The Energon Pub

To help pay the bills for the coming month I'm selling off the working components from my busted computer.

What I have up for sale might be beneficial to people with slightly older systems.

Up first is the NZXT Guardian Gaming Case. I am selling this seperate of the power supply but they can be bought together. I've removed the multicolored fan and replaced it with a blue LED fan to match the case. The grating on the side fan has also been removed to help airflow. All other fans have been removed because they were cheap and broke. I haven't tried the sweep LEDs on the front in about 2 years but they should work. It's a bit dusty but otherwise in excellent condition.



Next we have a Radeon 9800 Pro Graphics Card. Once again. A bit dusty and used. But still works well enough. Before my computer went completely belly up I started getting artifacting. I'm unsure if it was caused by the card or the motherboard. If purchased and you do get artifacting, I will refund you the purchase price and you can toss the card in the garbage. If you have integrated and want to upgrade to something decent, this will work fine. It's AGP.



Then I have a 400 watt power supply. This was the unit that came with the case. It has three different fan speed settings and I've never had a problem with it. Works perfectly.



And finally I have two sticks of Ultra Brand 512mb RAM. It's 3200 at a speed of 400mhz. Never had a problem with them the entire time I've used them.



I won't name a price on any of this stuff. I'd be happy to get half the cost I paid when I purchased all this 3 years ago. That's doubtful but I can hope. Regardless I won't scoff at any offer because I'd rather sell these to someone than toss it all in the garbage. At least then they would get some use. I'm only going to keep this up for another 5 days. After that it's getting tossed in the garbage. So if you're wanting computer parts for dirt cheap, get them now.

Slight update. Still no sales. Or contact. From anyone. I thought quite a few people on here were into building computers. Huh.

I'd be interested in talking to you about the video card. What kind of artifacting did you experience? Was it something that happened before the OS loaded up (distortion, green bars?)

I never noticed any problems during actual use in Windows. It mainly seemed to happen when I would be playing games. For example in Jedi Outcast polygons would stretch and flicker at random. It seemed like if I underclocked the card it was fine. Though I've read that this wasn't a one off case either.

I will point this out to my husband since he would know what he'd want/need if he wants/needs.
