Sell my main pc and build an Mitx one?

Hey guys, so I've been thinking about this alot lately...I have my own custom built PC, with a custom loop, and it's all pretty much fine but one thing...I move it every damn week, because I have separated parents and it ways a ton, not even god damn joking...700mm+ of rads, a 750d and...yeah...So i was thinking of selling it on the swedish equivalent of ebay, and then building a mitx pc. The money I think I am able to get will be able to let me build a pretty damn good Mitx pc, with a 780 and a 4670k. What do you guys think?

Be very careful to find decent buyer, If you cant find a decent buyer, check out Sweclockers market and maybe sell the PC in parts to different buyers.

Haha I feel you man. I'm 14 and have seperated parents. And no Arm Strength whatsoever. It kind of irritates me having to move it. But now I am deciding to build a second rig that isn't as powerful. Because I'm only at my dads for 2 days a week every week. I would say if you had a situation like that to build another rig. Otherwise if you can get a good amount of money for your Custom PC then go ahead and sell it. If you could sell it local to somebody you could probably get more money for it because most people looking for parts know how to build them and don't see any value in it being built already. But  people that buy Computers that are overpriced at walmart would probably buy it for more than the parts are worth. Either way if you get a good amount back go ahead I say.

If there's no reason you need a 750D and water cooling, go for it. 

 

You might also want to consider parting out the PC and reusing some of your old builds parts instead. That will probably be more efficient. 

I also attend to alot of lan parties, so it makes my life a living hell to move a 2 ton pc all the time...@Thecrazyswede, is sweclockers any good for selling your stuff? Do you think that I might be able to sell my watercooling components there for a decent amount?

i would then recommend a case like the prodigy or the prodigy M because it has handles and that would make it easier to move it

in my opinion the 250D looks better than the prodigy but the prodigy would be easier to move at least i would think so

Yeah, but I mean, the 250d is smaller, better planned out and overall looks better. It cant be hard to move around, if I'm moving around a fucking 750d weighing 2 tons

yeah and it you could still water cool with H100i or something like that nothing like your custom loop but still it is walking but i would defiantly go for the 250D rather than the prodigy but i was just recommending the prodigy because i thought it would be easier to move

Yeah, I get the point though. The thing is, can I remove the 5 1/4 bay in the front in the chassi? I remember in Linus review of the 250d, it was a real tight squeeze to fit that h100i.

I do not trust blocket really as its full of scammers and people who dont know anything about the things they are buying.

I can take the 360 XT45 off your hands if you want to sell it.

i do not think you can but i am not that familiar with that many ITX cases and i do not know if you can or not you would have to ask someone else about that

Hmm, very intresting offer. We should stay in contact, if I do decide to sell it. I'm pretty sure I am though, but like piece by piece, not the whole pc. What are you willing to pay for it?

well around 699 SEK MRSP, how is the condition off it ?, if its in good shape i can offer 400-450 SEK plus shipping.

 

I can recommend the Fractal node 304 if you are looking for small form factor mITX case.

Could you not keep most parts except from the case/mobo?

 

Will you not just end up with a smaller PC that weighs almost as much as your current PC?
