As per an ebay post (scam computer) for $6100 you can get the amazing computer of 

 

- i7 920

- 2 gb DDR3 RAM

- 250W PSU   ....................................................................>.> I didnt know they came this small

- "so called" Ultra Powerfull ATI RAGEIIc 3D GPU     .........I think this was one of the first gpus ati ever brought to market, not to mention its a pci gpu

- 36gb Harddrive

- Custom Liquid cooling......................................................Custom as in dumping Koolaid over your PC?

- Custom PC case 

- Windows ME..................... ...............................................(Barfs)

- Modem Card.....................................................................(Huh?)

 

Its these kind of ebay sellers than make me want to reach through my screen and knock them upside the head, as they are just blatent attempts at scamming for anyone with the slightest clue about pc hardware, not to mention most of the hardware dosent work together, or is so antiquated there would be no functionality.

But it is great for gaming since its GPU is ultra powerful and it has an I7 oh and it consumes so little power too!

$175 for one of those crappy 2002 OptiPlexes, probably Socket 478 GX260's w/  printer/serial/vga/ps2 ports, CD-ROM and floppy. They also threw in the crappy cheap-o optiplex monitor and printer, probably also from 2002.

Gumtree.com.au

Aussie version of Craigslist

 

So many P4 2.4-2.8's for $300 and such.. Garbage I wouldnt even build for anyone.....

Why do people keep calling it the Australian craigslist? 

Craigslist has sub-sections for every capital city in Australia already.

May as well just call it 'generic site where people sell shit for too much'

Because Aussies DO NOT use craigslist by default, they use Gumtree.

Thats why Aussies call gumtree the craigslist alternative, because most people find gumtree first.

 

We both could go and ask "Whats the cheapest way to advertise/sell something online, alternative to ebay?"

Gumtree is the Aussie's answer.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
