I only need the flux capacitor for my time machine. Will you sell it separately?

I've only done this once before.

a good chunk of that asking price comes from the sound system and monitor. the z5500's are still top of the line speakers to this day and have not experienced much of a price drop. my calculations included each of these at $250. $1100 for a kickass system that still runs new games amazingly. It'll run fear at max settings, only slows down during big explosions.

i didnt think anyone would be interested in it on this forum, just made a prototype thread here first before taking it to nexopia

how much for the 6800??

Dude, Mark, I wasn't trying to be an asshole or anything... It's nice to see a Monitor and Speakers included. Maybe you should price everything individually?

I'm willing to bet your system didn't come with anything remotely close to these parts:
-Western Digital Raptor 74GB SATA
-Coolermaster TAC-T01 Wave Master
-Zalman CNPS7700-CU HSF
-Dell 2005FPW 20.1" Ultrasharp widescreen
-Logitech Z5500 Digital 5.1 Speakers

For one thing, a faster CPU != better system. Secondly, although pretty well any new computer would be faster on the processing end, that Raptor and high end memory make a big difference when you're actually gaming. He has a beautiful custom modded case, an extremely good monitor and sound system to compliment it.

------------------

Mark, I hope you can sell at that price. Outside the monitor/speakers the system is worth maybe 1000 bucks, you could probably get 1200 if you found the right sucker. The CPU/MB/RAM/VID is very dated, the rest of the system is pimping. Nobody appreciates the non-core parts these days.

Not a ferengi. This is more than a fair price. The system is a little old but decked out with nice gear. You should be able to get 1600 for it, just not here. If you part it out though, I'll be happy to buy that vid card from ya

nah i didn't take ur comment as assholeish. well ok maybe it was a little ashholeish, but i didn't write my reply to return the favour

saaaaall good

Thanks for the support and compliments on the system Reet. I did put a lot of work into the modding and wire management. I hope I can get a good price too

This thing's like a classic car to me. Still runs great, put a lot of work into it, it'd be an insult to part it out for next to nothing.

All those parts you listed (raptor, case, fan, monitor, speakers), brand new would cost over $1200 alone. Hell they don't even sell the case anymore. Don't know why, it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing cases I've ever seen. I think I might actually keep it and put the xps 720 into it if it's at all possible.

But yeah, I don't really wanna price out anything individually. I wish my new comp would arrive already so I could find out if I could reuse my coolermaster case. Unless that happens, it stays in one piece. However, I would be willing to part out the monitor and speakers by themselves.

$250 for the monitor
$250 for the speaker system (it'll shake your house)
$1000 for the system (i know no one here's interested in the whole thing, but just for the record).

Tell your friends!

Futuremark 05 score to come.

i dont think its worth $1600 myself

$1000 would be fair, the core components are pretty weak

A used HD, speakers is pretty much worthless, as ya never know what someone did to it

Point is, I doupt ya can sell that here, but ya might get 1200 in a public sale, 1600... wellllll, do people still buy 8086's for $2000 in the bargin finder these days?

latency · Post by **latency** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 5:47 pm

you do know he's including a 20" LCD right? $1600 is very fair. Like I said, go on buysell.com. You'll get that price for sure.
