Hardware Non-Bargains

Well apart from the mobo and graphics card it's quite a hectic computer. Not nearly enough to justify the price, but still. 3GHz core 2 duo. What's that? X6800? Two monitors. Three 500gb hard drives, all the bells and whistles.

Still not worth anywhere near 22k though ... brand new for a similar rig you're prob looking at around 12-14k ... (Most of the cost is in the screens and processor), I'm sure you could get that price down quite a bit though ... I'm too lazy to work it out, so I may be off :P

Yip, not worth 22k second hand that is for sure. He'd be lucky to see 10k for that lot. It only comes with an 8600GT :o
 
Uhm, ja, new it works out roughly to 16k (ok, I'm bored on a Saturday night :o) That's a nice 6k profit.

Did you factor in all of the little extras, like the sound card and I can't remember what else?

I'm definitely not trying to justify the price of course, but if he stuck an 8800GT in there it would be a pretty hectic PC.

Hectic yes, but it is 2nd hand. And for R22k I want a whole lot more than that!
 
I don't care how hectic a pc is I wouldn't buy it second hand if a similar new pc would cost about the same or less, but thats just me. . .

I factored in everything that was mentioned on the list. However, I just took prices from one online shop, so if you shop around you can probably get it cheaper still.

Ya, but all the matters is that this guy is selling second hand stuff at a price ludicrously more than new... Shame, someone should email him and pretend to be interested...
