My Uber Gaming Computer

EDIT: The computer system is now on Ebay. Check it out at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...1617&rd=1&rd=1

Well, I fell for Newegg's 'no payments for 6 months' deal and was stuck with a huge bill in the end that I'd rather not pay off, so I'm going to part with my new system for a fraction of what I payed for it. It's sad that the prices have gone down so much in price already, but here is where it stands as of now price-wise:

Bump. Not even a little interest?

if one were to spend that much on a computer, they may as well go new and build one to their own specs. good luck though.

If they wanted to take the time to source/build the performance system themselves, and still find that they'd have saved money by buying a pre-built one..then sure. Thanks for the input.

Is there a reason you went to other sites to get the highest possible price on teh video card? Unless i'm mistaken..

The bottom one is open box, and I've received a dud open box item from Newegg before, so I never buy those. I didn't do it to find the highest price...I was looking for the lowest price from a popular website. Feel free to correct it if you find a lower price. I'm not here to rip you guys off.

EDIT: Oh, and that's a X1900XT...not an X1900XTX like I'm selling. There's a noticeable difference in performance.

I'll give you 6 series euro bumpers for the video card. Easily worth $500 for the pair... I'll throw in some beer.

Nice machine, but not my kind of video card. Geforce 8800 GTX ftw.

[euroshark]

Doesnt the 8800 GTX have bad issues with Red Orchestra?

Yea...and that card runs like $100 more expensive than the X1900XTX doesn't it? What don't you like about the X1900XTX?

Just for my own information. How did you fall into the trap of no payments for 6 months?

I think you are supposed to split it into 6 payments and pay it off over those 6 months and then no interest... correct?

Bump for good gear there. I like my Full Tower Thermatalke Case!

Well what they did with me is sent me monthly payments of like $10 up until the 6 months were up, and then it started increasing. The APR was 20-something % I believe, so I'd rather not deal with that. I ran into some big unexpected financial issues during those 6 months and was unable to pay back the amount before the interest kicked in. Yea your case is a good one. I built a few systems using it..lots of room to work with! It did seem to get a bit loud though.

Anyways, this is $1400+S&H OBO, so send me a private message if you'd like to work out a deal.

Bump! I'll make the new price $1400 SHIPPED!

I want to apologize for making what would be considered a negative comment, I didn't realize this was a F/S thread So sorry about that...


I have nothing against the X1900XTX, amazing card. But I've been an Nvidia loyalist since the Geforce 256 (back in '99 I believe?) That's all :D

GL with the sale, my machine has much of the same gear

No problem. I've actually been a biased Nvidia fan since the beginning for no good reason. Although when I was building this system, I read up on the X1900XTX and it sounded promising. Turns out that the card kicks some serious ass. I can run max settings on any of my games with my widescreen resolution with no problems whatsoever.
