|
|
I bought this computer on here a few months back. Love it to death, great gaming rig, but my daughter is about to be born, so no more free time. I'm selling it for $550 firm, which is $150 cheaper than I purchased it for. It comes with the monitor, and this is non-negotiable. I will not sell it without the monitor ... I have no use for it. Here are the specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition
Heatsink: Zalman CNPS8700 w/12cm silent fan. (the stock zalman fan was annoying)
RAM: 4GB Samsung DDR 800Mhz (2 free slots)
HD: Seagate 250GB
MB: GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H
GPU: Radeon 4670 w/ Zalman VF700 cooler
Power: Zalman ZM360B-APS
Wireless: iptime GO54P pci card with external antenna
External HD: LaCie designed by FA Porsche 250 GB
Case: Wixx HTPC case
Exhaust: Noctua 12cm. and two ENLOBAL 8cm fans.
Bluetooth: ASUS Bluetooth 2.1 USB plug
It also has one of those lighscribe dvd dual-layer burners.
*Edit* Just realized I don't have info on the monitor. It's a decent monitor...I'll get the specs soon.
None of the software is legit, including the games I have installed.
The guy I bought this from put a lot of work into this machine ... it's very nice. For more information, please read the info on this thread:

There hasn't been a game I've played yet that didn't run fine on the highest graphic settings and highest resolution. From what the original owner told me, the only game this system can't play smoothly on the highest graphic settings and highest resolution is Crysis.
I have Prototype and Batman: Arkham Asylum both running on the highest graphic settings and highest resolution, and both are as smooth as butter. |

Hmmmm...not having much luck finding a notebook, so I'll try this. Very interested...PM sent.
Just one question, can this beast handle Windows 7? |

| The 720 BE has an unlocked multiplier, so you can overclock it very, very easily. It's meant to do that, actually. It's a speedy value chip. Even with overclocking, it'll be more than fast enough. |

Hi fellows,
Thanks for all those replies. I have backed out of purchasing this because of some technical issues on our end (namely an old TV and no speakers). We're not in a position to upgrade our old computer and our old TV at the same time, so we had to make this decision.
This rig is an amazing deal, and those of you who have followed its history here know what it can do. If the only thing that causes it to hiccup, and then only slightly, is Crysis, then there is basically nothing this machine can't handle.
It's way more powerful than anything being offered on ESL Cafe, and it's at a price point that you can't beat. I want to jump on it, but our technical limits, and needs, have forced us to consider other options.
OP, good luck with the sale. This is the deal of the year on ESL Cafe! |

| I am willing to purchase the rig since I'm in need of a decent computer since my laptop just crashed out. I can't send any private messages yet but my email is [email protected] |

| Yes, the original owner was going to sell it with 8Gigs, but I only needed 4. It can hold 8 if that's your thing, though! I'll keep the thread updated if the guy before you doesn't want it! |

This was originally mine. As it was, I sold it at a pretty big loss, so whoever picks it up for this price is getting an amazing deal.
I held on to the extra 4 gigs, and sold them off separately. Actually, this motherboard can hold 4GB dimms, so you could upgrade it to 12GB with the current setup, or up to 16GB if you replace the ram in there.
I built this system to be as future proof as possible, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about. The monitor has a 1680x1050 resolution, which is the resolution where the 4670 can pump out smooth graphics on all current genertaion games at the highest settings. (except for crysis, but that game doesn't justify overspending on a video card). |

| I have 4 gig of RAM in my Windows 7 machine. I have yet to see the RAM usage counter widget go above 35%. |
