Custom HTPC/Gaming machine

I'm posting this to see if there is any interest in this machine as a whole. I'm looking to sell it all rather then part it out. If I don't have any local interest or here then I will part the machine out. Need to fund my Squeezebox and Universal player purchase.

This is a beautiful piece to put in a rack for all entertainment purposes. We've only watched maybe 10 movies on this HTPC. It is fast, smooth and clean. Like audio for some, computers are a hobby of mine and what started off as a HTPC/media streamer and Blu-Ray/DVD player with expansion to be a PVR. I had plans for this to be a large media server that will do everything else include PVR capabilities but I never went though with the capture card and therefore left it as is.

This machine is immaculate. Assembled in March of last year, it was packed away for a month shortly after since we moved. It's been cleaned three times and will get it's fourth tomorrow. Below is a list of everything inside the machine minus the sound card. I originally had a Auzentech Bravura card that I have removed. If there is interest and someone want's it installed, we can work that out. I also have a Logitech diNovo Mini wireless keyboard that is paired with this that I could also include or sell separately. Great having the nice sleek look and power to play Battlefield 2 every now and again. Front USB and firewire make connection things nice and convenient.


Case: Silverstone Lascala LC13B-E
Motherboard: Asus P7H55-M Pro
CPU: i3-550 @ 3.2Ghz Stock
Cooler: Scythe Shuriken Rev. B Low Profile - Replaced 90mm OEM fan with 120mm modded to CPU cooler
PSU: CoolerMaster Elite 600w
RAM: Mushkin Silverline 2x2GB(4GB) DDR3-1333 9-9-9-24
Video card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Toxic Edition 1GB DDR5
HDD: Intel X-25M G2 80GB SSD
BD-ROM: Asus BC-08B1LT 8x
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit


I have all the software, extra parts for the case and original boxes. The machine will be formatted and I will include the Windows software for you to install unless requested to have it already installed.

This is my first sale here. I've purchased things from various users here (Hopefully they can chime in).Machine will be packed in the OEM box and well packed inside that to take a trip.

Looking for $600. That's a polkie price as I have it listed for $700 locally.

    Thanks.

    I'm selling it because it doesn't get used to it's advantage. I use it to stream music currently. I want to incorporate a universal player and Squeezebox into my rig. It can pass for a home PC because of how extreme the build went.

    To follow up, this transaction could not have gone any better!

    Andre is a great seller. He was very communicative throughout the whole process, and even provided pictures of the item and packaging before it shipped to be sure I was happy with it. Do not hesitate to buy from him--he takes excellent care of his stuff and will likewise take excellent care of the seller.

    Sorry Polkies, you missed out on a great PC! :wink:
