Be Excellent To Each Other

Having just about managed to upgrade my PC, I now have spare shit. Namely.

Asus motherboard
Fitted with:
Athlon 64 3700+ @ 2.2ghz
1.5gb RAM
Wireless network card, PCI

I also have the GeForce 6800, but I believe Sinister Agent wishes to bag this in return for a box of star bars

Anyone interested in this stuff? To make a working PC you'd need a case, a graphics card, and a hard drive. All relevant manuals/drivers are kicking around somewhere. My office is currently an explosion of discarded packaging and unused PC components.

How much do you want for it all (including postage)?

No bloody idea, whatever you reckon is fair, I'll trust your conscience

Heh damn.. I've no idea either! I just fancied building up a spare PC. Anyone out there got a good guess?

I'll give you double what Devilman just offered!

Somewhere shy of £150, I reckon.

A long way shy.

Unless you mean the postage.

Blimey. I was quite a way out there then.

£70 + postage would do it then, I suppose

I'll do you an amazing deal whereby I'll send everything to you first, so you can plug it in and confirm it all still works, before coughing up. Nowt more embarassing then sending off a load of stuff only to find it's buggered itself in transit.

9867 bananas.

I want it all for £9.99 shipped and I want you to give me £15 for this lovely set of Kokeshi doll postcards.

The only thing your friend would get from me is a world of pain.

I have 2x512 meg of laptop RAM here. PC2-4200S if that means anything to anyone.

Open to reasonable offers. Suspect its not worth that much.

My polish man gave me good Ebay feedback. Which was nice. See foreigners don't always have to be bad.

Wish that cunt who sold me that Atari 7800 game on WOS had done that. Cunt took the money and never sent the game. Cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt!

Did it cost much? Who the fuck was that?

A WHOLE CUNTING FIVER! GRRRRRR!

Paypal reveals it was someone called Kevin Bufton.

In all seriousness, I couldn't give two hoots except I really wanted to play the 7800 version of Commando.

Did you want this then Mr. Devil?

I assume he's waiting for a price point.

Whats it cost in star bars? I want to work out GHz per stab conversion rate.

Actually I'll have to pass on this stuff anyway as I can't really justify the money now. Sorry to have wasted your time CG.

No time wasted, I had/have no specific plans for the stuff anyway

Wireless card looks nice.....

You can pay me in ISK. No, really.

You have to be joking, surely.

Is ISK slang for angry gay sex?

I'm not joking, and don't call me shirley.

Right then, further to this, I have taken my spare components below:

Asus A8V motherboard
Athlon 64 3700+ @ 2.2ghz
1.5gb RAM
Wireless network card, PCI
AGP GeForce 6800

A put them in a brand spankers PC case, along with a new 80gb Seagate hard drive. I've put it all together, tested it, and it appears to work. I've also formatted the new drive into a single 80 gig partition. I've also picked up a new USB keyboard and mouse for it, which will be included.

I was also going to include an old pioneer dvd-rw, but a quick test shows that it's dead, or rather, it wouldn't boot a windows boot disk , so a cd/dvd drive is still required.

Apart from this, it's a tidy complete box, and is for sale.

Ace indicated the original stuff was worth about £70, and now includes the gfx card, and taking into account thecost of the new stuff I''ve added today I'm probably looking for something around the 150ish mark.

You should mention it comes with a years worth of angry 24 hour phone support which consists of you verbally abusing the person who purchased the machine whenever they call. Or just being put on hold for 4 hours before speaking to someone with a ludicrous Dutch accent, like the old days of phoning Packard Bell.

"Hello crazy dude, this is Packard Bell. Sorry for the delay but we've been smoking the dope".

Which Os and is it legit?

No OS preloaded, brand new hdd remember?

I'm tempted to offer 70 quid, including postage.

I'm tempted to both turn you down and set you on fire.

Swap it for a knackered pug 205 XS. Needs tax, MOT and about 100 quids worth of parts....

Swap it for 4 billion isk and a couple of nice ships.

I'll give you a fiver more if you give me the PC but still set him on fire.

You'd only carebear the shit up in them, and not use them for piracy.

With 4 billion isk, I can take risks. I've only got 11 days left on my sub atm.

Best offer so far.

Incredibly I've just found another motherboard (Asus SK8V) that still has a processor in it. A bit of cleaning suggests its an AMD Opteron (AMD Opteron 142 (1 WAY) 1.6ghz 64 Bit Socket 940) that I bought in 2004sh. It comes with 512mb ram (Crucial 512MB DDR 400MHz/PC3200 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL3 ) and another AGP graphics card. I might have to test this and see if it works

Aye, but I think my offer is a fair one, seeing as you've been hawking it around here for 10 weeks or so, and it's second hand stuff.

£70? Given the new case and hdd cost me over £50, I think I'll pass on your lunatic offer. £140-150 for a complete PC of this caliber is more than reasonable, so I suppose eBay it is.

I'd stick it in the local free-ads. Ebay is rammed full of PC's like that.

True, it's been a while since I sold one here and all I can see are BIN's for tat bottom-grade systems touted to sound good. I've listed it now anyway - if you filter out the crap you can find the genuine listings made by people like me.
