sandmanfvrga Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Ok, specs: Athlon XP 3000+ 400 MHZ Front Side Bus 1 gig DDR 400 Ram (2) 60 Gig Hard Drives Floppy Drive 6 USB 2.0 Ports Saphire X1600 256 meg AGP Pro Card MSI Nforce 2 Motherboard Onboard 10/100 LAN Integrated AC97 Audio (don't use it) Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Sound Card Soundblaster Audigy 2 Sound Card (Use Turtle Beach and then disable Audigy 2 to just have the Firewire port on it) 56k Modem 32/12/40 CD-RW Drive DVD +- RW 4x Optorite DVD Burner Hitachi SuperScan Pro 800 20 Inch CRT (beutiful when it was running OSX86 and games look great) Great pc, I built it myself. Can play new games at full force. With some more ram, could make the games even faster. I am really looking to trade for a Mac. I would love an iMac, but don't know if the machine is worth one. The CD-RW drive door sticks sometimes. I don't know why, maybe heavy use. The drive was $20 off pricewatch and easily replaceable. Good drive other than that. Just letting everybody know and not hiding anything. The machine is NOT a hackintosh pc and will NOT run OSX86! So please note that. If this isn't worth it, somebody let me know. Thanks.

sandmanfvrga Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Sorry no. I just put a new video card in there and that is 20 inch crt, good for gaming. Oh well, I guess no go on it. It is worth aroun $600 or $700 with all that. Oh well. OFFER TAKEN DOWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Ok, I am f***ing fed up with my PC. The PC is fine hardware wise, God Windows is horrible. Laps of sanity on my part, had no anti virus app or firewall and Windows to get Windows up and running with some games and {censored}, Windows goes down the f***ing drain. COME ON!!! Somebody must want to trade or something. Offer is UP AGAIN. Please reply and no to the guy above, $300 is to little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 If I took an offer without the monitor, would you have it any cheaper? But how did you run OSX86 on an Athlon XP when they only have SSE1? Do you mean SSE2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bptba93 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Trade ya for a Beige G3 333 mhz 14 gb hdd space tiger and 288 mb ram...=p just kiddin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Without monitor, of course cheaper. Please read the bold print in the first post: doesn't run OSX86 since it has only SSE1. Taylor, I got me a Blue and White G3 400 mhz, ok but way to under powered. Thanks anyway.

bptba93 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 i found a really really good buy on e-bay for a powermac g4 i was going to buy it but changed my mind...http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280028841751#ebayphotohosting to me it was a good buy because everything else more expensive was slower and not as well equipped. But now the auction has closed becuz someone got to it.... =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 That was a great deal. I paid $150 for my g3 400mhz. I might keep my winblows box (have to f'ing reformat and put anti virus and firewall on like I know to do at first) and get an iBook. I just need to have normal surfing, chatting, wireless, superdrive would be nice, photos, audio (take from audio recorder and analyze, and capture video.

bptba93 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 i know i was gonna buy it but i got some cool speakers instead. oh beat this i paid $7 for my biege g3..it came at 300 mhz and 128 mb ram and 8 gb hdd and a screen i think it's a apple multiple scan 720? i don't know...the guy didn't care he didn't want it anymore. He got it from his grandma which works at a school as a libraraian and was pratically giving these things away for $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Nice. Anybody going to offer anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosx Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I doubt you're going to get more than $300. I just built a Pentium 4 D 2.66, 1GB Ram, 18X DVDRW, Sapphire X1600Pro, and a 160GB hard drive for $450. Add another $150 for a 19" LCD and you're right at $600, brand new and it runs OSX. Problem with computers is they get old fast and then they aren't worth anything. If you're looking for a mac though you can get a Dual 1GHZ G4 on eBay for $600-$800 without a monitor. mOSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 mosx is right sandmanfvrga. I don't think you will get more than $400 - $450 for that computer. It might run XP pretty good, but at the end of the day, the components are getting outdated more and more every single day. I would say the Graphics Card and the 20" CRT Monitor are your main selling points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquanutz Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Yeah, for such an old machine you'd be lucky to get 200 out of the entire thing. your best bet is to part it out. i know that sucks because it is hard to sell the whole thing, but you'll get more money than just selling the entire thing.

RichardFanning Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I second that! You will have better luck parting out than selling the system. Otherwise the system is worth $350 shipped max. Nobody wants CRTs anymore, I just had to basically give away my 19" Viewsonic E90fb (very nice) . Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 I will just keep it. No need trashing it. It games fine. I guess just get me an old iBook or Mac Mini for everything else. EDIT: I would trade it for a Mac Mini Core Duo though. It is a good trade with the X1600. I dout that will happen. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
