I really need to sell this system so I'm stripping a few things out to sell separately which essentially makes this a bring your own GPU and drive party. As before everything works great but the power button on the case is a little finicky and sometimes has to be held down a little longer or pressed twice before it will power on. The connection at the MLB is good so it's a cable or button issue it appears.
Looking below you see links to all the parts used. You are getting a high end aluminum case, beefy power supply, semi custom cabling, slim optical drive, Sandy Bridge CPU that can easily be overlocked, Z68 based intel MLB, high end cooling fans, no maintenance CPU water cooler, and a good chunk of ram.
That is 959.33 dollars worth of hardware for the asking price of $500. You just need to add a GPU, HDD/SSD, keyboard, mouse, monitor, and speakers (if you buy it soon I have a logitech 5.1 set I will throw in for free) to have a very nice system.
I'm right in Austin near Dragon's Lair as well so a direct sale should be easy for anyone in the area. If you have any questions please let me know.
