover summer classes and they're 300bucks a credit hour($900 a class). So I'm selling my computer I just built. here are the specs. It cost me $1300 to build it 2 months ago. I'm curious if anyone has done this before and what the best way(craigslist, ebay, etc) to sell it is and at what price. It's in perfect condition and barely used. Also, if anyone on here is interested in buying it... we can discuss that in private chat.
Thanks for any advice!

$300 a credit? enjoy your community college degree bro

i wouldn't recommend selling your computer, you're gonna have lots of time to use it while you're collecting unemployment

Probably state college, community colleges are much cheaper.

Don't have to flunk out... I have a good job as a SQL/Access Developer and my wife is a doctor and we are enslaved by debt. Just the way it is.

If I weren't rocking the G.I. bill, I'd be paying just over $300 a credit and subject to what program and ranking system you are referencing, there are only a hand full of schools whose degrees are indisputably superior (I attend the University of Wisconsin). Just saying, the idea that a good college education is going to cost you six figures and put you in the poor house is silly. There are a number of state schools that provide ridiculously good educations and a extremely low price (Wisconsin, Washington, California-Berkeley, California-San Diego, Michigan, and Illinois to name a few off the top of my head).

It's true. If you're rockin the in-state rates, Florida State University (where I graduated) only runs approx 180 a credit (Undergrad coursework) when all is said and done (that's with all those fees/etc tacked in, which is higher than what they advertise), and housing/living costs aren't absolutely insane in North Florida. Same is true of UF, which is stronger academically.

Even Graduate coursework only runs 340ish per credit at FSU...Most of the Florida schools have similar rates.

Community/State Colleges in the area only run 90 bucks or so per credit when all is said and done...
