Dang, $320 for all that? Mind you, Kepler architecture wasn't exactly the best, but all this at that price is just amazing. In my area, systems like that go for ~500.

 

That is a beautiful system though, did you have to talk the seller down at all?

He said he originally posted it for $650, and got a bite for $525 but didn't take it. He said he eventually came down on the price. Not sure why he had it listed so low this time around. Was listed for $350, I asked for $300, and we settled on $320.

Haha all of those prices seem way to expensive for a system like that, did he happen to take in current value of the components in the build?

I kinda told him about how newer stuff is about the same price, but the new stuff just performs better.

 

By far the weakest part of it was the GPU, which is why he was probably having problems selling it, but I see the systems potential, and upgrade potential.

Oh, btw it has a Noctua Cooler, and a few more Noctua fans inside it too.

Oh not bad. I really don't like how underrated older hardware is these days, but if you can find a 780 or a higher-end 900 series card, you should be all good to go.

I like to stick with 4th gen or higher personally when finding older hardware.

 

My personal rig is better than this one, I actually bought this for a friend of mine. They said "Can you find me a computer?". I asked em how much for their budget and they told me $300... I told em it would take a while but I'd find something... Was expecting to get an old business computer i3, 500gb hdd, and crap PSU for around $200. Then hope to throw in a simple 1050 or 1050ti, maybe if I was lucky find something a bit better on Craigslist for $100... but I think settling for this wasn't too bad.

Oh not bad at all. Looking around for used hardware is pretty fun, I've been poking around for specifically older hardware for my WinXP system. Sadly no PCIe x16 Gen 1 cards, but I do have a friend that can give me their old GT 620 and some spare memory for free so that's fun.

It's also suprising since it's an ITX SFF build.  The RVZ01 is not a some $40 case and it has an SFX power supply.  If you factor in the value of the SFF cooling system it must also have as well, it all is a pretty great deal.
