I'm not in the know with second-hand prices in the US. But, that looks like a good deal to me.

$700 would be a more than fair price. $600 would be a great deal for your cousin

see, he's not that computer savy and I'm wondering if I can milk him for a little more. Is that mean?

Depends on how much you like your cousin. If he is a good sort you might feel bad for overcharging them down the pike a bit. If they are a butthead you can barely tolerate, the fair price could indeed be higher.

No it's not mean to charge relatives street value of components, in my experience they are the worst customer to have. Just the sheer amount of free technical support they feel you are obligated to is enough to justify charging extra.

I have built rigs for extended family and it's always the same. They don't listen to what you tell them or educate themselves on proper security, then they fill it up with wares and other junk till it slows down to a crawl. Then they call you and expect you to fix it free of charge. Even had one bad mouth me to other family members, then goes out and buys a Dell and screws that up. [/rant]
