Default ---> Good Hardware Deal? <----

Okay guys I got another potential hardware deal.

ALL BRAND NEW!!!

I can get a Pentium D 2.8GHz processor for $75 (New)
I can get a Abit IL9-Pro PCI express mobo for $75
And a 500 GB Sata 2 7200 RPM hard drive for $75

Maybe some cheap RAM too...


Are these good for gaming? Still need to buy Graphics card. I want to play games like COD4... company of heroes... AOE3

Did I mention their all new parts ?

Be careful when people start saying they will throw in stuff because it sounds like he wants to move the stuff out fast and if he is in need of money he would not throwing stuff in for free.

Am I missing something?
He said everything was new but yet he says the ram works great?

That's a tight little MoBo - I love mine. You can get an E2180 though on TigerDirect for $60+ shipping though. What Series of CPU? Pentium D's had 800's and 900's. If it's an 800, forget about it. The E2180 will out-perform the D's, so you may want ot look into it.

I, too, would be *very* suspicious of sellers when they want to 'toss in' extra product. Buyer beware...

Lol, they were going to open their own custom computer shop with their "friend" but they bailed on them and now there stuck with a ton of brand new hardware and no money.

Don't get the Pentium D either. It's pretty old, and inferior to the core 2's. I would just buy online. If you really want good deals, search slickdeals.net. That's where a bunch of us find stuff.

I would agree with Oregon - If you're going to spend 2-300 why not buy something new. I personally would get a Dell Vostro (small business line) desktop. They frequently have specials in the 400 range (easily back into the 250-300 range once you sell off the monitor). Granted.. you'll never overclock with that rig but the c2d will be much faster, and you get quiet a bit more for the money - and a warranty.
