How can I make this computer more sellable?

Post by levywilson »

Been trying to sell this PC for 3 months now. Only messages I get are from scammers and people who accidentally click the "is this available" button. I had it listed at $200, but dropped it to $150 just to try to make back what I put into it. Attached are some of the photos I took to try to advertise it. What can I do to make this thing more sellable?

Processor: Intel Xeon x3470 (2.93 GHz base, 3.60 GHz boost)
Cooler: Deepcool Theta 20 PWM
Motherboard: Dell Inspiron 580
Memory: 2x4GB sticks of some random DDR3 I had for a total of 8GB system memory
GPU: EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 ti SC
WIFI card: TPLink Archer T5E
SSD: Kingston KC600 256GB
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
DVD Writer
PSU: Antec NeoECO Gold Zen Series NE500G 500W

I think you should change the case to a fancier one, because the specs itself are fine
I don't put CDs in my computer

Just sold it after trying for like 3 months. Ended up selling it without the GPU. They had a 1650 they were going to put into it for her brother. So now I gotta figure out what to do with this 750ti that I bought specifically for this build. :/

Glad you managed to sell it. And hey, there are worse things than a spare GPU! If you do any 3D rendering or video editing, you can probably utilize it as a secondary GPU, and of course I use secondary GPUs for running virtual machines at near-native speeds.

I've been meaning to get into playing with virtual machines again. Used to do it all the time when all I had was a 2009 Macbook Pro. Just whipping up a Linux or WinXP VM and messing around and whatnot. Never anything practical. I did try to make a system that could run a VM of OSX with an old Radeon card, but I couldn't get it to work. Might need to revisit that when I clear some more projects off my backboard.
