Buying a computer used, off of Craig'sList? With picture!!

I've been thinking about getting a desktop for a while now and saw this on craigslist for $450. I'll have to ask for the full specs but this seems like a pretty good? Was also wondering what sort of tests I can have the guy do to make sure the computer isn't just about to crap out. Any ideas?

AMD phemon 6 core
EVGA 560 GTX FTW (3 year warranty from EVGA)
8GB g-skill Gaming Ram
500GB Hard drive
DVD-rw
DVD-rom
Custom case with lights and 4 Fans
Razor Diamond back Gaming Mouse
2.1 Speakers with sub
Key board
22' 3D Screen
Custom case with Temp gauge

Thats amazing for $450:shock:

That is f***ing insane!

ok guess i should jump on it. But isn't it too good to be true? I just feel like something must be wrong with it for it to go so cheap with a monitor too.

This is an amazing deal. Definetely go take a look at it!

prime95, unigine, check temps in BIOS

Thanks I'm going to check it out tomorrow. Hopefully I'm not kidnapped and murdered.brandon2802

nice one I should look at my local craigslist after seeing something like that :D.

The hilarious thing is I was gonna start a new build, saw this post and looked at craigslist and found one for sale. Hope yours turns out well.

make sure you bring a concealed weapon just in case he tries to rob you.Elann2008

good advice.

Personally, I would never buy a used PC. You never know what's truly wrong with it, or if there's anything wrong with it at all. Since it's Craiglist and it's going to be local pickup.. test it out first. But make sure you bring a concealed weapon just in case he tries to rob you.Elann2008

I got some good deals from craigslist/kijiji in the past, like a used 460 gtx for $100 when they were selling in stores for about $170, and a radeon 6950 2gb for $230 when it was selling for $300 in stores. the only reason ur computer is cheap is because of the cpu, which is an AMD. AMD cpus are relatively crappy compared to intel, so where u got a discount
