    I'm looking to sell a 146GB 15,000 rpm SAS hard drive (2ms access time) along with the necessary cables and a 256MB cache PERC 5i controller card which is capable of supporting up to 8 SATA or SAS drives. Anyone care to recommend a figure for this? I was thinking 300, but I'm not sure if that's enough.

    Come on suckas. I want to put this on adverts in the morning.

    stop talkin outta youre ass shiney! royalmarinecomms price of 2100 is a bit much, but 700 is on the complete other side of the scale. second hand that rig is worth at least 1500. FACT

    ur very optimistic arent ya, it has a good processer and mobo but everyting else is nothin special, i'd say at most for that ya would get 1000

    Ya, i'd like to see it 2 :D
    that is of course unless he got conned on Ebay. Some sellers on Ebay call a 3.0Ghz dual core a 6.0Ghz, its a very regular false advert, obviously some people fall for it.

    Cpuz will tell you ram speeds, open case & look at ram to put a manufacturer name on them.
    Gpuz will name your graphics card

    :)

    Seen this going around a good bit, very few apps, bar maybe some 3d rendering apps will make use of "9.6Ghz" so in a way its misleading, but I dont think its false advertising as it technically is true?

    Good point man, he should have in brackets at top of ad (4x2.40Ghz) to make it not false advertising :)
