Hey guys,

 

Get ready for some nostalgia! 

 

I don't really use my desktop at all anymore. Between always having a work laptop, my iPad and an Xbox One X, don't seem to have a need for it and it's just taking up room.  It has lasted me well but time to let it go.  Played many hours of games on here along with Photoshop and Premiere.  Just don't play PC games right now.  If i get into that again, figure I'll do a new build anyways. 

 

What do you suggest?

 

A. Sell it as a whole system

B. Piece part sell some of the items

C. Throw it or give it away

 

CASE: Cooler Master CM 690ii advanced

CPU: i7 920 (I know right, epic chip back in the day)

Motherboard: ASUS P6T

Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 670

Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower 750W

RAM:  OCZ 12GB of DDR3 (Remember those guys?) 

Storage: 2 x 1TB WD Blacks in RAID 0 + 1 x 1TB WD Black

Cooler: Noctua NH D14 (big boy bad***) 

BluRay Writer - yea remember when you needed one of those?

Yeah it seems like most of that is kind of in the grey area where it's too old to be much use right now, but not old enough to be vintage yet.

What you can get out of a system like that varies depending on area. In my area you wouldnt get $200 for it. Maybe you area is different.

 

Personally unless you need the money or cant store it i would keep it. Its always nice to have a spare pc for random projects
