Parting out midrange PC, plus freebies, as in beer (literally!)

As the title says, I'm finally parting out my computer. It's a great setup which really holds its own even today.

For info on free stuff see bottom...


Sale list:



Intel Pentium D 930 (dual core, 3Ghz, very overclockable!, includes stock cooler): $40




ASUS P5WD2-E Premium motherboard (975x chipset, Crossfire, simply a fantastic enthusiast board; includes 2 SATA cables and 2 IDE cables for CD-ROM and floppy): $75






eVGA 7600GT KO Superclocked (quite possibly the most bang for the buck I've ever seen in a graphics card. Will miss this most!): $40




2x1GB Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 RAM (rated 4-4-4-12 @ DDR2-800): $20/stick




2x160GB Western Digital Caviar WD1600YD hard drives (SATA, 7200RPM, 16MB cache, never had a problem): $25/per




Thermaltake 480W Purepower (includes PCI slot fan controller, very reliable, lots of cables!): $20






BenQ DW1650 DVD-RW drive (works great - missing the bezel on the drive tray as I had to remove it so it would work in the case, see picture; has LightScribe capability): $20




Last, but certainly not least, is the CASE!



Antec P160 Brushed Anodized Aluminium








-Fits Micro-ATX and standard ATX boards on easily accessible, removable tray
-14.3lb net weight
-10 drive bays: 4x5.25" and 2x3.5" in front, 4x5.25" inside
-Top two external drive bays have covers which hide the bezels of your optical drives, flaps open when tray extends
-2 temperature sensors, Firewire port, USB ports audio in/out, reset and power button easily accessible on top Closeup photo
-Stock 120mm rear fan included, but not installed.
-Drives use special rails for easy removal. I have enough rails for two optical drives and four hard drives. Closeup of hard drive rack It includes all but two of the PCI slot covers in the back.
-Three blue LEDs in front, in the air intake openings. There is also a removable dust filter and slot for a fan behind those openings.
-This is the version without the side window. It's begging to be modded. Seriously.

This case seems hard to find secondhand - there isn't even one on eBay! It was about $160 new so I'm going to ask $110 here. I'm cleaning it right now, there's a bit of dust inside. There is one small mark on the top which fortunately can't be seen if you look at the case from the front.

Prices don't include shipping. I'm willing to ship overseas if you're willing to pay the shipping costs. PM or reply here and I'll give you a quote.

I need to move these parts, I am open to reasonable offers. PM please.

As for the free stuff...

-If you come to pick any of these items up from me in St. Augustine, FL you get a free beer. Or any other alcoholic drink you wish. I do promo work for a local bar and have stacks of free drink tickets.
-I have sixty-five rolls of extra toilet paper in my dorm room. Upon request, I will send a roll with your item. (May affect shipping cost.)
-Oh yeah, if you pay the shipping you I got a 3.5" floppy drive or a Lite-On CD-ROM drive (both white) for you.
