Motherboard: Asus PB-MX Price 350 RMB / 53 USD Video Card: Focus Nvidia GT 9500 1GB Edition Price 330 RMB / 50 USD Power Supply Unit eluxe ATX - 380 Watts = 390 RMB / 59 USD Chassis:Mid Tower (Honestly i do not know which company) 200 RMB/30 USD Processor: Intel E2180 Duo Core 2 GH.z Can be easily overclocked to over 3Ghz ( which i can do for you (free)) Price 310 / 47 USD Hard Disk Drive: WD Caviar Blue SATA 160GB 8MB of Chache (WD1600AAJS) 100 RMB / 16 USD DVD/CD- RW: LG X18 giving away for free RAM Kingston 800 MHZ DDR2 2G X2 130 RMB for 2 ram sticks 19 USD Total Price 1801 RMB or 271 USD,

271 would be estimate perfect price for this pc this days i droped it down to 150 USD >_<

Here are some pics aswell

I know this motherboard is ugly T_T
I also said i would do free OC if the anyone would wish to buy a bit better cooler and would mod the chassis, like cut the window hole,install leds/neons, and do the sleeving all just for 30 USD >_< ( you know just to buy all the supplies)

It run great for 2 years ,I constantly cleaned it and it had great performance

maxed out Borderlands without AA 40-50 fps

So could you kind people of OCN evaluate this rig for me and tell me what would you do with it or how much would you pay etc etc etc

maybe worth 150 but thats a strech. Its all out dated

$150 seems right but I guess it all depends on what things go for in China.

Barebones systems start at $250 here. eg. Athlon II x3/4 + 4gb DDR3 ram...

The thing is in Shanghai , well lets say not a lot of people will know difference between hd4850 and gtx 260. Over all there are not a lot of computer literate people. And most dont do anything besides facebook.

The same is true in Canada, the US or anywhere.

Fishing for noobs ?

Edit

Never underestimate people.

 

[taintedmind]

guess so... but most people who I try to sell to are expats just like myself or schoolmates.
But the Irony is that majority of these expats are quite rich here on a big payroll so they buy this 36" lcd tvs and rent cars but they say "Noooo man.... desktops are not portable ! I already have a Laptop/netbook/mac at home"

I go on trying to explain the difference between mac/pc, laptop/desktop and thats like talking to a ******ed, deaf and blind person... they just dont want to listen... >_>

 

[HunT3R.!]

$150 tops!

now... you just made me feel bad T_T cmon it's a decent pc for... normal tasks

 

[reyo]

correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm assuming you bought it for 270 USD, that doesn't mean it's worth at least 270 USD; it's SO outdated
market-price-wise, maybe 100-120ish, but it rli depends on the person
personally, a machine this outdated doesn't worth a penny to me
even if someone gave it to me for free, it'd just be sitting there wasting space

so, no offense man, but you might as well keep it for porn or something

 

[reyo]

even my netbook outperforms this, honestly lol

 

[Canis-X]

Yeah, my old lappy would give it a run for it's money. You may get good interest if you put it up for $80-$90. You could always say $xxx OBO...take the best price someone would be willing to give you.

I'll answer what people do in China... the stereotypical way.

Everyone like my mom buys laptops now a days and watches drama, etc, game shows, take them anywhere. If their computer works, it watches stuff, then no need for "that"

Also 300 bucks in China.. well let's say I'd be able to eat one helluva grand dinner with friends for a week lol. China beri beri cheep u kno (because I'm Chinese myself haha)
Chinese hate buying computers lol, they don't like to spend money unless you go to Hong Kong, more civilized people there.. (lol, no offense to any other low class Chinese here)
GL lol!

 

[SomeRandomDude]

Sell it for 99.99 USD.

 

[StormXLR]

[3dfxvoodoo]
