All of the major hardware mags tried to build a hackintosh to compare and could not match the price. and even when they
came close, they only did so by leaving out several features. Not to mention none could do it at the size.

They days of putting together better hardware at even a comparable cost are gone.

Apple buys most of the worlds best fab/part plants output etc.

Why do you think droid phones feature ELO displays. They can't get the IPS ones
as Apple has bought out almost all of the total global production in the phone sized one's.

People keep forgetting the mac pro is equivalent to the high end dell xeon workstations.

Try and configure one.

I set up workstations for diagnostic medical systems and video editors.

Some doctors still have 2009 mac pro's at home. Run mavericks just fine
and handle the work load. The hospital has had to replace all their dell precision
workstations that were the same age as they couldn't handle windows 7 demands
plus the imaging. The only upgrade I have done to the mac pro's is SSD boot. The hospital tried
it on the Dells and it didn't help.

The vaderPod's have replaced earlier mac pro's (2006 to 2008). Are silent and now sit on
top of the desk since they take up so little room.

I use nearly every version of mac that comes out in my work including the new "VaderPod". Wish I could have kept it.

My issue is that he wants new price for old hardware that many may not understand can not be upgraded. (Yes owc does sell SSD's for that model).

He does admit the "potential" ram issue but brush's if off and does not state that it can not be easily replaced. Many will assume pull a simm put in a new one
not "replace/exchange the main board".

The speed difference between ivy bridge and haswell retinae is significant. I know, I have used multiple version's of both types.

There are escrow people on here with high Trust Ratings.

They are not going to rip someone off over 4BTC Their trust ratings are worth way more than that.

Read the bitcoin escrow link. The escrow person can not "take" the coins.

Here's your exact model:

$1,300

on flea-bay with warranty and buyer protection !!

and from someone with a "Reputation" and established history!!

It is utterly amazing that you would even suggest that people trust your friend to verify your "SALE".

You are either that ignorant (meaning utter lack of comprehension) or that highly confident in your scam talk.

The Fox's friend says all the chickens are accounted for !

1) Im not interested in it. Even at $100. No warranty / Board issue.

2) Escrow uses a third party to insure the honesty of Buyer and Seller.

https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#escrow-and-arbitration

3) I and other's are trying to keep people from being ripped off when we spot highly suspicious WTS or group buy posts.

Not to mention that the memory issue is a killer. I bet it would fail memTest86 and you can't just pull a sim and replace as they are chips soldered to the MB.

I know all too well what flaky memory will do. Put cheap ram in a MBP several years back, had all kinds of intermin weird behavior. finally ran memtest86 in single user mode and
bam. errors like crazy even though apple diagnostic would pass. was OWC and they took back and allowed me to upgrade to best ram.

Had to restore from  backup (always make before any upgrade hard or soft) and had to diff against current to recover changes.

never again will buy bargain ram. Not worth the issue's it caused.

So highly risky even at $750 for example (even if it does get delivered).

$125 was so 4 weeks ago.

at 23,8 no ROI unless free power even at $75

You can't follow the suggestions and rules then go home and take your toys (scams) with you.

Were all tired of scams that won't list full specs/pics, don't take escrow, just joined, list old tech at new prices looking for a gullible noob to bite.

Scammers are leaving ebay and heading here as they can't scam on ebay with its new policy and paypal. Looking for noobs that
dont "grasp" that btc is final no take backs and that no one can help them recover btc lost to scams.

I looked, no where in the video do you associate your id/date here with the notebook. Would not be the first time a scammer hijacked
someone else's pictures/videos to scam a product.

No one is going to buy this without escrow.

Also the price is high as its 8gb which can not be upgraded.

A current (brand new) with 16gb, 2.2 with 256gb is 1999. BTC4.05 at current $495/BTC

You also get haswell vs ivy bridge (haswell has power nap and better performance/power spec's), faster SSD, better graphics, USB 3, 20gbs vs 10gps
thunderbolt plus a warranty.

You want current price for 2 year old tech. And no don't event mention installed adobe as Im sure you are not transferring the license even if it was legit.

You must hang around with the guy that wants $255 for an ant miner S1.

 

Why not just drop NMC until they get their act together or pick another alt coin that can be merge mined ?

Yep, as predicted.
Asciminer strikes again.

As said above, you registered yesterday.
You are not posting any pictures and won't use escrow.
You are wanting the same price as new equipment for something 2 years old.

You hate ebay. (probably because of the new "guarantee" )

it certainly smell's like scammer.

Ill take 1.

MD/USA for shipping.

Also interested in the PCIe cables if you have a good source.

Thanks

Kingston is known for bad stuff:

I paid top BTC for a lemon cube.

They should stick to making chips

Ill pass

edit --

Im not faulting you Canary. A lot of buyers of those
cubes got ones that would not hash high. Arrived as a puzzle you
had to pull apart and reassemble. Or like mine, all of the above
plus had to be restarted every 10 days until it just stopped working at all.

To reiterate:

bfgminer - needs driver

cgminer - no driver - in fact if you have loaded them you need to disable or unload them.

I would not depend on a used laptop drive. They are by their nature abused!!  stuffed into bags, banged around vehicles or luggage etc.
Run hot with poor cooling!! Its like buying used vehicles from utility companies. They only get rid of them when they are on deaths door.

http://newegg.com - you can find plenty of drives around $50. stick to western digital or seagate. shipping free.

I am a tech. People only remember how valuable and irreplaceable their data is after it is gone!!

Read the links in the first post. Then https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=723233.0 Their so called
auction where they keep changing the terms and jerking around the winners.

This is recent.
