His stated reason for not giving you the hard drive seems pretty stupid. I suspect that he did not want ANYBODY (including you) to have the hard drive because of privacy issues. If he'd given that reason upfront we all would have thought "Credit card details, shopping transaction, address books, diary, emails, phone numbers - all private...fair enough." Because he made up a lame excuse, we here at TFP speculate that "new-born Christian has PORN on his hard drive and is feeling guilty". That ain't necessarily true, but it's funny how not being upfront can raise suspicions like that.
As to selling off the system - the fact that you provided so MANY parts is what makes it an issue. If you had given me (for example) just an internal modem or mouse or something and I sold the system 2 years later, I probably wouldn't remember to offer you a percentage of the profits.
Do all the parts add up to about half the value of the system? All I could possibly say in his defence is he had no idea how much the components added value to the system. Even then his overall attitude doesn't seem great.
