So…I’m doing a lot more video\graphics editing for my brothers UAlbany Men’s Basketball Blog (link) and I need something a little more beefier in terms of power to do HD video work. That being said, I have decided to sell my current system and build a new one.
This current computer is capable of playing any new game out there. To the serious gamers out there who actually care about frame rate, this probably isn’t top notch anymore, but to the normal gamer who just cares if the games skip or not…THIS. DOES. NOT. Call of Duty Black Ops and Mafia II (for example) ran on full settings without any slow downs noticeable to the eye.
I don’t have the exact specs right now (will update when I get home) but here is the gist of it:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit will come pre-installed - Link
Office 2007 Enterprise will come pre-installed (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook)
Wireless Logitech Keyboard (mouse is old and worn, but I can include it if you want)
I did a cart on NewEgg.com for a computer with similar specs and in todays PC world, that is worth $1,200 (I paid $2200 for this PC some time ago).
So, that being said, I’m looking to get $900 for this system OBO. I am negotiable to an extent.
I would buy my new computer - set it up - transfer all of the data, then format this computer and sell it to you. Just so we are clear on that and how
the deal would work. Many of you know me and have bought stuff from me before. You know I am straight forward and not here to screw anyone out of money.
That’s the gist of it. A couple of small things. Gonna run me about $3k. I’m hoping to keep it around closer to $2k after selling my current system which is still VERY serviceable and should last another 2 years before needing to be upgraded again. I upgraded to the quad CPU last year and 2GB of memory a little after that. I initially built this system with a Core 2 E6850 (in my other FS thread) in 2008.
Damn, this is exactly what I need for the machine shop for the SW/CAD crap. I’ve got renders that take over an hour to load on my current system and when they finally do they’re still glitchy and full of rough polygons.
Unfortunately do not have that kind of money lying around this time of year GLWS though
Well, keep an eye on this thread. It may take weeks to sell as this is overkill for most people (even though it is 2yrs old). This machine, when originally built, was the best you could buy. Your basic home PC is just catching up to these specs.
I don’t need the money to build my new one. I can build my new one right now, but I don’t want a PC sitting around in my room so I’d like to do the swap in the same time frame.
If it doesn’t sell within the next 2 weeks or so on CL and a couple of other forums, I probably will put it on EBay.
GLWS though
