Okay, hope this is okay in here as not strictly speaking buyer's advice.
Rather, my old system has been sitting for a couple years and wondering if it's worth selling off the parts or selling the entire thing to a friend.
Really not plugged into PC gaming world anymore so have no idea how much any of this is worth. Maybe next to nothing.
LOGITECH Z623 SPEAKER SYSTEM
INTEL I5-3570K 3.40GHZ S1155 RETAIL
CHAOS CUSTOM MSI Z77 MPOWER MOTHERBOARD
ASUS XONAR 7.1 DX/XD/A PCI-E SOUND CARD
GIGABYTE OSMIUM GAMING KEYBOARD
ASUS 24X DVD WRITER BLACK
CORSAIR VS 650 PSU
SAPHIRE HD 7970
VERTEX 4 256 GB SSD
COOLERMASTER CM STORM TROOPER CASE
As for the reason it hasn't been used in 2 years...
My PSU died - at least I thought it did. So I bought another PSU.
It didn't work either, so I called a repair place and the guy came around and said the MOBO was dead. He thought they might be able to repair it. So he left with it and the CPU and RAM attached.
I couldn't hold off on work - was working 7 days a week non stop - so I got a laptop in the meantime.
Eventually they told me the MOBO was indeed dead and suggested a replacement. It seemed quite pricey - I asked them if they could find a cheaper alternate to go with my CPU.
Weeks passed, eventually I asked to just get the CPU and dead MOBO back when they were next in my area.
They said they would courier it to me instead and I said cool.
Weeks pass.
I call them and ask what's going on and they say that I haven't paid for the courier and for the call-out fee - I said no problem, but as now it had been months I asked them to take a photo of my MOBO and CPU before I paid - I was suspicious.
And that's the last I heard from them. I emailed a few more times, the last even threatening to report them but nadda.
And honestly, I was too busy to really follow through.
So now I'm tired of this thing sitting in a corner. And maybe want to sell and put the cash to a new XBox.
And I want to leave a very mean review on Google to that company who took my CPU and RAM
