Title: [Closed] Fast desktop - Mini-ITX Z68, 2600K, 16GB RAM, OCZ Vertex3 MAX IOPs, 2TB

SOLD

Selling my custom built desktop computer. It is a small size computer in the Mini-ITX form factor - see the whole album of pictures here: http://imgur.com/a/ezXs3

The motherboard is a Zotac Z68 Wifi, and it has an Intel Core i7-2600K processor for maximum overclockabilty. The case is a Silverstone Sugo SG-07 with a 600 watt power supply - enough to run the most powerful graphics card that you can stuff into the case!
The processor is cooled with a closed loop water cooling system to keep the system totally quiet. The water cooler is a Corsair H70.

There is a 2TB Western Digital hard drive for bulk storage, and an OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS edition Solid State Drive for ultimate speed. There is also a second drive bay available to add another SSD, so you could have them in a RAID 0 for even more speed!
No video card is included, but you can add your own if you want to. The motherboard has onboard video - 2 HDMI ports and 1 Mini-DisplayPort port. There is room for a 5970 or 7970, and the PSU will handle one of those beasts with ease.

If you want to reduce the price, I can sell it without the SSD and/or HDD - make an offer! Asking 250 205 BTC shipped.

EDIT: The SSD is 120 GB, and the system includes a slot-loading Blu-ray reader and DVD writer. Link to newegg parts list: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=12835809

Asking 250 BTC shipped.

Is that a typo?

I don't think so, were you wanting to make an offer?
It cost me quite a bit more than that when I built it a month or so ago, but I haven't really been following the component prices since then.

What size SSD does it have?

Pricing also depends on warranty and transferrability, even so some of these prices may even be steep to a few people

You may be able to get that amount in parts, but I don't think you will.

$250 - i7-2600k
$130 - Case
$150 - Mobo
$1/gb - SSD
$50 - H70
$100-$150 - Misc. Parts (don't know what RAM either)

Pricing also depends on warranty and transferrability, even so some of these prices may even be steep to a few people
The SSD is a 120GB model. Sorry I didn't make that clear in the OP. I just remembered that I have a newegg wishlist for this system (handy things, those!), and here it is: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=12835809

That would be a new build obviously, which totals about $1225 not including the case which has been deactivated (it included a 600W PSU). So since it is used (preassembled for you... lol), how does 205 BTC sound, with shipping to lower 48?

Also, brb to update OP to show SSD size and add the Blu-ray drive.

Why can't you be selling this anywhere near where I live?  :D

Bump for you - I built one of these for someone just recently and it was staggering playing games on a triple-monitor setup in full settings from such a tiny thing.

Bump for sales! Price reduced, this is a nice compact powerhouse that will easily run an overclocked 7970 or even 7990 if they ever get released...

It is also very very quiet due to the watercooling system. The rad is attached to the bottom of the main 200(?)mm case fan, which is a low velocity high flow unit. It also has a 120mm Scythe fan on the other side of the rad - this fan makes a lot more noise, but isn't needed if you aren't overclocking. This system hasn't been overclocked, but if you want to do so, just connect the Scythe fan and turn it up to 11.

And remember...

When and if a Bitcoin is worth $4m you can ride a giraffe with this in your lap and proudly declare, "I paid nearly a billion dollars for this."

I purchased this system from rjk and sent btc first.  It arrived 2 days later and was very well packed.  Everything is as described and running perfectly, thanks again.   :)

Enjoy! Yes, I always err on the side of paranoia when packing anything... I've seen too much of this kind of stuff happening to trust any shipper: http://youtu.be/Z1mhz1-biEY
