I assume, given the massive amounts of HDD space and RAM, that you're going to use it as a server? Mine just has a 150GB disk--it's just another low-cost cruncher for me

There are always coolers like this, but it is expensive

Build a mega server rig. Install recent games in it and start a LAN party then $$$ If I had one I would start a BF3 lan party here. Pretty popular and you can get sponsors so it take most of the expenses from your charge.

Great beast and deal

PS: When going to sale, will you keep those prices or you'll low them down?

I would imagine he would sell them for what he bought them for or only slightly higher due to the fact that its a non standard layout and would have to be benched or buy an expensive proprietary rack for it

I was just joking because the price is ridiculous, lowing them down will be almost impossible, specially the CPUs, that's why i told him "great deal", the PS was just kinda ironic

Anyway, thanks for the extra info

I just rebuilded this PC for myself during the time I wait to get more money.

Compaq Evo D51S SFF

UPGRADES

CPU: 2.4 to 2.8
Memory: 512megs ddr-266 to 2 gigs ddr-400

I also built this small setup only for someone who would like to surf the net, e-mails, YouTube, Facebook.

Antec case with 430w @-power psu (Made by Dynapower USA)
Asus P4B533
P4 FSB-533 2.4 gigs OC@2.8
GeForce Mx400 64megs AGP
