This computer is good for someone who wants to do video editing or audio recording related work. I was going to do some video editing and recording, but haven't gotten around to it. This machine is very big and heavy. I'm thinking of downgrading so that's why I'm putting it up for sale.
I realize most people on this board are not going to need this kind of machine, but on the off chance there is, I'm posting it. Those who are genuinely interested will know the true value of it.
Asking price: 2.2mil for the set or best REASONABLE offer. I have all the original boxes but because of size and weight, any sale would have to be in person. You come and pick it up and I can reimburse you for the bus trip. I'm in Sokcho, Gangwondo.
Spliff as much as you want, but I don't have to sell it. If it doesn't go, I'll just continue using it.
Don't quote ebay prices because they are irrelevant seeing as it would cost a fortune to bring one into Korea. If you want to haggle, show me local prices for machines with the same specs and add-ons.
If you have any more questions or serious inquiries, please PM me or email me at fasequeira @ hotmail DOT com

The brand new PC system, you mean. Not MAC, Spliff. The price looks reasonable even by Ebay standards. Trouble with selling high-end electronics on this board is that few English teachers want to shell out for a system like this while they are teaching English and paying off their student loan. Not that it's impossible, but few foreigners are doing the sort of video or audio work that requires a system like this. Especially when you consider that a consumer Mac, like my 2.4 ghz mac book, can easily record 24 tracks of audio at 96khz. What waygook needs more processing power than that? Spliff? Just for fun, ask Spliff what he actually does with his dual quad system 
I am also trying to sell some higher-end gear and I think the way that I am going to go is to hire one of my college students to put them on a Korean auction site. If the box doesn't sell here, I suggest you try that route also.

If you mean the LCD, I can't sell it separately unless the tower goes alone first. Otherwise I have a computer with no monitor.. |

He probably uses it to keep the hundreds of different eslcafe thread windows that he posts on all day long open at the same time! |

| This sounds VERY enticing indeed.. Since you live so far away (I'm in Seoul), how would the transaction go down? please pm me. |

Seems like the point still holds to me. I just ordered parts for a brand new system that stomps that one for $886. I can put OSX on there and still have money to buy another whole system and STILL have $400 in my pocket compared to this.
Sorry OP, don't mean to spoil your fun but don't worry the die hard mac people won't care anyway so you should be safe. |

Like I said, someone who knows what they want, knows what they are getting.
Current price on danawa for one of the CPU's alone is 650,000. This computer has 2. Your system probably doesn't include a monitor either.
If you're not interested in it, that's fine. By the sounds of it, you wouldn't know what to do with it anyways, so it WOULD be a waste of money. There is a reason most video and sound editing professionals use MACs. It's not just a status symbol.
By the way, you CAN put OSX on a regular PC system, but you need to buy compatible hardware or write new kexts to support the hardware you have. The OSX86 project is good, but the system is not stable. It is also only good until the next update. Then you have to wait for the hackers to modify and test the updates.
I don't know why I'm even debating this. People who know about MACs already know all this. If you want a PC build your two rigs. No sweat off my back. |

I can deliver the system. I have the boxes for everything and I can drive it to you. The delivery companies won't do it because it is too heavy and the value is too much.
You would also want to try it out to make sure it's ok.
If you come here, I'll deduct the bus trip from the price. |

Hey there. I thought you were doing the standard ad gimmick and didn't realize you were pulling 2 dual core xeons in there. I was also assuming you were running this processor, not the fancy version. (Assuming you DO have the fancy version...)
As such, mine would still stomp it in games (and DOES include a 22inch monitor - I'm pretty good at value hunting), but your mac there would definitely stomp it in server tasks, video compiling, and such.
With the processing power taken into account this would actually be less overpriced than Macs normally are. Sorry OP. (But to be fair, you really ought to list the model number on the processor.) |
