PC For sale
@ Hardware forum

I am selling my computer to replace it with a laptop making transport to and from university a lot easier for me. If this wasn't the case I would not be selling this computer. It is in perfect condition and more than good enough for my required needs.

Most of the parts are just under a year old (September last year). It was not a pre-bought computer, so all the parts were chosen and bought (from Overclockers.co.uk) and then assembled. It has been working perfectly for me for the last year.

Basic Specs:

ThermalTake Tsunami Tower
Intel C2D 2.66GHz E6750
nForce 650i Ultra PCI-E DDR2 Motherboard
2x1GB PC2-8500 SLI-Ready DDR2 RAM
580W SLi ready powersupply
Windows Vista Home Premium
8800GTS 320mb
1x36GB WD 10K Raptor
1x160GB WD Harddrive
DVD R/RW

Here are the detailed spec's.

Case: ThermalTake Tsunami Dream.
This case has 3 fans, front, rear and one on the side window. With a front openable door, and easy removable PCI/(E) slots, CD/DVD drives, or anything else you want to add to the computer, using screwless sliders. It comes with plenty of spare sliders, as well as the keys to lock the doors of the case. It has 4 USB ports on the back panel, and 2 more on the top. There is also a Firewire port (I have not plugged this into the motherboard), as well as audio in and out on the top of the computer. More details can be found here - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-010-TT

PowerSupply: Hiper 580W HPU-4M580 SLi Certified ATX2.2 PSU
Powersupply that easily gives enough power to everything I could ever want on the PC. Power definitely hasn't been a problem. More details of the powersupply can be found here - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-009-HP

Motherboard: EVGA nForce 650i Ultra (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (122-CK-NF66-T1) - White Box
Motherboard is a very popular make, EVGA and is part of the nForce brand. Drivers are really easy to get for the motherboard from the site, and it works wonders with the computer. More details can be found here: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-003-EA

RAM: OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz SLI-Ready Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2N1066SR2GK)
2GB of RAM is more than enough for the time being, and there is still room on the motherboard for another 2GB if needed. THis is very quick RAM (PC8500) and even using the computer very intensively I have yet to find a situation where on the task manager it says Memory is at full capacity. More details of the RAM can be found here: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-082-OC

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.66GHz (1333FSB) - Retail
This is a very quick Dual Core processor. I have never found that I needed a QuadCore, as this is more than capable of running everything I throw at it, and that is quite a lot. It has the standard Heatsink attached to it, but that heatsink is easily replaceable. It has not been overclocked at all, and so is still at factory settings. This is also while running 2 x 17" monitors both running at 1280x1024. More details can be found here: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-157-IN

Graphics: OcUK GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
This graphics card is DirectX 10 compatible, from Nvidia, and is very easy to find new drivers for as and when they come out. I have been using this card for all the different games I play, Call of Duty 4 (all on high graphics), Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Assassin's Creed, World in Conflict, Crysis (Medium settings) and plenty more. It has not had any problems with any of these games.

Harddrive: This computer will come with 2 harddrives in it: 1xWesternDigital 36GB 10k Raptor (see http://www.superwarehouse.com/Western_Digital_36_GB_SATA150_Internal_Hard_Drive/WD360ADFD/p/1509680) that I have used just for Programmes and OS, and then a Western Digital Caviar Blue 160GB SATA-II 8MB Cache (see https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-118-WD) that I use for all my data.

CD/DVD Drive: Samsung DVD R/RW rewriter. I have not got the exact model details of this, but it does its job perfectly. You can write to DVD's quickly and effectively, and it reads all forms of DVDs.

OS: The computer comes with Windows Vista Home Edition Premium, the original CD and a CD Key. However, if preferred I can install XP on the machine and provide you with the key (I do not have the original disk but I do have the original key).

I will send the computer with all the original manuals for the components, except for the 2 x harddrives and the sound card (miss placed those). I can send the computer fully formatted with both harddrives blank to allow you to install Vista/XP from scratch, or with Vista preinstalled, that is up to you. I also have a tonne of spare wires/cables etc etc. If you think you will need any I am willing to send them with it, just ask. But all the required computer cables will be provided.

I will send the computer via courier, or you can pick up if you are local (Sheffield area). If you are interested, please reply to this thread and I will contact you personally.

I am accepting offers anywhere in the region of £400 with £20 postage/packaging costs as extra.
