Sony Vaio RA Desktop Computer & Accessories - Liquid Cooled $50 OBO

Classifieds

I’m Selling my old system that’s served me well for years. Don’t bother looking up the specs online as you won’t find them; this PC was custom optioned through Sony for myself. It was purchased in '05 and was not cheap, lol. It would be a great computer for a media center mule or work computer.

There are a few issues with it:

  1. Does NOT come with a hard drive. I have factory restore disks so that you can install a new HD and restore it to original factory settings.
  2. DVD writer / reader sticks and needs to be ejected sometimes by sticking a paperclip in the little hole.
  3. The case door is fickle… I don’t know why, but sometimes the computer will not boot when the door is closed. I haven’t explored this issue further as I bought a new PC and never bothered to. But this issue started literally the day after I bought my new PC.
  • The processor is a liquid cooled Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading, 3.8ghz or 4ghz… I can’t remember exactly. Note the hole in the side of the machine and radiator on the back.
  • Memory is 2gb.
  • Video card is an NVIDIA something… with 256mb I think … it might be 512mb.
  • Standard definition TV tuner.
  • TONS of inputs & outputs: s-video, RCA, coaxial, Firewire, Fiber-optic, USB, VGA and that silly connection the proceeded HDMI but that isn’t HDMI.
  • 2 optical drives (reader / writer combo & simple reader.)
  • Every other portable media input you can think if including good-ole-3.5" disks.
  • Comes with wireless mouse, wireless keyboard and remote control.
  • Comes with Logitech 5.1 surround sound speakers w/ sub-woofer.
  • Does NOT come with the monitor / TV pictured.

I don’t know what it’s worth honestly so feel free to low-ball, lol. $200 seemed low based on eBay searches for the store-bought models.

This was THE computer back in the day, I was super jealous when he bought this.

BUMP.

It plays Battlefield 2! Which I could include if someone is interested at no charge, lol.

4

no HD means no porn included?

you can say you didnt have any but i won’t believe you.

5

Wow! old school but defiantly a work horse! I think $150 would be a reasonable price with all the accessories included, and that connection you were thinking of was dvi.

On a side note $75 for just the tower is my offer I could use a htpc in the bedroom lol

Yeah I had to have the dial on the back turned all the way down when I used it, lol. There might be controls though windows to decrease the amount of bass output but I never looked.
