PC for Sale: Going to England to do PhD

[OsireS]

Hey Guys

Well the title says it all, I need to sell my PC so I can have some extra cash overseas. Its a mid-range gaming PC that has had some recent upgrades so it still runs everything fine (although Oblivion does make it take strain, then again what mid-range gaming rig doesn't).

Specs are below:

• Motherboard: GA-8S655FX Ultra (Gigabyte Titan series)
  
• CPU: 2.6 Ghz P4 HT (bought 1 1/2 years ago) overclocks nicely
  
• RAM: 1 gig of 4 x 256 megs all 400 Mhz (also overclock well) setup like this so RAM runs in dual channel mode (one set of sticks is transcend
  
• Graphics card: MSI GeForce 6600 GT 128MB AGP (its the ViVo version: Details
  
• Optical: Brand new (4 weeks old) LG 16x Super Multi DVD/CD Rewriter (GSA-4167B)
  
• Old media: Standard stiffy drive + no-name DVD-ROm / CD-Writer
  
• Hard drive: 120gig new SATA drive (ST3200826AS). Also only 2 months old.
  
• Keyboard: Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 (only 6 months old)
  
• Monitor: Proline 17inch CrystalView 7Klr (true flat screen) does 1280x1024 85Hz.
  
• Sound: Seprate sound card Cobra AW850 Deluxe (Details)
  
• PSU: Brand-new 400W PSU (2 months old)
  
• Case: All black (as are the drivers) with side panel with plexi-glass window and side mounted fan.
  
• Cooling: 2 x Coolermaster dual-ball SAF-B82s for front and side, CPU has Coolermaster Aero 4 and a for exhaust an Aero Blower
  
• Extras: Blue cold-cathode in case.

Anything extra you may want to know please message me, the UK thing is bit of a suprise as it was a long shot (hence I've been upgrading and adding to the machine till fairly recently). I'd prefer this machine to go to a gamer who will appreciate it and not to some person off the street so I'm advertising it here before it goes in anywhere else. I know guys here are on the ball and I'll probably get a slightly lower price than from somewhere else but like I said, I've put sweat and blood into this machine and would prefer to see it in a gamer's hands.

Any serious offers (preferably in CT as thats where I live, unless your willing to pay for shipping ... or at least half of shipping) please Private message me, I've got a figure in mind, but then again if its a serious offer I figure you'll know how much the rig is worth

Add: Of course given that I'm going away my camera has packed up. Will attempt to put up pics tomorrow to show what the case looks like. I'm not looking for a lot ... R6000 range.

Maybe you could upload a photo of the rig? It may help you sell it faster.

 

[freeek]

take it with you! nobody is gonna buy it at the price you thinking of!

 

[LandyMan]

As someone not to hectically into gaming, what is the feeling out there from you guys in the know ... how much for a second hand rig like that?

 

[|tera|]

I'd say R6000, not a penny more.

That's equivelant to a R1000 each for main system components, which is alot. I know this pc was a custom project, but there are drawbacks. Like ram not being the same brand and the crappy monitor.

What was the asking price freeek?

take it with you! nobody is gonna buy it at the price you thinking of!

Addition added to original post.

Sorry teraside / OsireS, but that's way too steep.

I can build better, brand new for closer to R5k. Not that I'm in the market, but I wouldn't consider anything over R4k.

 

[LethalChicken]

look at prices of someone like cyberdyne then divide the price in two and you should have a realistic selling price.

 

[killadoob]

well if that monitor is no lcd your price is way over the top

i would say 3500-4000 not a cent more

slow cpu

sadly second pc stuff is worth nothing

 

[spiderz]

CPU+MB R1200
Ram 1Gb R600
6600GT R800-1200
17" scree R500
120Gb hdd R600
Case R200

About as much as you'll get second hand... if ur lucky.
But there is a sucker born every minute

 

[OsireS]

Ok lets say R4800 (negotiable of course) .. don't forget the coolers (solid copper base coolers with the good thermal paste are not THAT cheap), extra fans etc. And I'd like to see you get a case with a 400W PSU for R200. If you can please let me know where, I can make a fortune reselling them

 

[|tera|]

R4800 is a brilliant price OsireS, baie bilikke prys

I hope you sell it fast!

 

[freeek]

The biggest draw back its a P4! I was thinking his going to want alot like R6000 becoz of all the extra's. Most ppl don't really care abt extra's. I got rid off all sorts of things like that. Makes your pc heavy and full of stuff! I know have 4 hdd's,mobo,cpu,ram,gcard!

Everything else is USB.... but wait why im I talking about my pc again o0

 

[Arcadies]

that pc is worth like 3k, i woudnt pay a cent more ;/ you can get that pc NEW for 4.5k
lol :/
