CL never gets me anywhere with computer parts, even if I cut myself half way. People think their **** is worth more than it is and your stuff isn't worth squat.
You're right on Ebay. I never sell PC parts or PCs on there.
PPM,
I never sell components on CL either. But there is a very real market for mid range [$400-$600} gaming rigs. I also have a friend in Austin, TX near the University and he is doing well selling the mid range gaming rigs. Believe it or not, he told me he is doing well with the AMD APU rigs...I thought that was strange.
Normally, I only use the AMD 945, 955, 965, 1035, 1045, or 1055. Rigs with these CPU's have been incredibly good sellers for me. Some times they are gone instantly...at other times, just need to be patient until the right gamer sees the deal, then it goes quickly again.
To be 100% honest with you, at first it was fun. I liked building computers very, very much.
Now, it is no longer so much fun, and I want to move on. The good news is I became very proficient at building computers!
Thanks again for all the help you have given me over the years PPM.
I may not agree with you all the time, but I do appreciate you a lot....
Ok, one more question for you...
I told you I put that Intel 2500k with the EVGA MB together...and it works fine.
I left the AMD FX 8350 in the box along with the Gigabyte 990XFA-UD3.
So help me out here....
Which is better considering my needs for that specific computer:
1. Several security cams running 24/7
2. No gaming
3. Occasional movies with Bluray
4. Emergency back up should my Intel 3570 [primary rig] go down
5. Video editing [I work in the area of kinesiology [human kinetics] and from time to time, I need to shoot videos, edit them, and use them for training purposes for athletes.
So what is it, the Intel or the AMD, or will you say build a low end rig that sips the energy?
Soar
