Craigslist buy; what to purpose it as?

[LargestGnome]

Well within' the last week I have been messing around on hackforums and I saw this ad on craigslist so I snagged it for $500.

So I had intended to run as many VMs on it as I could and attempt to crack them. I've been reading on becoming a PenTester this week- so beyond that, ideas for the extra rig? ^___^

 

 

• Case /// BitFenix Ronin
• Motherboard /// MSI 970 Gaming
• GPU - MSI Twin Frozer 290x
• CPU - AMD 6300 6 Core
• CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i
• Power Supply - Thermaltake 850W
• Ram - G Skill 16GB 1866MHZ
• SSD - PNY 128GB
• HDD - Seagate 2TB 7200RPM
• Mouse - SteelSeries Rival 300
• Keyboard - Corsair K65
• Monitor - ASUS VG248QE

 

I will be trying the keyboard to replace this Razer BlackWidow.. also the mouse just felt A LOT better than my

Swap the coolers between your daily driver and that rig so you get a H100i

It's the same RAM I got too, but, what's 32gb for anyway? Unless I start doing some heavy BruteForcing I will keep it in there :-P

taking that SSD too. :-)

 

also came with a copy of Windows 8.1

M8, you got this for $500? The only thing on my local craigslist is a 670 for like $150

I bought it out of impulse - I didn't need it.. or really know what to do with it.

 

Seemed like a calling though; had to do it   :lol:

 

 

I am a craigslist warrior, you know; I got my 55' LG on CL for $250.

 

I do NOT have any room to set this up; I mean the sqaure footage is there, not desk space.. I'll be ordering up some of them IKEA desk shortly to accommodate my growing Super computer ;-)

 

I live in Montana; tech buys are rare to come by, and if they are; they are in Wyoming or North Dakota!

I went right over with my eyes still dilated from the Eye Doc.

:lol:

Good for testing if something is dead

you can also CF the video cards with the TT PSU (but I recommend getting something more reliable)
