I still have all the original boxes. Built it for a VM test. Ended up testing win8 on it.

 

Are you going to possibly part it out? cause if so I may be interested in the ram if its at least 1600mhz.

 

No, it's not an old Subaru. I'm not parting it out.

 

alright figured I would ask. If I had the extra cash i would jump on it. GLWS

 

Just an FYI. If you want a screaming fast desktop PC, buy this without the hard drive. Pick up a solid state drive. You won't regret it. This thing benchmarks almost as fast as my 2nd gen i7 with similar specs. It would outperform the i7 with an SSD.

 

you know what, do you have a link to the case? I might know someone that may be looking for a good HTPC build(along with some gaming unfortunately only 1 pci-e slot). and it out performs a sandy bridge i7?

Not necessarily out-performs the i7. I'm saying that with an SSD, Windows test would probably show a better score than the i7 with RAID that I have.

 

ok thanks! that case wouldn't work for what I was looking to do, need to be able to fit a good sized gpu.

 

I dont really know much about computers but would this machine run Diablo 3? If so, I have a friend that would be VERY interested.

 

get something super beefy for d3

 

Oh yes on everything except the onboard video. It would be considered low performance. You can get a different card (assuming low profile). I'm sure it would be fine.

 

Yeah. The only problem is I know nothing about computers. The one thing I do know is to NEVER buy a computer from Best Buy ever again,

 

Awesome. I will print this off and show him the specs and let you know hopefully by tonight if he wants it. Thanks man.

 

ahhhh I'm sorry man. He says now is not the time. He has a kid on the way and is saving money heh. I tried

 

Not going to lie. I'm tempted to pick this up for an esxi server. Or tempted to take the place of the htpc.

 

Pending sale

 

Went with Intel MB just so I knew it would be compatible with ESXi.

 

Sold

 

Buyer said 'that's a lot of bang for the buck'.... yup. Thanks aagain!

 

wth? it's sold...damnit
oh well

 

Oh well, everyone had a shot at it.

 

Kinda mis-leading...the cpu might be ivy bridge, but the listed motherboard is the old sandy bridge chipset.

You could build the same thing brand new for about the same price....

 

That's new to me. This is what they put in the cart for me at Microcenter. And no, you can't build it for that price. I just checked, $428 after tax.
