Why was this computer sold for so cheap?

I've heard about tons of online scams based around expensive electronic equipment , even on ebay. Which led me to wonder , how is this computer selling for so cheap? ;

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/QUAD-CORE-Q6600-500GB-SATA-2-GB-DDR2-512MB-GFX_W0QQitemZ250178842797QQihZ015QQcategoryZ179QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

I know it looks good , and for the price , it looks immense.

Help me spot any fault in the above product?

Flawed logic with the ghz rating.

Does not specify ram, hard disk, burner brand/model.

Asrock is a lower end motherboard model.

Garbage graphics.

No monitor.

450 watt PSU! There is a part that would HAVE to be upgraded to get anywhere with this machine.

Doesn't mention if the parts are used or not.

Then, with it being Ebay...thats not so far off. Only thing good about the machine is the quad core CPU.

 

Your hyperlink doesn't work for me. Anybody else have that problem?

 

Yeah. Just copy and paste the text.

 

Got it. Thanks.

 

I notice the winning buyer was a

'Majordamage'



Not actually a bad price for a barebones box with no connecting cables, screen, keyboard, mouse, and most important No operating system.

You can find similar with other UK suppliers, although I recommend getting the OS with the box so that you have some comeback if things go pear shaped. Also buying the OS separately is the expensive way to do it.

 

That's HILARIOUS!!!

13.44 GHz??!?!? Wonder what kind of cooling that takes!
