Cheap case and psu

Waza · 21 Mar 2011 at 21:42

Hi All,

I'm looking for a cheap case and psu that will run a

core 2 quad core 2.4ghz
8800gt 512mb graphics card
ocz 4gb ram
500gig hdd

Basically i'm upgrading my computer but don't want to sell my case and psu so was thinking i could swap them out with something cheap.

Thanks

What are you upgrading to ? not a good idea to buy a cheap low wattage PSU and case if you are looking to upgrade ?

He's upgrading his components bar the PSU and case (Keeping his current case and PSU which are presumably of sufficient quality to run the new components), he wants this cheap case and PSU to be able to complete his old machine presumably to sell on.

Hows this for starters:

That makes no sense at all postage costs go through the roof for cases and power supplies.
Just sell the parts on their own it's not worth buying a new case and psu just to try and sell it on as a complete unit.
You only need 40 more posts to get access to the members market on here just sell the parts separately or as a bundle.

he should be able to access it now. i believe its 250 posts within 90 days, or 100 posts in a year.

It may be better for you to sell the components seperately. I don't see the logic in buying brand new parts to sell as a "used system" you're gonna lose money.

Unless you plan on donating a working computer to someone.

Tiger it turns out my brother is going to buy it seperately so it saves me trying to get rid of it but of course at a discount. I'm just glad that i don't need to go down this road.
