Although I don't like the processor, that's generally an awesome build. Good luck. :)
 
From a marketing aspect, I suppose the Q9450, or perhaps the Q6600. I'm guessing noobs (no offense to them) would be more attracted to a Quad over the E8400, although the dual core is arguably the better chip for gaming and definitely is a better overclocker.

The Q9300 is weak. It sports less cache than the Q6600, a 7.5 multiplier (although I'm not sure if those buying your rigs care to overclock), and only offers a 100MHz speed increase over the Q6600.

If these sell, build a few with the Q9450 and the E8400. :)
 
Excellent, thank you for your help.

I would have put the E8400 in, but they're sold out and I don't want to delay the order at all for the customer.

If that one does sell, ill add a few more PCs, with the processors mentioned above, also some with 4GB RAM over 8GB and some with BluRay and Some without, so then I can get a feel on what is preferred.

Will let everyone know how it turns out :-)
 
You're not going to get anywhere near that much for that system.

Just make sure that you pack it well, as it's very easily to have it damaged during shipping.
 
Yes, I will pack it in very securely, Ill also change the processor to a Core 2 Quad Q6600 and drop the price a bit.

Indeed, and it is priced so high because of the RAM and Motherboard with the Graphics and BluRay drive. I am thinking of putting another model, almost same spec, lower end mobo, and graphics and slower RAM and see what happens, but ill wait to see if I get any interest on the two I got on before I add more.
 
I see alot of people on ebay, the use high end CPU, and graphics. Then they will throw in generic ram (like 4Gb, cheap ram) and a lower end P35 motherboard. To the average user, those specs will look dramatic. All they see is "Quad core, 4Gb ram, 1TB Hard drive!).. they usually don't think about high end main boards, ram ect..
 
Indeed, I have noticed that a lot also. Luckily this is a no-risk, so if it doesn't sell, all ive lost is $4 on the advertisement.

Click to expand...

If you've looked at any benchmarks lately. the Q9300 performs better than the Q6600.
 
I have a few other computers for sale also

Pentium Dual-Core E2160 - 2GB RAM - 250GB HDD - 7300LE - XP Home or Vista Basic
$479.99

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - 2GB RAM - 250GB HDD - 7300LE - No Operating System
$599.99

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - 4GB RAM - 750GB HDD - 8800GTS G92 - XP Home or Vista Basic
$1,299.99

How are the prices on these, and any recommendations?
 
What are you going to do to stress test the system before you ship it if you don't have an OS on it? Are you going to install an evaluation version and then format the drive before you ship it?
 
I would make it clear that without an OS the computer will not do anything. If an ignorant consumer (alot of the people on ebay) bought it they might think they were cheated when they realize this and then give you bad ratings.
 
Three of them do come with Windows, just 1 doesn't, but ill take that into mind and put it into the auction w/out an OS.
