Chad's For Sale Thread

Hey everyone!

I have decided to work on a different design build for my gaming PC. I've noticed over time that I am using my Mac less and less and the purpose of this build is to make me like my Mac all over again, and have a much more portable machine for going to LANs with.

Everything listed here is priced or OBO (or best offer), please make me an offer! I accept PayPal and will ship (shipping prices vary) / drop off (depending on location), though I do not want to wait all the way until the LAN v.11 to get paid so we can work something out.

I'd rather sell to a forum member than to random people on eBay, and will adjust pricing accordingly.

Antec Kuhler 620 www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=Mjc2OA==&lan=us ($25)

Patriot Memory 16GB (4x4GB) patriotmemory.com/products/detailp.jsp?p...d=194&id=1042&type=1 (will sell individually if requested) ($50 for complete)

EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 550ti www.evga.com/articles/00618/ ($100)

nVidia branded GeForce GTX 550ti (great SLI companion for the EVGA card!) ($95)

OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD ($75)

OCZ 600W modular PSU ($30)

Cooler Master CSX Case (the green flamed one) ($275)

Acer 20" LED monitor ($65)

Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 mobo ($45)

Most of these items have only been lightly used. Like I said I'm building a new rig and have these parts left over. Thanks for looking!

I ship UPS but an additional shipping charge will be added for shipping. I do get a small discount on UPS shipping, so a flat rate of $10 on all the items (except the CASE) will apply for shipping.

Fantastic, just LMK!

I'd go for the CPU fan, been meaning to upgrade from a stock cooler... How easy is it to attach? Does one need access to the bottom of the mobo?

Yes. First time it's kinda a PITA. I had to YouTube search how to do it. It's not hard, just not that intuitive.

Sad. My case has a cutout to be able to do that... but my motherboard CPU doesn't line up with it so I have no access.

I'm trying to figure out if i should upgrade from my curent GTX 260 to your GTX 550 ti... According to this thread i found, it wouldn't be a good upgrade for me. But can anyone else weigh in on their points?

Thanks (from your resident noob)

Yeah, there is a small bracket that is required to go on the bottom of the mobo to mount the cooler. I had to initially remove my board to get to it.

I put a new heatsink on my PC and had to take it all apart again. It's actually a good time to clean out the nooks and crannies that aren't typically reached with just a can of air at the angles you can get to without removing the motherboard. Plus it's a good time to re-run all your power cables and really clean up your PC to show off the new goods!
