That's not even that good of a deal.

 

I remember that post few weeks ago. He was at first like "I want $999" and I was like there is no way he would sell it. After email and offering him money, I even offered more, but he never responded.

 

Holy crap. The running total for my rig (including the incoming 480) is well over two grand. I would've picked that up in a heartbeat.

 

Yeah the total so far on my rig that I just sold was at 2,000 with changing the case a couple of times, the video card etc. I dunno, I don't like craigs list for computer related purchases. Always seems like a great deal and either it's a lie or scam or the stuff has been abused like crazy.

Fail to see how it's not that great of a deal, when only pricing the processor, memory and 2x video cards on Newegg is ~$400 more expensive. Now add in 2x 1TB hard drives, OS, case, cooling - and the deal looks even better.

Hmm...I just e-mailed him and he responded within a couple minutes. I only asked if he still had it for sale though. Answer was: yes.

Yeah, true, but I do have a little more faith in something coming from the Laguna Hills area, there really are a lot of rich family's and kids out there so a deal like this really wouldn't surprise me.

Not a bad deal at all

I got this awesome custom desktop for my birthday and my parents don't know I stopped playing video games... I asked for high end photography equipment only.

If he would take $1800 and you verified the components then this would be one hell of a deal!

Ive stated before that every time i hear about Fermi I think of Furbi. So its a good idea to add that...kinda.

being the parents I would be pissed to have spent $3800+ on (old hardware/alienware) a computer to have the recipient just quick sell it off @ half price.

 

No mention of MB model and PSU, which to me are 2 most important things. What good is a 980x if you cant OC it hehe

 

Latest I7 980X Processor (Quad core 3.73 GHz Processor)

it is and the 980x runs at 3.33. Seems fishy...

 

Puzzles me why he doesn't just tell his parents he doesn't need it, return it, suck up the 10% or 15% restock fee, and end up with more money than he would by selling it?

 

I'd kill for a 980X.

LOL +rep

 

I saw this case in Best Buy today, and I was thinking to myself: what a crappy case

it is true, alienware cases are NOT for overclockers. the air-flow and design are rubbish if you are interested in keeping temps down. i say this from owning one myself.

however, you can't argue that this is a fantastic deal if you just look at the parts involved. i would kill for that cpu. plus, you can always gut the pc and get your own case.

 

I agree this is a good deal.

I've had a chance to see one of the new Alienwares in person and I have to admit I really like them.

Its at 3.83 because thats what Alienware OCs it to (pretty damn low if you ask me any of us). I'm offering him a Nikon 24-70, lets see if he bites... If he does, that lens is only worth like 1450, and then I'll part out the computer and buy another 24-70!
