    Custom built PC

    I've recently built a new PC and I'd like to see if there is any interest in purchasing my old one. I'm at work now so no pics, but I'll take some tonight if there's any interest. All parts were purchased from Microcenter. Included is:

    Antec 900 computer case
    Thermaltake 750w power supply
    2x EVGA 8800 GT video cards with SLI bridge
    EVGA 780i SLI motherboard
    Q6600 quad core processor (stable overclocked at 3.4Ghz, can be pushed higher)
    WD Raptor 10000RPM 128GB hard drive
    DVD drive
    4GB RAM

    Not included: monitor, keyboard, mouse, operating system.

    The system has been kept in good shape, though it's a bit dusty inside still and I never did get around to having good cable management. It's a bit over 3 years old and can handle most games but will likely struggle with newer ones. FFXI, WoW, FF14 all ran well on it.

    PM me with questions or to make an offer.

    I would part with the graphics cards and Raptor if no one was interested in buying the whole thing

    You have the 6600 at 3.4 geez. I never felt comfortable going over 3, that was already a 25% OC. I've read about people doing 3.6 and getting it stable, but shit. I'm surprised the chip can hold up for long being pushed that far.

    I have an aftermarket cooler on there, it never really got that hot even during gaming. These chips are almost meant to be overclocked given how much leeway Intel provides in terms of tolerable voltages and temperatures.
