New Gaming Machine for Sale

Post by Skelo » Wed Jul 20, 2005 5:47 pm

Hey guys, I am just getting my new system all together and will be looking to sell the old one. I thought I'd offer it here to the Sim Central guys before I put it out on Trademe or whatever.

The system is as follows:

Thermaltake Tsunami Black Windowed Case (Blue LED's)
Enermax 550W PSU (EG 651P-VE)

Soundblaster Audigy PCI Hardware Sound
2 x Western Digital 36GB Raptor HDD's (10,000 rpm) RAID Array
Sony 52X CD Rom and FDD if required

Will come Formatted with all boxes/software that came with it
NO Operating System.
NO Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse..... Just the case, internals and the packaging.
Does 5000 - 5500 3DMark 05

Price: Negotiable but approx $1800 - 2000. + Courier unless I can get work to fork for it.

would it be able to be sold as parts or does all have to go together?

hehe i've already got the second GB.
But you have to be careful at the moment. There are still alot of systems that drop the speed back to ddr333 over 1 GB of Ram.

Trooper, it would depend on what items someone would want to buy seperately

For the "badest bitch in town" I sure do feel more than slightly nerfed.

I have sold my old system. It leaves at the end of this week.
I have my internet connection capped and it is currently faster to post information anywhere.
I have 2 cheques waiting to be cleared, thanks the WestSack they won't be done until saturday and Tuesday next week.
That leaves me "systemless" for a whole weekend + the time it takes to get half my shit in the country.

Maybe after I awake from this nightmare I will post up some stats...
then again, maybe i'll just hold them until I blow the cap out again from whoring BF2 to make up for the 3 weeks off :Puke: :Puke:

Bring on 20GB Gamer plans!!!
First ISP to do it will make a mint.....

(Yes I have told them)
