Hi all,
Running very low on money atm so unfortunately it looks like I will have to sell one of my gaming PCs (or both!).
Specs are in my sig, you get everything there except hard drives and OS. I am also selling both screens.

PC number 1 is a no expense spared monster PC. E8400 @ 3.8GHz (can go way higher, had it at 4.5 a while ago), Maximus Formula X38 with modded Rampage Formula X48 Bios (can restore original if preferred) and 4GB DDR2. Graphics are handled by the BFG GTX280. The CPU and northbridge are watercooled by a MCR220 radiator coupled to D5 pump, 1/2" tubing, res etc. Case is a Cosmos S, sprayed black in the interior (by me) and looks stunning. This PC is not that quiet but is extremely fast and can run anything you throw at it with ease!
Pic:



PC number 2 is a quiter PC, with slightly lower spec. By quiet I mean virtually silent, the Cosmos is an amazing (although massive!) case that is barely audible. The PSU is inaudible and very high quality (Antec NeoHE 550W). Asus P45 P5q mobo and overclocked E7200 cooled by the classic Freezer 7 Pro make the core of the machine and are very nippy. It feels about as fast as Pc number 1 in everyday use. It starts up extremely quickly and feels great. Graphics card is a Zotac 8800GT AMP, these were the fastest 8800GTs made IIRC and use faster memory than most other 8800GTs out there. It is not as fast as current high end cards but still handles pretty much all games with high settings very well.
Pic:



I am also selling my two 24" screens. First is the Samsung 245B, great screen with an amazing stand that can tilt, swivel and alter height of screen. Inputs are DVI and VGA.
Pic:



Second is the Benq G2400W, this has an HDMI input (as well as DVI and VGA) with 1:1 option so you can run a 360 or PS3 through it and it will keep the aspect ratio. They are both great screens and are perfect cosmetically.
Pic:



Now for prices:
PC number 1: looking for £900 but am open to offers
PC number 2: looking for £500 but again am open to offers.
Samsung 245B: £160
Benq G2400W: £180

I will also chuck in a keyboard and mouse for each of the PCs if wanted.

I may also sell my Z-5500s, you can see them in the picture of the samsung screen. Would want £130 for them.

I think both are 1000:1 static and 5ms. Great for games, never noticed and ghosting or anything.

Well I wasn't planning on it but I guess they could be! Which one were you interested in? The Benq would be a lot easier to send as I have the original box so I could do that for £180 or the Samsung for £170 inc. How does that sound?

Probably not unless I get enough interest to justify it! What parts would you want?

Hmm could sell all that for £425? Not 100% that I can split but that's the price I would sell that for if I did. Sound good?

Well I could sell that all for about £190 but not sure if I want to split yet.

I thought they were priced quite fairly tbh. Can't include any HDDs because they are full of all my data and I've got nothing to back them up onto! I did say I'm open to offers though...

Two very nice setups there will. Hope the sell goes well, and the cash flow problem ends quick snap.

I'm looking for a Quad at the moment and have a couple bids on eBay, but if they fall through then i may be interested in the speakers, so if you do want to sell them let me know!
