Selling a comp

I talked to a buddy of mine, Sneaky. He said that PSU will just barely power it at stock, and it most likely wouldn't handle OC'ing too well..

The TP430.

A "buddy of yours"... You mean a buddy of mine, lol.
 
Well, my TP430 is powering my rig perfectly fine (in sig) <shrugs> With regard to buying things, I'd prefer to keep it at Monarch as it has no sales tax

My 2 cents are to change the ram to mushkin or g.skill

Also make sure you write up a contract and a legal agreement. You don't want to be responsible if their computer breaks, you want them to send the stuff to the manu. and not back to you.

I agree with you there Eguy. I love my g.skill.

I duno about the prices ur paying and the final product but I sorted a £600 pc for my mate:

3200+ AMD venice,

2X512MB kingston value,

Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 NF4,

Some cheapish black case with window which, actually looks really nice when lit up :),

PCI-e 6600gt 128MB,

Western Digital 120GB Hard Drive,

17" monitor

Nice logitech keyboard+ mouse

The 1 annoying thing is the fact that when anything goes wrong it comes STRAIGHT back to me. You will be the support guy no matter what, RMA's ns hit goes through you. Becomes very annoying!
 
Well, I'll have to talk it over with the person (go on YIM blast it!) so we'll see whether they're willing to accept the $40 adding...

Anyways, I think I've thought of a way to give the warranty and rebate responsibility to the person. It requires a certain amount of trust but doesn't really matter since they would be paying ahead of time, which requires trust in the first place. Lmk if you think it would work: What if I had THEM order it and then use a ship to address to ship it to me? That way they would be considered the buyer and have the receipt for warranty and rebate purposes. Think it would work?

Thanks

Edit: well, looks like I won't catch the rebates as the person is on vacation now... <sighs> hope there are some other good ones when I'm able to talk to her.
 
Well...? Any thoughts on that idea? What tends to be required to be sent in for an RMA? Do they need the entire retail package or just the part itself?

Yeah build it and keep the boxes

That way you're covered :)

Oh and get the money before you build it

I agree with that. My mates gfx card went odd and had to RMA it without the box. Luckily had some other box in which it fitted in well and Ebuyer doesnt mind if it is RMA'd as faulty. Some companies might be fussy about that....

If your mate is local, I'd show him the parts he needs and get him to buy order them to his property. That way he will have to pay £ up front and, if any of the pieces break he should be able to take them out and return them himself! No being bugged, sorting out the postage etc :nono:
 
Umm, that was basically one of my suggestions and I was waiting for comments you know (if you look at the 1st post of my series of three)? ;) In reality though, this isn't really someone I know. It's the guild leader for my GW guild. They live in Virginia, and I'm in California. Still think it would work?
 
It could do as long as you get the money first, buy the stuff and keep the boxes.

Make sure comms are promt and you describe all stuff in detail and bill accurately. Be professional about it and they'll respect you

You can even give them a guarantee on parts (if they all have warranties) but don't promise the earth
