I've been warring with technology over the past year or so. My desktop died then my laptop, got a new laptop and this one seems to have some issue with Photoshop.

I was looking at some basic diy tower bundles on newegg but I though that I should check here first.

Any of you guys looking to part ways with an old tower soon? Probably around the price range of $2000?
I know at that price I won't be able to get much but it'll be better than what I have now.

Not at this very moment but probably closer to the end of the month when I get paid.

This was much easier than expected. Thanks for all the quick replies everyone. Hard OC kinda sent an offer I can't refuse.

Hard O/C....in the spirit of the forum.....if someone makes a public request for a sale or trade, respond publicly like the other members.

PM is fine for trading phone numbers, pick up location and other such sensitive data.

The actual items to be traded and price should be stated openly.

Have a few options:

If u have a sata hdd working i can offer this:

AMD FX 4100 3.4ghz quad core cpu
MSI 760GM-P23 (fx) board (new 1 yr warranty)
2 x 2GB Corsair XMS 3 DHX 1600Mhz DDr3 ram
Mid atx case with 500w psu -- new
Sony Optiarc 16x dvdrw drive black (newish)

$1200

If u don't have a working hard drive, i have 2 160gb ide hard drives around but that will require a different board which will add $250 to the above total ($1450)

Or if u don't want ide hard drives, i can prob source a 1tb sata2 hdd for abt $400 which will bring the total of the above system to $1600 flat.

If u want more cpu power + a sata hdd this will be the configuration:

AMD Phenom II x6 1100T 3.3ghz ssocket am3 cpu (6 core)
MSI 760GM-P23 (fx) board (new 1 yr warranty) - DVi and vga video outputs
2 x 2GB Corsair XMS 3 DHX 1600Mhz DDr3 ram
Mid atx case with 500w psu -- new
Sony Optiarc 16x dvdrw drive black (newish)
Seagate 1TB SATA2 hard drive

$1800

Thas it so far.

Since u wanna purchase end of the mth if i see anything else to build a cheaper system i'll make up a configuration and message you.

This was my offer.

seriously NGW this makes no sense the man made a request for parts no matter how it was fulfilled ... It doesn't matter pm or not....you can't demand somebody to respond in a post .... Wtf because the info would be for the OP not the responders ...... Not cool

Wrong Preston.....there are rules that govern the trading grounds, which are in place to ensure our members are not swindled or hoodwinked and are treated fairly.

That requires a certain amount of transparency.

Trust that you understand now.

I eh go lie, this response real funny.

Anyhow u should probably amend the TG rules to reflect this incident.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #13 on:** March 05, 2013, 07:44:23 PM »

Hmmm...

I'm all for 'transparency', but I actually don't see a problem responding to the OP via PM.

...and it would be foolhardy to pass up Hard O/C's hexa-core system at that price. Gad-DAMN.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #14 on:** March 05, 2013, 07:57:15 PM »

The problem lies in that only admins can see the contents of PMs sent to other members.

So the rest of posters would have no clue what was the counter offer that surpassed theirs.

Note, everyone else posted their responses publicly EXCEPT Hard O/C

Thankfully he rectified that and the issue is now moot.

Carry on smartly.

Yup this was mostly the point of the PM

Well now that everyone sees the content of said PM, clearly i tried to swindle/hoodwink the boy

Thankfully he rectified that and the issue is now moot.
Nope, NOW the issue is moot

Carry on smartly.

Seriously now, end of discussion.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #16 on:** March 05, 2013, 08:59:51 PM »

You're not accused of trying to swindle/hoodwink.....transparency just ensures it.

Do not feel offended (I gather that from the tone of your response)

This applies across the board, not singling you out.

It is very obvious when something is posted for sale. Transparency and the "dibs" process is usually followed....as good forum etiquette dictates.

However the rules get a little vague when someone makes a request.

Hope all is clear.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #17 on:** March 06, 2013, 12:26:18 AM »

Simply state that the offer is exclusive to him. That's fine.

I don't expect people to have any issue with you underselling them....this is a trading grounds. It is not a commercial space.

If you were running a business and selling equipment through here under the guise of membership trade, well that would be different. We have policies in place to deal with commercial entities in a different manner by way of advertising threads that cost $$.

This issue is not "out of hand" at all. It is very simple and politely being discussed. The very purpose of the forum is to foster discussion. So don't rush to end the conversation for the sake of it.

We may have highlighted an issue that others will now be able to avoid. A lot of good may come of this.

Absolutely no offense is intended. None whatsoever.
