404 cool case not found

anyways, no real pics of machine...questionable. this is more than likely a computer that is not built yet, but when you pay for it he goes and grabs the parts and puts it all together wholesale for very cheap. could you do it yourself cheaper? I dunno what that currency is or what it's value is in USD.

id ask him what the ratings on the psu are, then decide wether to buy one seperaetly

looks really nice, just be careful, since he doesnt have that many ratings and is only 96%. And make sure you get insurance!

And as 4w4k3 said, most likely he is using your money to buy the computer parts, build it, and ship it to you. Since it says "please allow 14 days for delivery"

It also doesnt say if there is an OS installed.. check that out.

Also note, he has only sold 3 items, and purchased the rest... VERY NEW SELLER!

it could be a scam.

Very hard to get away with scams on eBay, if you pay with payPal, they have protection up to $1000, so you can get that much back form them. After selling 2 computers on eBay and have had very bda shipping experiences, i wouldnt recommend buying a desktop on eBay, espeically from a very new seller.

i think selling computers should be more of a personal thing, so the buyer could see it running before handing the cash over.
