Hi guys

My flatmate (FTA Beat) needs a new pc. Although he loves his 4 year old death trap, his student loan will soon arrive, bringing with it a greatly needed upgrade. His budget is £350 or less, and here's where i come in.

Although Dave simply wants to buy a full machine, i continually tell him that 2nd hand components will not only produce a better pc, but are cheaper too....and that's where you come in.

I'm looking for any reasonable recent, yet not totally crap hardware to build Beat his new dream pc for less than his budget. Working PSUs, mobos, ram, processors, gfx cards, hdds or cases - if you've got it kicking around spare, i'd like to know what you'd sell it for.

Beat needs a new pc. Children in Africa send HIM money to get a better computer. The processor famously has burn marks - the previous PSU only got changed when it exploded, the side panel only stays on because it's dented, It hasnt been formatted in over 4 years, and when i just took the case off to take the attached photos, there was an empty pack of ciggies inside.

Please give a pledge of your offers of hardware for sale to "Beat-Aid - 2005" below.

Many thanks

Baz

i have a shuttle sb75 with 3ghz p4 , 160 gig hd, slim line slot load dvd rewriter. digital tv card with remote graphics are a somewhat lowely fx5200, but it could be upgraded. all wrapped up in the extremely shiney chromed hoojum case.

possibly not really what you were looking for, but seeing as i am going to ebay it this weekend i thought i would give you the option.

i also still have the origional sb75 case for it too.

tbh its probably over the price considering you (i guess) would want to upgrade the graphics card atleast. im looking for £350 (was hopping to get more on ebay)

edit: also has legit win xp pro with it

Jerky i am overly tempted.

1 Please tell me you do PayPal
2. Is it possible to change the mobo at a later date, i'm interested in obviously putting a PCI express shuttle board in there.
3. If not is the back plate modular like the front plate? Hoojum cases are the best looking PC cases in the market in my opinion and this is exactly what i've been looking for.

If you take paypal i'll take it like... now
