[DarrenToogood]

Dell Inspiron Desktop *UPGRADED*

Mint condition, fully working. Purchased new in November 2009. Since then I have installed over £120s worth of new components. A new 450W PSU (still have original, included in sale) and have installed a nVidia 7950GT graphics card. As well as this, I have replaced the original HDD with a 500GB Western Digital.

- Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q8200 2.33Ghz (9.32ghz in total)
- 4GB RAM DDR2
- 500GB Western Digital 'Blue' HDD
- nVidia 7950GT 512mb Graphics Card PCI-E
- Corsair 450W Modular PSU
- DVD Drive (Original Dell installed one)
- Windows 7 OS installed and activated (legal)

Also comes with a Windows Vista legal serial sticker (on case).

This is a nice, quiet desktop with a media reader at the front. Has a total of 6 USB ports and many Audio jack ports. The graphics card is DVI connection however included within the sale is a DVI to VGA adaptor.

£370 ono. Interested to hear any Part X or Trade offers as well.

Needs to go - Make me an offer. Ready to take away!

Shame I don't have any money ATM. I would really consider buying if I did.

Edit: +Rep for such an awesome deal.

[Tomm]

Over priced, you could build that new for around the same price, not to mention that it is more than likely that lower quality parts were used in the Dell OEM build and the pain of a OEM case.

[Stephen!]

"(9.32ghz in total)"

Lulz.

[DarrenToogood]

I would like to see you build a similar spec desktop for that price.

I know it is in a Dell case, however I am quite surprised as to how nice the case is. Don't forget, I have put a better graphics card and PSU in, and also upgraded the HDD - So not all of it are Dell parts. A very quiet desktop as well, compared to my home-built PC.

As I said in the original advert, I am open to offers. I am needing the cash.

As for the ''9.32ghz'' - There to impress those who have small knowledge. Yes I know how the Quad-Core works, how each process takes a different core, and that those cores are only going to process at 2.33.ghz.

[Kieran]

The problem with most Dell cases, if not all is that they are BTX standard meaning that ATX motherboards (Which are the majority used) wont fit. So if you wanted to upgrade, you'd have to change case...

[DarrenToogood]

I see what you mean, but tbh, if someone is going to upgrade the mobo on a computer it is just like a complete build anyway, so might aswell get a bigger case and upgrade other aspects.

If someone is looking for a computer which is ready to use, and is decent enough for what they need it for, this is it. Ideal for photo editing, gaming and general home/business use.

UPDATE: Will include a power lead and Dell mouse in this sale

Don't forget this comes with legal Windows 7 installed and activated, plus a legal Vista serial. That is worth something.

[Adamm]

I should think you will include the power lead as well.

[DarrenToogood]

I am selling as desktop only, however I have the lead laying around so might as well include it. Also have the Dell mouse.

[The Professor]

Otherwise known as lying? You could tell them it's been to the moon on the back of a giraffe too to impress the gullible amongst us but it still isn't right. Personally I wouldn't trust someone with my £370 if they're going to knowlingly deceive those who don't know any better.

[DarrenToogood]

I am a very trustworthy seller and buyer, thank you very much.

I am a verified business user on Paypal, a 100% feedback seller on eBay and run a respected business.

I have stated what is included within the sale, people can read it how they wish.

[Tomm]

Was bought a while ago for someone who wanted me to build them a PC for £400.

22160

[Stephen!]

It's not bad value actually. Video card is very outdated however you do get Windows 7 included which is worth somewhat alot.

[DarrenToogood]

Tomm, that is a very similar spec system apart from the HDD.

As Stephen has re-stated, you also get a legal version of Windows 7 AND a legal serial of Vista included within this sale, which are both worth something in themselves. Therefore, I feel the asking price is very reasonable.

[Tomm]

The graphics card is practically worthless. Consists of a dell motherboard (Foxconn, eew) and most likely some cheap sticks of RAM. £300 rather than nearing the £400 end would be a much fairer price considering everything is used components. Also if you know where to look/where to buy the license is not that much anyway.

£350 + delivery would be a fair price, would it not? I'd even go £340 + delivery if someone wants to offer...

Lying and trust don't mix ;) No matter how you try to sugar coat how great a seller you are, saying the total CPU is 9.2Ghz or whatever is lying. Besides, it's a pretty silly thing to say since, well, if no-one knows how a Quad Core works in the first place, they won't understand that number anyway, so waste of time.

[Recursion]

Not far off, but it has a better GPU (going by the internet) and a faster CPU.

Shop around to knock about £30 off?, Add the £30 student pricing for Windows 7.

Build may seem crap but it only took 2 minutes.

http://skitch.*****.co.uk/specs2.png

[DarrenToogood]

Not everyone gets student prices for Windows, and this is for legal Vista and 7.

Also, not everyone has the knowledge to build or the want to build a system - This is a ready to go system which is like brand new.

[DarrenToogood]

£350 + delivery.

Any takers? Will consider trade and PX offers.

[Metric1]

Why would I want both Windows Vista and Windows 7? I only need one. As for the power lead, if you weren't going to include that how the hell is somebody expected to plug it in and use it.

I'll stick with my over-priced Apple products TYVM.

[DarrenToogood]

Because, if you were just buying a tower, it would mean you have everything else.

Anyway, provisionally sold. If anyone on here wants it, say now. Give me a ring on 0560 1717 864

[lazerman]

Why the **** are you selling it for 370 pounds here when you are selling it on http://www.wightbay.com/XCClassifieds/CPViewItem.asp?ID=1885290 for £335 pounds!!!!!!!1

Now THAT'S crafty work. Thanks for showing us this, lazer.

Darren, it does shock me that you think you can charge us more.

[lazerman]

Dumb ***** left his phone number, all I did was search it lol...

[The Professor]

Lol lazer i found that too. He also has the most scathing review ever and considering the fact he lied to tech-savvy people in this thread AND justified it AND tried to overprice it to us when he's selling it for more elsewhere I'm not surprised at it!

Weren't you the guy who was always crying about being bullied on here Darren? If you go about your business like this its hardly surprising!

[lazerman]

Any reason why you have not replied to this darren? Even though you been online today :).

[DarrenToogood]

Because I am not silly :)

Appealing to different markets. People on here are younger, therefore more likely to pay extra for something, i.e. they don't know the true value. Also, people on here will know what it is worth - £370 would be a realistic price, however I have had an offer locally of £335 and therefore classify this item as sold, pending payment.

£335 is a ****** offer, but I need the cash.

[KyleSmith]

Its about time someone be-littled you. Your always doing it trying to show off and that. Now the shoe is on the other foot. You think your all better than anyone else were not just 'kids' were the same as everybody else. Just because your stuck up your own arse no need to fool other people into thinking its worth 370 because it isnt. Cya Nublett

[GommeInc]

This reminds me of those threads about photography :P Arguments revolving around who is a pro, what snaps are etc etc. Basically just a load of twoddle from someone who knows very little about the field in which they work in.

Basically, you thought you'd try and rob us blind because you thought we were thick. That just lost you a whole lot of respect from everyone on this forum.

NEWSFLASH, we're not as thick as you think, you are the silly one here, and you've epic failed. Congratulations.

Now, if he were offering gold plated prostitutes, I might be interested.... LOL

I wouldn't pay £3.15 for his machine. (However, £1 and half a pack of custard creams and I might be interested)

[DarrenToogood]

£315 for a Core Quad, 4GB Dell computer which has been uprated, and comes with a legal version of Windows (all activated) plus a legal Vista serial, is a very good price.

I have avoided eBay as they take too much. Gumtree is the next step.

[GommeInc]

You can get a brand new ZooStorm Premium Desktop PC with those exact specifications for just a bit a above that :)

And didn't you sell this PC, or are you doing the whole "pretend I'm about to sell it to gain more interest" tactic?

[DarrenToogood]

Someone came around to have a look at it, offered me £300 and I said no, £335. They didn't seem too upset by this, as this is what we agreed prior to a viewing, however they were put off because I didn't have any paperwork, i.e. manuals :S

Wasted my time really. They clearly can not read the advert.

£300 now guys. I want rid of it, and need the cash.

Why don't you just put it on ebay? They hardly charge much really.

[Kieran]

Put it on eBay and charge a bit more for postage to make up for eBays costs. Simple...

[DarrenToogood]

I could do, but then it is a waste of my money/time if I put it on eBay, and no one bids...

I may do, if another 'insertion fee free' day comes up.

So instead of putting it on an extremely popular site you put it on a site where maybe 30 people tops are going to read the ad? And how is it a waste of time, you sit and do nothing while people bid on it, hardly time consuming "/

No way would I buy this computer off you if you werent going through eBay, too much money to risk, (even if I wanted to buy it)
