Hi all. I will soon be in receipt of a shiny new shuttle amongst other things and so I am getting rid of my current stuff. Besides the likely savings on delivery fees; I will discount the purchaser of the kit denoted in the first area. This is essentially my old PC. Of course, any questions I can answer with pictures or text; I will.. Sensible offers only please.

[b]PRICE REDUCTIONS –  Check out the picture of the Antec P160W case if you have not done so already. [/b][/color]

My old PC

AMD Athlon XP-Mobile 2500+. Barton core (512kb level 2). Runs at 2200mhz (equivalent to a 3200+) just fine. This is based on 200*11 with 1.6 vCore. May go further with sufficient attention and use of appropriate techniques (e.g. burning in). Will add stepping information ASAP.  
[b]Price: £35[/b]

[url=http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/main_product_slk900a.htm]Thermalright SLK900-A[/url] with Panaflo 92mm (uses molex connector, though only thru 2 actual pins). This fan is loud imo.

[url=http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=NF7-S&fMTYPE=Socket+A]Abit NF7S V2.0[/url]. This motherboard should need little introduction. Essentially the best over clocking platform for AthlonXP's (for pure speed as opposed to the DFI's reputation for extreme FSB's). 
[b]Price: £30[/b]

Corsair CMX512-3200LL Pro. This is a DDR1 memory module featuring support for 2-3-2-6 timings (at stock voltage) and memory read/write activity indicating LED's on the top. In recognition of the awkwardness of it being a single module (given the need for two modules for dual channel...); I believe I have chosen a price which fairly reflects that.
[b]Price: £50[/b]

I bought this second hand from some one in January and I have not used it but I have full trust in the seller and no reason to believe there is anything wrong with it. There is one small bit of damage; there is a small piece of plastic missing from two of the SATA sockets. Here is a picture to illustrate.

[url=http://www.antec.com/uk/productDetails.php?ProdID=09161]Antec P160W Case[/url] Modded expertly (by wildcard) to include a perspex (transparent) window in the top of the case. Set within this, are two Akasa 120mm blue LED fans. I have several pictures of this, plus I can take more upon request. Here is a taster image:

Should you wish to see more, post here or pm me your email address and I will email you a 1.69mb zip file with some more 1024*768 resolution photo’s. As I said, I can send other pictures, including at higher resolution if you wish. 
There are a few bits of damage or alteration. On the right hand side panel, is a shallow scratch. Its only visible if the light catches it from a certain angle and its pretty small at that. Its roughly a shape like this:

. |
And its about 3cm in size. (Ignore that dot, its not present on the case).
There is no other damage I am aware of. At the back of the case, two small holes had been drilled as the previous user suspended a reservoir here. On the top front display is the HDD activity light. Connector for this that goes on the motherboard was split by myself as on my motherboard, the pins for this to work are separated by a gap. The light still works fine despite the plastic casing for one half of the “plug” being discarded. 
I am selling the whole case as a bare bones solution of a sort, in that you the purchaser; gets the following:
- The case with windowed side panel.
- Original, non-windowed side panel.
- 2x Akasa 120mm blue LED case fans.
- 2x Antec 120mm green LED case fans (mounted on rubber screw thingys).
- 2 blue 12" cold cathodes (one at top, one at bottom). + inverter of course.
- [url=http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/cases/Enermax_Fan_Controller_1.html]This Enermax fan controller[/url] that conveniently matches the lights; providing RPM and temperature read outs. NB. A link to the official Enermax website page on this product is...

All of this kit comes pre-installed ofc. 

*Pictures coming Sunday*.
[b]Price: £100[/b]
This price is not negotiable. I am already running at a loss on that. :(

[url=http://www.tagan.com/pages/products/easyconS/e_tg580_u15.html]Tagan TG-580-U15 Modular PSU[/url]. Superbly powerful, yet VERY quiet. Comes in original box with all accesories less a few black plastic cable ties (worth 5p?).
[b]Price: £65[/b]

Payment into bank account is preferred, though I will accept cleared cheques. I don’t use paypal. [b]Delivery is at the purchaser’s expense[/b] and I will not be adding my own cut to this!  :lol:

Any questions on anything, post, private message, email (my hotmail) or add me to MSN (online most evenings). [email]ghoststalkeruk@hotmail.com[/email]
Email me at: [email]person@myrtle-bristol.eclipse.co.uk[/email]
That address is from my ISP [url]www.eclipse.co.uk[/url]. Myrtle the road my house (i share with 3 other students) is on. If you were wondering...

No doubt as I am a new user here, there will rightfully be trust issues. Please see my profile [url=http://www.over-clock.com/ivb/index.php?showuser=2467]here[/url] on a UK based forum. Also, I have been registered at [url=http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=22623]nforcershq[/url] for a long time though they dont operate a feed back system there. Its far from conclusive but I hope this goes some way to reasuring people I am a genuine pc enthusiast and not a dodgy trader. 
Given the bulky nature of some of the items, collection by car might actually be cheaper than paying for delivery. In that circumstance, people will have an opportunity to meet me and see where I live!  ;) :p
