I have an eight month-old desktop PC here, which is now surplus to requirements. I hand-selected the components and case myself, before having them assembled and tested by PC World. It cost me close to £700 to complete and the machine is in as-new condition.
The unit itself is a black powder-coated steel affair with a moulded black front panel. The Samsung Writemaster DVD RW also has a black facia, so the whole unit is very discreet and unassuming. The machine has 8 USB ports (all USB 2.0) - two at the front and six at the rear, as well as a Firewire port at the rear.
Here's the rest of the spec:
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ processor (Socket 939 version);
2GB of DDR RAM (2x 1GB) with room for two more;
200GB, 7200rpm Hard Disk (which will be formatted and will need an OS installing);
Ati Radeon Sapphire graphics card (7000 series);
Abit AV8 motherboard with desktop panel for adjusting BIOS etc via Windows;
On-board sound;
Belkin Wireless / Network PCi card;
4 fan cooling system (1 large induction....3 exhaust);
3 spare 3.5" drive bays on front panel
400w PSU
The machine is significantly faster than my previous Pentium 4 (2.4GHz) PC and it's been 100% reliable and stable. It can handle 100s of RAW files in Photoshop ACR without freezing or stalling and it does everything impressively quickly. Basically my work now involves a huge amount of multi-tasking and this means multiple programs running with large files simultaneously, which demands a dual-core set up, hence the need to sell this one. For most people however, it's got all the performance (and some) you'd ever need.
Okay, I think that covers it. If anyone is interested they can email me via the site and I will respond asap. Price-wise I'm looking in the region of £300, but I'm always happy to discuss sensible offers... :rolleyes:
