need some input on my comp

i know the psu isnt great but its works absolutely fine.. and ok lets see the comp cost over 400 to build not including the os.. ill go 300 shipped with no os and without the dvd rom
 
Ummm.. The OS is the only thing worth anything.

I'll give an example. Yesterday I dropped off a brand new machine to a client with the following specs:

AMD X2 4400+ retail box
Asus M2N-MX SE
Kingston 1GB DDR2 retail box
160GB SATA
LG DVD/RW
In-win SFF desktop case
XP Home with disk/manual/COA

$399 plus tax, brand new, 1 year warranty.

So, you want to strip the OS and the DVD player out of it, and leave whoever with a very crappy mobo and PSU, ugly case and boot up to a prompt. Where's the incentive to that and how is that worth anything without even a warranty (because we all know that if you own an MSI board, chances are REALLY good you're going to need the warranty)? The MSI board is getting slaughtered in reviews.

I dunno. No OS or DVD.. $200 max is fair.

Why'd you go with AMD for that build? You've made some some less than favorable comments regarding their quality. :D
 
Not quality, but speed. The quality is fine, their performance is meh.

However, the client had a price point of $400. To meet it, AMD was the answer. He was thrilled with the end result. This morning he was all excited about how fast it was.. telling the other members about his "lamborghini".

I can't help it. I'm just good at what I do.
 
Yeah...well... They should have had me build their computers. I just build darn good computers. I made that thing dance and he's pickled tink.
 
see this is one thing i cant figure out about most u people these dont require u to be negative this is for sale if u dont like it u dont need to voice it.. seems alot of u people people like to try to bring down other people especially the 13 year olds which i find funny but if ur not interested in the computer dont post just move on and this thread wasnt started so i could hear how u built some AMD Garbage for a customer.. make ur own thread if u want to do that
 
The idea is for you to get a clue what PCs are really worth... and junk isn't worth anything. Once you have a clue, you'll have much better luck selling it :)
 
ive sold pcs, built for customers.. and everything else.. junk is ur opinion ok some bad reviews some not this has worked amazing for me..
 
Fabulous. So has everyone else. If you have, then you'd know the price is way too high, that Microstar builds garbage, and that the value in the PC is the one thing you're not going to include.

So, if you're intent on getting top dollar, sell it to your "customers". I'm sure they'll love you. ;)
 
for one thing if i was selling for top dollar dont u think id be selling it for 450 what i built it for and im not, and the computer is worth atleast 325 if not more MSI boards arent that bad they arent top of the line such as asus or Gig but they beat out ECS, Jetway and other garbage.. dude i didnt make the thread for arguments as i said before if ur not interested dont post.. not goin around criticizing your stuff so i dont expect u to do that to mine.. im done arguing
 
Well, there's no sense in "arguing"... simply because it's like the special olympics.. Even if you win you're still retarded. lol :D

It's merely a discussion, or at least I hope it is.

MSI is, at least in my books, on par with ECS. I've sold both. I've lost 30% of my MSI boards to DOA. ECS? Maybe 1 or 2 *pieces*. I now will not touch an MSI board.

Also, as you can tell, I've been selling and servicing PCs professionally for more than 10 years now. There's not much I haven't seen. I also build 4000+ systems, plus value systems on demand (they have to be a good client, though, for the value systems). I'm extremely fussy what I build and sell.

So. I showed you value. You're welcome to do whatever you like, of course. If it's of no help to you what I shared with you I totally respect that. I don't expect you to see things my way. However, I *do* expect that you don't take offense to it and act childish.

Microstar International has a real issue with quality control. My reputation depends on quality and reliability. People will pay me more because my reputation precedes me. I now market $5000+ home theater PC systems. You can't do that selling junk at top dollar.

So there's my angle. Feel free to do whatever you like with it and I'll respect that. Cheers. :)
 
i see where ur comin from as far as ur bad experiences but ive never had a problem with msi at all no doa nothing.. and ive used them quite a bit for budget builds, tried an ecs and a pc chips and jetways and have had many probs.. but i see where ur coming from..
