I have the following computer parts for sale, all as one combo.

AMD Athlon XP 2100+, stock heatsink/fan combo.
1x512 Elixir pc2100 Ram
Asus A7V333 motherboard (flashed to version 1017), comes in originial box with M/B CD and m/b manual



Office/ Webworkers
This system has all the power you need and even more of the power you want. I never encountered an instance where the machine slowed down due to the fact that the hardware is slow. I've had a good 8+ browser windows up, and an additional 5+ AIM chat windows, and the system didn't skip a beat. Perfect for the home machine to use while you are away from the office


Gamers
The system, coupled with a decent graphics card (Geforce 3 or above), is a fantastic gaming machine. It is more of enough power for today's game, and the games well into tommorrow as well. I am selling the above combo cheap just for people like you. Its a fact that while the mobo, cpu, and ram are really important, the games of tommorrow are putting a terrible emphasis on the graphics card. This does not sidestep the system becuase no matter how fast your card is, it will be slowed down by the rest of your computer if the rest are slow. I have in mind the computer combo for the budget gamer who wants a great gaming machine, but at a small price. By putting the price on the parts small, this allows you to buy a better graphics card and have an all-around better gaming machine.


Pictures
I am getting my gf's digital camera latter this week, so untill then, you will just have to suffice with the pics from the parts websites. I posted pics of the cpu and mobo so u know what they look like, and as for the ram, just imagine 1 ram stick in your head. They all look the same.

Information
All of the above are in working condition and are approx 18 mos. old (but only have about 9 mos. of actual use). The actual clockspeed of the cpu is at 1.7 ghz. But due to the superiority of the Athlon architecture, it is rated by AMD to equal about a Pentium 4 2.1 ghz. In my practical experience, and by support of great tech sites as Tom's Hardware Guide and Anandtech, its really closer (on average) to a 2.2-2.3 ghz P4. The '2100+' moniker is slightly conservative.

The cpu has never been overclocked, nor as anything else. I do not like overclocking and I am quite happy with the stock performance i received from the system.




For the 3 parts, i am asking a small low price of $150.



S&H will be paid by the seller, but if it is more then $10, buyer and seller will split the cost.I will send them to anyone in the continental USA. As per their safety, I would perfer to send them uninstalled. However, if the buyer does not know how to put together the parts, i will do so for them AT NO EXTRA COST



Price is neg., but please don't waste both our time by submitting a ridiculously small lowball (aka $20). I will take check, pay pal, and even cash in an envelope (at your own risk tho).
