Midrange PCs!

by MerlinatoR • 7 May 2010, 19:47 • Journals
I built a few midrange PC's, showing my brother galla how to build and setup a PC.

I'm looking to offload said PC's to anyone that wants to buy, have to be in the UK - looking to sell for £550 + P&P (if in London I dont mind training somewhere and meeting you, the case is light so thats no problem!)

Final Build in case, all tucked up


Spec:
Case: Coolermaster Black 360
PSU: Seasonic 520W
CPU: Intel Duocore 2.93ghz E7500
MotherBoard: Asus P5KPL SE
HD: Western Digital 320gb

how it performs,

That is not that bad, solid build for a midrange (/lowerish) PC now. You take the time to do a test before installing everything? I'm to lazy to bother lol, someday it'll hurt me but whatever. Also I have never seen a PSU get mounted there... that is really odd looking but seem to work fine O.o

its a very small case :) (W) 14 x (H) 36 x (D) 43.9 cm

I mainly do pre install component tests as its annoying to have to take it all out if something is wrong. :) just simply easier and doesnt take much more time at all.

the psu position baffled me too! but like I say small case ;)

Yah it makes sense, I went and looked up the case later. Its odd but whatever, gotta make it all fit somehow lol. I have a CM Centurion 5, its a pretty nice case but I think next build I'm going Antec.

hmm dunno what the prices are like these day back home, but it still seems a bit overpriced to me. In Germany I can bang one together for about 500€ with a bit better specs...

me too ;) this isn't what it cost me obviously ;d

but better spec for even 500euro isn't going to be by much performance wise - this will play all games previously released and likely any game released this year smoothly without any issue.
