Hello,
I have been trying to sell this box for the past couple weeks. The box is brand new. I am selling it because originally this was suppose to be the newest addition to my hosting company but I found some great deals on rackmount servers instead. So now I am trying to sell this box off.

Here are the specs:
- Midtower Aopen Case
- 1.7 GHz Pentium 4 Processor
- Abit BD-7 RAID Motherboard (Has Onboard IDE RAID Controller)
- 512 MB PC2100 266 MHz Crucial DDR RAM
- 2 60GB 7200 RPM Maxtor Hard Drives IDE
- Belkin 10/100 NIC

Just post your offers in here or PM me

Thanks,
Greg

Where is the box physically located?

Right now the box is at my house in Ames, IA

IA is..... Indiana right?
Sorry I don't know my states all that well, not from the US...:rolleyes:

What sorta price you lookin at?

Chris

IA = Iowa

I'm looking to get around $960 out of this box + shipping

Thanks,
Greg

I wish I wasn't about to buy a truck... :(

Iowa.... I shoulda known that...

if you don't get offers, then please really concider my offer of 700u.s. dollars and also acknowledge that this is all the money i have in my bank and i really want a new computer....i'm only 16!

I'm sorry but I can't sell this box at a loss. I thought I would try and offer this box to web hosting talk members first as a whole instead of going and parting it out.

Thanks,
Greg

how much is S+H

also any gfx / sound cards?

here's some questions:

what's on the harddrive right now
how much more ram can i get in there
how many more hard drives can i get in there

Shipping and handling will be approximately $50 via FEDEX depending on where the box is going.

There is a 16MB video card in the box right now but there is not a sound card.

Redhat 7.1 is currently installed on the box

I will not be adding any RAM or Hard Drives to this box so what you see is what you get.

Thanks for the questions,
Greg

I figured that, but I wanted to know what the maximum size available on the board is....

- The case has three 5.25" bays and three 3.5" bays

- The motherboard supports up to 2 GB of DDR RAM

- Oh I forgot to mention earlier when the question was posed about a sound card... the box isn't totally lacking a sound card because the motherboard has onboard sound

Mind letting us in on where you found the great deal on rackmounts.

If anyone has a great source for 1u rackmounts I would greatly appreciate the info.

Thanks

Couldn't someone go to TigerDirect or a similar place and get a system like this new, for just about that much, give or take a little, and also have the warantee that way? Where did you get this and how much did you pay? You stated you didn't want to take a loss, but I hope that doesn't mean you want to get what you paid for it new. Is there any other hardware options for this system, or is that all it's got? I.e., is there a choice of the system without Maxtor drives and maybe another brand instead -- of is this the already put together system and that's just what it's going to be?

You can get a Athlon XP 1700 for that =)

I built this computer myself and what I'm asking is what I paid for it... nothing more. This is a what you see is what you get deal.. There isn't going to be any options to add hardware to it.

Thanks for the q's,
Greg

ok if you still fell like selling to a poor teen like me i'll get you 800 bucks somehow....

ok how about $1300 canadian,

Prices at Tigerdirect, although I couldn't find the board.
P4 1.6 GHZ CPU $170
512 DDR PC2100 RAM $140
Mid tower Case $ 50-ish
2 Maxtor 60 GIG 7200 RPM drives $250
Belkin NIC $ 35
Board? I don't know yet, say $120 to $170.

So, $755 - $815, roughly.

Throw in a CD ROM, Heatsink, Floppy and $50-oddish for any off prices and we have about $960 new (or less, possibly), pretty much at most. All under warantee and you can get immediate refunds or replacements if something goes wrong. I think it's reasonable to expect to get between $600 and $700 for it since it's not new, from a computer shop like Tigerdirect. Shipping will run you about the same too. You simply can not expect anyone reasonable to want to pay the same price they can get it new, when buying from a private party. Having nothing to do with the fact that they don't know how old it is, how hot it might have gotten, etc. No offense, but I just think it's unreasonable to expect that much -- even if it is a nice system and pretty much the same quality as new, I'm sure (other than I'd not have used Maxtor drives, personally).

Tim,
Like I have said the box is brand new... I built it a couple weeks back. If someone wants to go and buy the same box from Tiger Direct that is perfectly fine with me. I'm simply trying to get the best price possible for this box since I have no use for it now.

Greg

I didn't mean to give the impression that it's not worth it, since it's new, etc. I also wasn't trying to steer people to another source to get the same thing either. I was simply trying to suggest why you might want to not seek the same amount, so you can sell it, if even at a small loss. However, if it's worth it to someone, that's all that matters. I'd rather have a mid/full tower system over a rack personally and I'm sure there's other's that feel the same. I suppose this is an opportunity for someone to get a full system where it's altogether and know all the parts work (and work together) and that might be a plus for some people. Good luck.
