I was recently fortunate enough to buy some "older" PCs from work at really good prices. I got myself:
Core i7 920 CPU
ASUS Rampage 2 Gene motherboard
8 Gigs DDR3 RAM (which I upgraded to 12 Gigs triple channel)
2 x 1TB hard drives
EN210 graphics card
Small case with 200W PSU
I also got an i5 for MalicE, and some additional C2D and C2Q systems, which is for sale on Carbonite.co.za.
As you can see, I need:
- New Case
- New PSU
- New GFX
I told the people on Carbonite that my items are for sale or trade, and I have since:
- Sold 2 x quad cores full PCs for R1500 each (need to keep the money for an upcoming birthday, so cannot spend on required parts)
- Swapped a complete Core 2 Duo for a Coolermaster CM690 Advanced 2 Case with USB3 and windowed side panel
If anyone is interested in buying or trading for the items I need, please check out my Carbonite forum post and let me know. I am open to suggestions. Ideally I am looking for:
- A Corsair AX750W Modular PSU
- A Graphics card of +- R2000 (Joker suggester the 7850 / 7870 IIRC, not sure about the price range)
Let me know if you want to buy or trade from me!
I built the PC into the new case last night, and figured that my 450W PSU's cables are too short. See the image below:
