Getting a new computer; offing old one
2007-06-28, 12:56 PM #1
I was wondering if any of you have a use for a new computer in a week or two. I'm buying a completely new system, and currently am having difficulty finding a use for my current system. The specs are:

Motherboard:
Gateway MicroATX motherboard (don't worry, it's solid, albeit out of warranty)
  • Four operational USB ports (couldn't ever get the front USB ports to play nice)
  • Built-in 10/100BaseT ethernet


Processor:
Pentium 4 2.53 GHz processor

RAM:
2 GB (1 GB x 2) PC2700 (333 MHz) RAM

Hard drives:
WD 80 GB 5400RPM
WD 250 GB 7200RPM

Optical drives:
DVD-/+R burner
DVD-ROM

Video card:
PNY GeForce 7600GS 512 MB DDR3 (AGP)
Will include component-out cable

Operating System:
Not provided

Sound Card:
Sound Blaster Audigy (supports 5.1 surround sound and there exists working Vista drivers)

Case:
Antec black (no faceplate for motherboard)

Power Supply:
Antec 300W

Any takers? It'll be at least a few days before I'm ordering the parts, and a week to 1.5 weeks after that until I can get the new system set up and running to my satisfaction, at which point I will wipe the system. I'd like to make some money back on the RAM and video card that I got so recently, so I'm looking for minimum $150.

I may be interested if someone more needy doesn't respond.

A 250GB drive that's 5,400 RPM? Are you sure? :confused:

You could turn it into a server, or better yet, an HTPC.

Yes. Turn it into a server. I would buy it, but I'm also saving up for a laptop which I need for college.

You live in America, right? I wonder how much it'd cost you (by which I mean me) to ship it to Europe (Budapest).

Want to sell the RAM? I could ship 2x256mb back so it'll still run. :p
woot!

More than shipping it to Scotland.
nope.
2007-06-28, 3:30 PM #11
I may be interested. I could pay 150-200, probably.

This is better than my desktop in every single regard... >.>

Email me, my username at the email thingie that google provides, and we should discuss this further.

I'd be interested in the video and sound cards if you're willing to part it out.

Already have a Linux box, and my roommate is buying all the parts he wants for his HTPC in the living room.

Uh. Maybe I did this wrong, but FedEx says shipping to Budapest will be in excess of $372.58. I don't imagine Scotland is much better.

I'm really only interested in offing the whole thing right now.

Alright, I'll take it. I'm PMing you a few last questions, but I'm definitely going to go for it.

Witness the power of these fully armed and operational USB ports!

That would make an excellent Win2K3, Win2K8, or Home Server box.

$300

Edit: I'm willing to settle w/o the video card. But if it is part of the package, I'll go $350.

Edit 2: Apparently I might be ripping myself off :/

FedEx is expensive for individuals, and you also probably chose the wrong service type.
