Gigabyte Case, Gigabyte GA-p55a-ud3 motherboard compatible with i3, i5, and i7 intel chips. Geforce 7900GS video card. 300gb 7200rpm Maxtor HDD with fresh installation of windows 7 and office. Brand new 600-watt power supply. Samsung DVD burner. Receipts / documentation for just about everything in a nice organized binder.

Throw the memory and processor ( cpu ) in and you're got a fantastic computer. Sold as a package, cash, no trades.

Asking $150 (which I think is a steal). Also on craigslist.

Disc's or it's just "conveniently" installed?

My intent was to build two identical hackintosh computers and sell one to help pay for the one I kept, but only finished building one. I don't have the finances to finish it at the moment, and I can't justify purchasing more parts, just to try to sell the parts I have (get further in the hole). I've had it on craigs for a while, and I keep dropping the price waiting for someone to pick it up.

The motherboard has already been setup for the OEM installation of Windows 7, which is installed on the HDD.

It's now where I'm far from breaking even, but I need to recoup some of this. If you're interested, PM me ASAP.

I don't have a picture of the case, or know the model number off hand. It's nothing special, but it's black and says gigabyte on it. Light and thin, which might be good or bad depending on what you want it for. It's fits the full atx board, but with little room to spare.

I have the box and materials from the board, who's manufacturing date is less than 2 years ago, and gigabyte motherboards come with a 3-year warranty.

If you care to know, I built a very solid hackintosh out of the twin board I ordered.

how much would it cost to finish the hackintosh? I need to look into iToy development, but I refuse to purchase apple products (unless they're super used and super cheap.)

The 7900GS isn't a fully supported hackintosh card, so your pick of a graphics card that isn't this one plus: the processor (i3, i5, or i7) of which the cheapest I can find is $115, and memory which is cheap ($40).

If windows will hold you for now, the 7900gs works really well.

Just to elaborate on how good a deal this is, the cheapest I can find the 650w power supply for (which is BRAND new) is $50 bucks by itself, after rebate and savings.

I have a PM from someone who's interested in buying if I help them order the other parts to build a computer. I'd rather not, but they are willing to pay $150 for these parts. This is perfect for the person who wants to pick their own processor.

If someone can pay $150 for these parts (sans my help to put it together), nows the time to speak up. This is a very, very reasonable price, you will not find this anywhere else. I will plug the HDD into my own computer to verify the installation if need be.

^ look it's $150...those two licenses along would cost at least twice that amount. you're buying the hardware, not the software.

yeah, i think the OP is saying that windows 7 and office are installed, but you will need to provide your own valid product key

Indeed, buying hardware not software. If you must know, the bios has the OEM slic. Which means that the installation validates. It's only on there for convenience sake, you are encourage to find your own copy of Windows if you desire it. There is no sticker, there is no key. It's Win 7, 64 bit.

Exactly what and how I installed on my machine (which is dual boot), and it works like a charm.

Haven't heard back from potential buyer. Anyone else? I'm available b/w 5&7 tonight, or again after 10pm.

@NCSUHOBBIT: Case looks like this, black and grey, some nice LEDs (which you can leave unplugged if you don't like them), and front USB: http://larsoncustompc.com/images/cases/mid-tower/Gigabyte-GZPH1A30-ATX-Mid-Tower-Case---ATXMicro-ATX,-USB,-No-PSU,-Black1.jpg
