After 224 posts in those thread (and countless other threads), you're going to sell it? Bummer :(

BTW, your speeds on the M4 look good to me.

Dude I dunno! Maybe he biggest impulse buy ever? Maybe things have just changed with me? Seriously :(.

Can steam accounts be sold or is that illegal? All I have on that acct is skyrim lol.

It is against the Steam terms of service to sell an account, but it is not illegal. If they find out that you did it, they will ban the account though.

I can't believe that you are now, returning everything ? This is after you returned the video card once, started a thread on almost every other part, determined to find something wrong with what you recieved ? Having to be convinced other-wise , and now you have determined that you don't need the computer. This is what strains companies , exchange and return policies.
edit: I know, I shouldn't care, but it's bizarre.

Trust me, i feel like a major dumbass. Also don't worry, every part I am returning carries shipping and restocking fees so it's not like i just returned everything and im golden lol.

Anyone wanna buy an i5-2500k? :(

That's like me, I enjoy building computers so much, and then I have a hard time selling them off. I managed to pawn one off on a friend of mine, for the cost of the Windows OS llicense. The hardware and labor were free.

Trying to sell another one for half price to a different friend. That one is a gaming rig, and I would take way too much of a hit to just give that one away. I already burned a Windows license on that board.

I could use them all as distributed computing crunchers, well, as long as I have enough AC circuits to plug them into. Probably pushing things in my apt as far as power goes. Unsure if all of the outlets in my living room are on the same circuit or not.

lol I think I just wanted to see how good PC gaming had gotten and how it would be to build a really nice new PC. Then I realized I had no need for it. Part of it was also nostalgic--I romanticized memories of building my first one. And the other part of it is how awesome it is to put one together like you said. Unfortunately I will pay a ton for it. :( Twas fun though!

You hold him still while I choke him to death. LOL

Roger that. :awe:

OP, I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you. Think of it this way: calculate the number of hours you had fun researching and building then divide that by your net loss. I think that you'll find it is much less expensive per hour than a movie ticket!

Very true. I did have an absolute blast, and I HAD to do it to get it out of my system. It's really not a huge deal if I lose some money (which I will). Anyone wanna buy a pretty much brand new i5-2500K? :awe:
