This kid locally is selling this rig....

Selling custom built gaming computer. Here are the specs:
- Thermaltake Armor Case
- Bluray Drive
- 2 Intel Xeon E5420
- SUPERMICRO MBD-X7DAL-E-O ATX Server Motherboard
- 6 GB of Ram
- Evga 9500GT Graphic Card
- 1 TB Western Digital Hard Drive
- Coolermaster 600W Power Supply
- Creative Sound Card
- Windows 7 Installed
This computer works great and is amazing for CPU intensive tasks since it has two CPU’s. It is also great for gaming. Great for back to school! I am also including 12 computer games. I am looking to get $500 OBO with games or $475 OBO without.

It's local and how would it be for crunching and F@H?

I think it would do decent for crunching since it has 2 CPU's in it. The 9500GT on the other hand...

Id offer $425 with out the games. That is an older CPU and it seems to be LGA 771 so it might not perform as well as a quad core of today's standard.

EDIT: Then again, im sure an i3 may be able to out perform that machine. You could easily spend that sort of cash on a newer machine and it would output better numbers.

Great for gaming? Lol not even.
That Gpu is going to seriously limit you in gaming..
Crunching maybe..

I see a lot of antiquated parts.. If I were you.
I'd save my money and build a better rig..

Any modern quad core will destroy a dual LGA 771 setup. The FX system looks like a much better deal IMO.
