Price Check -- Buying a used computer

I'm looking to buy a used, small server-like PC for my house. Redundant storage, ease of use/setup, an actual video card (doesn't need to be great), and some real processor power will be necessary.

I found something which looks pretty good for my needs, but I'm not sure how much it is worth. Could I have a price check on a computer with the specs below? How much would you pay for this used computer?
