That last workstation is a Dell precision t3500. I have 10 of them. I'll slap a GPU, most likely a gtx 750 ti or 570 and sell the PC for around 200-300. I think it's a good bang for the buck workstation but not worth 700 the guy was asking.

[@GregSalazar]

Exactly. I didn't want anyone to get the impression that you _couldn't_ game on these machines... but for $700, you could do *a lot* better :-)

There's the T7500 which is a supercharged version of the T3500. It has dual xeons , ram risers for 16 dimms, million drive bays... they are a beast.

[@alexanderpatrus9588]

Ian Pugh those 6 core xeons are beast. I try to get one of those in the PCs I sell. The guy should have invested the 20 or so dollars into a better CPU for his listing at least for a bit better gaming performance

[@Atlasworkinprogress]

@@alexanderpatrus9588 I know that one of those 6 cores is unlocked and performs quite well. Like a mini HEDT CPU. Those are about $60, and can swap into a T3500, with the addition of a decent heatsink. I just wanna know how that guy got an aftermarket PSU to work.

The GTX 580 still isn't bad if you find it for like $40 or less, but yeah you're right. It's far off from an RX 580 for sure.

[@crzyces1693]

That's what I thought he was talking about initially until he said "GTX". I thought he was being a bit hard on the 580 (I'd consider a 4GB 580 mid-entry level now, not a nice of crap that won't play any new games) until the Nvidia reveal. That's a nice "Vintage Gaming PC/Home Workstation; $225 USD" as it will play last gen and previous games great, but even in modern eSports, that thing is going to buckle hard, and AAA games? C'mon, what was the seller talking about? He'd be better off pulling the card, selling it as a collectible and using the $60 he gets to put a better card for it's use case in. Beh, it still doesn't matter much though, as it will still not get him near his target price.

Can’t believe these people don’t even try to at least clean up their PCs when putting them up for sale...

[@tomeklevy14]

dust=cheap

[@crzyces1693]

Right? If I'm selling RAM, or a motherboard, never mind an entire PC, I make sure it's clean as heck and packaged, with everything specced out. The last thing ppl want to see in a build is caked on dust. I clean my PC's regularly, but when one goes up for sale it turns into spring cleaning. Fans get unscrewed and popped off the heatsink, every fin is swiped with a super thin flat head after it's blasted with compressed air (a super light coating of mineral or vegetable oil is great for shine as well. Just put some on a cloth/rag, wipe the screw driver with it before your last dust sweep then get the top of the fins with the cloth and viola, shiny shine shine. It's great for the plastic on the fan blades and plastic as well. WD40 is also a must as we want those fans shiny and as quiet as possible). Then not listing the specs, or OC'ing the Xeon...(can you even OC on that board? It would most likely at least have BCLK available I would think) .No listing of the RAM speeds. The games add a little value if you don't already have them. Big problem. Most people don't use let sites for Windows, and there is no OS listed. I'd assume there is one if there are games installed, but it could be Linux for all we know. Heh, I'm mixing three of the PC's together here, and all of them when it comes to listing exact specs.

[@larrygall5831]

Yeah, $6 for a can of compressed air would get them a hundred bucks.. but only if they were asking reasonable prices in the first place.. which they're not.

I cleaned out a PC I got for free last year, it was a FX 6300 CPU with 8GB RAM and a RX 260. I replaced the 260 with a GTX 770 and sold it for 400 bucks. The buyer said he chose to buy my PC because it looked clean compared to the other sellers, he even traveled around 40KM to get it :D

Jeez... For the FX-4100 and the Xeon, you could literally get the Athlon 200GE and get better performance.

I mean, I have an X58 build with six hyperthreaded 32nm cores @4.7 GHz, so about double the 45nm-Xeon's frequency if not overclocked (assuming the motherboard even could oc is brave in itself) and 3/2 the cores... it gets just over 1000 cb. So, assuming this build would beat an Athlon 200GE multicore is fair, but not by much... ...the FX 4100 though might even be slower since it has no HT, rather shares resources over the four threads with overall weaker ipc, so even @4.2 GHz it might be slower than the ancient Quadcore-Xeon.

one thing that could increase the value of a pc is the contents of the hard drive both real and deleted. if you get your self some basic forensics software something to clone a drive to iso image and recover deleted files you could find some juicy files as as many sellers may not take the time to properly wipe the drive. so you could find that he ripped his cds or downloaded mp3s or even stored a credit card or 2 on the drive. so some of that could make the pc worth more

9:41 is either a Dell T3500 or T5500 series precision desktop. I know this because I run a T7500 myself with a xeon x5690, 48GB ecc ddr3, RX 580 8gb and ssd's/hdd's (cinebench tells me its as good as a Ryzen 3 or 5 LOL). The E5520 is like $3.50 on eBay right now and very slow (I have one in my closet lol). So that last rig IMHO is sub $200~ at the very least. $150~ on the low end.

That ad is genuinely hilarious

[@TParkcasual]

Man I have bunch of pristine condition Pc-Components that I've accumulated over the last 5-years of building & upgrading my build and peripherals. From used 8700K, 1080Ti(Ftw3), Corsair570X-Chasis, Aio's, to smalls like Ram Corsair M.2(mp500) Etc. but the only place I know of to sell them Is Craigslist' but am skeptical dealing with false buyers, scammers...Are there other ligitiment website where you can sell PC-Parts?

[@FrenchFries196]

The Ad,d was actually really good not long and funny and now I want the CASE +.+

"Yeah but my TV and fridge from 10 years ago still work. So why wouldn't this PC work?"

[@sburton015]

at lease the 580 was top of the line in late 2010. For around $800, I was able to build me a PC with an Intel Core i7-4770k cpu, 16 gb ddr3 2400 mhz ram, a PNY Nvidia gtx1080, and a 250 gb samsung 860 evo ssd with a 3 tb hard drive. But for the performance of the fx4100, I would rather have a Core 2 Quad from early 2007.

[@techlord5573]

This is why I stopped rebuilding the LGA 775 I'm putting them on Craigslist because to me they're just not worth it anymore and anybody with any computer knowledge would know not to buy it.

[@davisly1]

Terrible prices and fun to see u make these craigslist videos

[@TheWipprSnappr]

Did that second to last guy have his rear fan mounted as intake???

[@sssesoj]

Doeas DDR4 RAM really costs half the price when they are used?

[@ATECHPCs]

The first PC it says DDR3 at 2133 well DDR3 doesn't go that high it only goes to 1600 just thought I would point that out

[@Shmozone]

Pretty sure the case is a haf 912 on the second listing. I actually had the case on my first PC and it was pretty good for airflow pcs and still holds up. Zero radiator support but not a bad case.

[@calvinhilsinger]

The gtx 580 actually only has either a 1.5gb or 3gb buffer

[@TripleMoonPanda]

Don't under estimate hte X58 platform. It may be old but some of those cpus can still get up and boogie with modern cpus in gaming.

[@ProjectMurYT]

I agree with the pricin being way too high however you can game on a xeon cpu i built my buddy one paired with a 970 an he gets well above 60fps in alot of the titles mentioned with no issues at all they can also be overclocked xeon chips are great for those with not alot of money an want to game at 1080p with good gps med-high settings

[@randysalsman6992]

Hey, that first computer you have there for $800 well just letting you know that the GTX 580 never came with 2 GB VRAM. It only had 1.5 GB and some had 3 GB VRAM, I had the latter.

[@GregSalazar]

Tell that to him 😂

[@CobaltFoxPlays]

I sold my old workstation to server enthusiast for roughly $250CDN last year; next month would mark it 12 years old.

[@articletwelve8590]

Will you give your opinion on your subscribers computers, should they give you a build list as they may consider selling theirs?

[@purkeypilot]

The guy asking $1800 for the GTX1080 build didn't even spend that much to build it...

[@paulie_tremolo]

I mean...that last Xeon build was quite horridly priced. But what got my OCD going about that build is the absolute most random thing ever. Was the CPU cooler missing the fan that usually goes in front of the heatsink by any chance? :D

[@raduque]

It's an Intel BTX form factor, iirc the CPU fan was built into a shroud that runs the length of the case to isolate the CPU cooling. They probably removed it for the pics
