[WTB][US] Cheap computer

BarbaricSoul · Apr 30, 2010

Looking to buy a full system(tower only) for as little as possible. My current girlfirend's son is about to turn 17. Because of a deadbeat dad, this boy has never had anything nice that he could call his own. Really don't want to spend much more than $300 if I go with used. Here's a build I put together on newegg if I go new.

So what you got?

BarbaricSoul · Apr 30, 2010

Oh, almost forgot. I'm looking to buy next weekend, not this weekend.

I had a deadbeat dad, so I feel for him. It's awesome that you're doing this. I don't have a full system available, but I do have a Pentium e1200, 160GB HDD and some fans and maybe 4GB of Crucial Ballistix if they would be helpful. Yours for the cost of shipping for being a nice guy. Also, since you are in Southeastern Virginia, I could probably meet you somewhere instead of shipping the stuff.

BUCK NASTY · Apr 30, 2010

I'm in for whatever additional parts you need to get the rig running. I may be able to donate a 19" LCD monitor if needed.

xrealm20 · Apr 30, 2010

I should be able to scrounge up an unused psu and case - PM me - I'll let you have 'em for just shipping cost.

kenkickr · Apr 30, 2010

I have a 9800GT sitting here if you want it. $0

Frizz · Apr 30, 2010

I got some UV cathodes here, if you wanna make it look flashy just tell me, I'll give it to you for the price of shipping.

Too add to the bling if needed I could send a couple Antec Tri-cool 120mm blue-led fans with the 9800GT. Again, $0

Looking at this thread again, I've managed to dig up a.. 160GB Western Digital Caviar SE 7200rpm again for the price of shipping

This is such an incredible place with the very best of members!!! It never ceases to amaze me how the community will pull together to help a fellow member or family out when needed :rockout:

I was going to post that I can come up with some added items if needed, and still can, but from the looks of things, every thing seems to be covered :respect:

If anything else is needed, be sure to PM me regarding what is still needed!

Fricking TPU just Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kenkickr · Apr 30, 2010

No more 9800GT though. I just sold it. I have a Phenom II 965 though that could use a new home.

If Paulieg can't cover the ram I do have 3Gb of DDR2-667 laying around as well that could be all yours for...$0.

P.S. sorry Mods for the double posting. I get a spanking!?

theonedub · Apr 30, 2010

It looks like everyone has got you covered :cool:

Keep us updated with what you decide on and pick up, that way we can know if there are any other parts you need

JrRacinFan · Apr 30, 2010

If you need a 2GB stick of ddr3, I could part with it out of my tri kit, I'm game. Don't have any other spares available though, about 75% of my stuff got pitched when I moved. :ohwell:

kenkickr · Apr 30, 2010

Also if I can sell some stuff this weekend I will donate a Acer 22" 1680x1050 monitor.

Wow!!!!!! Just fricking Wow!! That is an awesome gesture Kickr!

Hell, if he don't take it, I damn sure will :laugh:

I would even be nice and pay for shipping :roll:

justinnn · May 1, 2010

I have a thermaltake lanbox if you happen to go matx that I can give up. Hell, I'm only 19 but I'm glad follow suit and help out.

It's the lanbox lite with the window on the side btw.

Thanks but I gotta sell some goods to donate to Barbaric...or you

PaulieG · May 1, 2010

Funny thing is, I don't think Barbaric has seen any of this yet. :laugh:

blkhogan · May 1, 2010

I would be willing to give also. I have 3 boys, none my own. All three have piece of shit "fathers". Father is a serious word, more like sperm donors. I feel for the boy. Let me know. :toast:

I have a new from RMA MSI AM2+/AM3 board.

You're right. He is in for a pleasant surprise for sure. I think everything he needs for a full computer is here waiting for him. Way to go TPU! :respect:
