hes asking $1500 for it and hes also sent me these pictures

[TheNinjaNextDor]

I wouldn't pay close to that. That's worth $750 used, at least to me.

No, the GPU has 1 power connector.

It's not worth it at all.

[Askew]

Does it include the monitors?

 

Also, what the hell I've never seen someone with triple monitors that were all different sizes!

 

It's not worth anywhere near that for just the PC itself, I'd be hard pushed to give him half.

[Zohan2000]

oh yer forgot to add this, only the centre monitor will come with the PC

[Lord Pantaloons]

lol not even close to $1500, I wouldn't even buy that but I suggest you pay no more than $500 for it.

[iNothing]

Hell no, with 1500 you could build something better than that

Tell him to take his deal and have it compacted into a small metal cylinder, so that it may be inserted into his ass for trying to rip you off.

Make one for yourself. I'm not familiar with Australian prices, but building a computer is pretty easy and a lot of fun. DO IT

do have my own PC, just wanting another PC as a backup/use for future use for something im not sure yet

[daemonowner]

Have to agree. Not worth it. You can do so much more by making one yourself. Or at least choosing all the parts yourself and spending $50 or so on someone making it for you.

Not for a penny over $600. Especially since it is used. Tell him to go shove a pitchfork in unsavory places for trying to rip you off.

[Gamerxp00]

That cable management though..

[ttam]

Wouldn't pay more than $400 tbh.

[acidydragon]

$500ish?

It's out dated, and has weird parts (like the 1000w PSU...)

[ericlee30]

I wouldn't pay close to that. That's worth $750 used, at least to me.

When I seen the pics, I was thinking around the same price as you lol.

cheers for the help guys, know ill always find great help from the community here, gonna stay away from this build and wait till another one comes up or save my money till i can build a small form factor PC for whatever reason haha

@Zohan2000, I'm sorry to say it but that Custom PC is not worth AU$1,500. I know that I could build a much better PC than that for that much. I think he's trying to rip you off or is deluded into thinking that his PC is worth that much. I personally would save your cash and build a better rig yourself. However, if you are really wanting to purchase it I would tell him that you're a member of a 75,000 member community tech forum and that you've been advised that his build is not worth said amount and is in fact worth only $500 - $600 and that you would be willing to give him $650 - $700 for it.

 

It's great that you were wise enough to ask a tech forum, such as LTT, before deciding to make the purchase because you just saved yourself from getting ripped off by at least $1,000. Smart thinking mate!

 

EDIT: Fixed incorrect grammar.
