Hey everyone. The time has come for me to move away from my PC habits (no more time) and sell the machine I just built not long ago (I ordered all the parts on 11/8/07). This a top-end gaming machine. It will handle anything you throw at it without a problem (Crysis, Call of Duty 4, DiRT, etc). I paid $2,200 for it and am looking to get $1,800 for it. That price is without shipping. Actually, I'd like to do pick-up only. I do not feel comfortable shipping this 1) because it's very pricey and 2) because it's kind of heavy. Here is the break down of the PC and what you get:

• Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe (3.0Ghz) - Paid $280

• OCZ ModXStream 780W Power Supply - Paid $190
• SYTRIN Ultra HD Cooler - Paid $25
• 52-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader - Paid $10

You also will get the following with your purchase:

• Windows XP Professional SP2 with all recent updates to within a few days of your purchase
• Microsoft Word and Excel 2007

Here are the pictures:

*** Note: The top 80mm fan is missing because the power supply unit is too long and I had to remove the fan to fit it ***

Bump.

 

Bump for the three parts listed at the bottom of original post.

 

only 2gb of ram?

anyway, I'm interested in the wifi card. How much would shipping be to 63357?
and which wireless standard is it? i see 2.4ghz so i'm guessing 802.11g/b

 

ONLY? Dude...it's 2GB of DDR3 1600..not DDR or DDR2. 2GB of that costs as much as some brand new ENTIRE computers at a computer store. The transfer rates are ridiculous.

The wireless card is 802.11b (not G). You can have it for $20 shipped. Figure $10 for card + $6 or so for UPS ground shipping + $3 supplies...+ $x.xx paypal fees...make it $20 even. You agree? If so, paypal me at ilyakolodiychik*at*hotmail.com and I'll get that out to you tomorrow. If you pay me before 7:00am I can get it out the same day. If it's after, it'll go out the next day. You will get the tracking info via PM.

 

yo hook me up with an external harddrive that i can use with the old usb ports?

 

USB ports never changed lol...they only got different speeds (1.1 and 2.0). Any USB drive will work with any USB port, it will just function slower if it was designed for 2.0 and is plugged into a 1.1 port.

I don't have any drives anyhow. Check NewEgg.com.

 

really?

i went to bestbuy a couple of weeks ago to get a 100g harddrive to back my **** up and the guy working there told me the "new" usb external harddrives woudlnt work with my old usb 1.1 ports....


wtf

 

Bro...NEVER EVER listen to the guys at Best Buy lol. It's just some kid trying to make a buck. I work in IT (it's my CAREER lol) and the only difference between 1.1 and 2.0 is transfer speeds. The physical port did NOT and will NOT change.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

 

Bump for an insane computer (C2D, DDR3, and SLI capability are HUGE) at a good price. I just built my rig (E6750@3.4, 2GB, gigabyte P35 board, HD3870) which screams but that rig would smoke the crap outta mine

GL with the sale!

 

well if hes tryin to sell ****, wtf would he make up something to discourage me from buying a $150 piece of electronics.....


anyway thanks for ur help.

 

That's the funny part. But he's dead wrong. I've been a Desktop Support Tech and now Technical Specialist for four years (since I was 16) so I know my stuff...and if something has changed then I should be fired. lol.

 

The rep's not making anything up, but Ilyak is correct, he's telling you false information. USB is completely backwards compatible, it's the nature of the interface. It will obviously back up slower, but it will still work flawlessly.

On a side note: Ilyak, how do you get a tech job like that so young? I'm 17 and I've been building computers since I turned 14, I'd like a job like that... :P

 

lol.. Ener.i just finished buying a rig just like yours on newegg. Still waiting for everything in the mail. Gigabyte p35-ds3l, q6600, 8800gt, 2 gigs of 1066 ddrII. I dont know why i went soo crazy. the only game ive been playing is Kart Rider (free online mario kart basically) and im just waiting for starcraft 2.

Have you had any problems with the P35 board.

sorry for stealing thread btw. good luck with the sale. Thats an fair price on a siickkk system.

 

Well...when I was in 11th they (the school district) offered me a computer tech sub-contractor role (got paid $7/hr cash to do basic PC work) cause the helpdesk lady I knew mentioned my name to the IT manager...that gave me two years of experience. Then when I graduated and started college, I did an 'internship' (I worked 40/hrs a week and did everything everyone else did just didn't get benefits) until this Jan. I got hired on permanently as a Technical Specialist and now make 2x more than I did as an intern. I guess I got a lucky break.

Ask your school district IT manager if they are hiring student techs. That's how I got my start (I've been doing it since I was 12 myself - similar to you). And then when you get to college, wherever you go, ask the same of that IT staff. I'm sure you'll catch a break somewhere.

I'm just now finishing my two years associates in Computer Info Systems (CIS). Once I get that, I'm going for all of my basic certifications (A+, Network+, and my various Microsoft Certifications).

Good luck!

 

hey iIyak. this is a bit of a technical question for you.hope u can help me. but does a jump from 4 to 6 cpu voltage regualors help alot in oc'ing. i read somewhere that all Gigabyte p35 boards had a 6 stage volt reg, then after my purchase, found out that the one i bought only has a 4stage regulator with all solid state caps. i plan on evenutally ocing the quad core 6600 from 2.4 to about 3.0 ghz. gonna break it in first.

also the board (GA P35 DS3L)only has a 4 pin atx12v cpu power plug when many have 4+4 pin. I think the q6600 can draw up to 280w when oc'ed and stressing multithreaded apps/games. is this too much for a single 4pin to handle. will it fry/burn/melt?

any help is appreciated. thanks

 

I got the same board as you, max - it's flawless. You'll love it. I'd invest in a tiny fan for the NB chipset though, it runs pretty hot. Get aftermarket cooling for that quad, clock it to 3.0, and you should hit 13k+ in 3DMark06 with that 8800GT

 

One thing I have NEVER done in the PC world is OC. NEVER. Not once.

With that being said...use the ZALMAN 9500A CPU fan that I use (if it fits your MoBo/Chip) and it should help if you decided to OC. Good luck.

 

u found a tiny fan that fits perfectly onthe northbridge? some reviews said it gets pretty hot. how did you screw/mount it? i was thinking of addig some artic silver5 and aiming an 80mm side panel case fan in that direction.

 

That would be sufficient. i bought a little copper HSF from thermaltake for $20, used AS5, and it's cold even on overvoltage. Don't worry about voltage stability with this board, i'm at 425x8 (3.4GHz compared to 2.66 stock) running 1.425 vcore and it's rock solid.

 

that sounds good man. i was about to rma it and get the ep35 ds3R. guess ill jsut keep it. thanks man.

 

Ha no problem man, glad to help. Let me know if you need a hand with anything. Good luck! Only advice I can give is the 4pin power connector is hidden behind the cpu heatsink - be sure to plug it in before you install the heatsink as to not forget about it. I did and it wouldnt even post :P

 

its good that it didnt post or u wouldn't burned your cpu in like 15 seconds.

 

Okay fellas...hate to do this but this is a For Sale thread after all. Please end the discussion about mobo's, etc. I was only offering small advice, not trying to make this into a full blown OC'ing discussion.

Have a good day.

Bump.

 

oops didn't see the DDR3 part...

pretty BA comp by the way

EDIT: sorry, was gonna get your card, but I just got one from my neighbor. good luck with the sale!

 

haha, that's very similar to me! I graduated last year and was offered a position as THE tech guy at my school, even before I graduated. I've got my A+ and Net+ already, and I'm working on an associate's in CIS as well. Rock on dude, good luck with it!

 

Bump. Price dropped to $1,800.

 

ygpm

 

wow you REALLY overpaid bro....GL unloading it all

 

I'm not looking to unload it all (just looking to part with the video card now) and I didn't really over pay...I just got more than I needed lol. Prices were in that ball park for CDW, NewEgg, and TigerDirect.

 

just glancing off my cost list these were the ones that really jumped out. My cost vs what i charge for them.

GIGABYTE GA-X38T-DQ6 Intel Motherboard - Cost: 89.99 Sale: 225.99
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe (3.0Ghz) - Cost: 49.97 (why its not .99 i dunno) Sale: 99.99 w/ Thermaltake cooling
MSI GeForce 8800Ultra 768MB PCI-Xpress x16 and SLI/HDCP Ready Video Card Cost: 299.99 Sale: 450.00
2GB (2 x 1GB) OCZ Platinum DD3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Memory - Cost (ea): 69.99 Sale: 125.99

This ones really good, actually, because my cost is 165.00:

OCZ ModXStream 780W Power Supply - Paid $190

 

How the hell do you have prices like that? Who you use? Are you a vendor? If so who you do you work for...perhaps my company could use you. Either way, I'm not looking to part with the PC anymore...just the video card since I got myself an XBox 360.

 

I run and own a computer business. I have a re-seller account with newegg and tigerdirect. I thank god too, because they dont even offer them anymore. I have had mine for a few years now. Matter of fact i think last time i tried to find the application for a friend of mine TD's website had something to the extent of "We do not offer vendor or reseller accounts. For the benifit of our customers all prices listed are the cheapest we can offer!". Kinda made me laugh lol. I havent ordered anything in a month or so though, sadly i keep managing to fix computers without parts. Its getting annoying.

 

And CDW in my experience is always too damn expensive. I had NO idea NE/TD were charging that much for that stuff, or i would have raised my prices lol.

 

I see. Must be nice.

 

Would have been back when i used to spend the $$ on myself lol. When the economy kicks back in and people start dropping the money on gaming rigs it will be nice again.

 

Bump. Prices are negotiable to an extent.

 

Bump.

 

Bump.
