Need some advice...

Post by bryanvan »

Sup guys,

I got an oppertunity the other day, which I think is pretty neat. But still costs me some money so... here I go.

I can buy a whole new desktop PC from some guy for about 450 euros. At the moment I don't have a desktop just a laptop for school en at home. The laptop is fine and can play crysis at high resolutions so no problems with this. But I thought maybe a desktop is fun/handy too.

The desktop is a:

-6GB DDR3 RAM memory
-1.5 TB HDD
-ATI RADEON HD4850 ( GDDR3 with cooling )
-AMD PHENOM II X 4 Quad core 2600 Mhz 910 processor

Also got a:

-ACER P221W 22" monitor
-Logitech 5.1 surround sound set with subwoofer
-Logitech headset with mic
-logitech g5 gaming mouse
-logitech g15 gaming keyboard with LED light and USB ports


This all for just 450 euro, only problem is I have to drive 160km to get it because the dude lives in belgium and I live in Holland :P

It's just that I dont know if I should either spend 450 euro and sell my xbox360 cuz I also just bought a PS3, and buy the pc, or just save my money and buy nothing with it.
I don't even know if I will even play/be that much on that PC, it will probaly be used to download alot and store stuff. Also to game on it. But I do not have that much time on my hands lately so :S

If you are into computer gaming or want to get into it, that's not a bad deal.

Well as I said I have a laptop that I bought for school which can also play crysis on high so. Only difference is that the desktop is on a table and the laptop on my lap.

In that case it's all about if you have the money to spend, you wanna take a trip, and if you want a bigger screen with some extra room to store stuff. Also having two computer is really nice. If I F up my desktop doing something stupid, I can always sit down with my laptop in front of it as I cry trying to figure out how to get it to work again. :wink:

It's 450 euros.

-1.5 TB HDD
-ATI RADEON HD4850 ( GDDR3 with cooling )
-AMD PHENOM II X 4 Quad core 2600 Mhz 910 processor

-Logitech 5.1 surround sound set with subwoofer
-Logitech headset with mic
-logitech g5 gaming mouse
-logitech g15 gaming keyboard with LED light and USB ports


Just a POS computer with these accessories goes for more than 450. If it's running a Quad and an HD4850 the Mobo and powersupply can't be too horrible at that. Other stuff isn't really a big deal.

What has that to do with it? That won't give him more money. I don't believe you can get all that stuff for 450 euro, then again I have no idea about computer parts but it sounds way too cheap. It's probably broken or something lol

Decided not to buy it since I already have a laptop that can do all that the desktop can do, and I got a PS3 and a XBOX360...

So I'll be saving 450 euro and a 320km trip.

I would of bought that in a second, honestly. If you know the guy personally than I'm sure it would be trust worthy, maybe he needs some quick cash and wanted to sell a spare PC he had? The validity I won't judge.

But really, the distance isn't far. 160 km's is about 2 hrs of driving, although probably 3 if your not going via a highway. You could of made a day of it! Take some mates out, get drunk over night, crash in a park and pick up your computer in the morning then drive home. That's what I would have done -nods-

Big ass fanatic if that's a 'spare' pc. Besides if something sound too good to be true it's usually fake so he made the right choice.
