Yeah but I also don't like to see people overpay for things....

Just stating my thoughts-no offense meant. If someone buys it, all the power to you but still, fair is fair :)

Happy Friday!


Oh, no offense taken at all, just pointing out what goes on there. If you wanna buy on Ebay, just be smart about it, and don't get carried away just to win an auction. You may end up paying more that you bargained for. Buyer beware. And buyer be smart.

I agree. Determine the max you are prepared to bid up front, and stick to it. Use an auto bid program which steals the bidding in the last 30 seconds - but again, set a maximum which is realistic for you.

Hello? Has anyone even looked at that box. Do a search on the case alone - Armor VA8000SWA! I'm seeing new prices of $160-$220. The guy buying this outfit at $405 is stealing it.

Here in Germany I saw prices (only this case) between €125 and €225 -- and this on a page with the top 30 lowest prizes! Phew... Then processor, RAM etc yadda yadda...

I suppose anything below €750 is a bargain.

Yes it is a steal, (I would have bid $600 already if I had the extra dough) if it performs like its supposed to. Sorry to be cynical, but I've been burned before- Just because it has 12 cylinders, doesn't mean it's running on all of them.
I demand a refund. Oh wait, I didn't pay to join,

Yes, but if the hardware is there, the configuration could be played with.

Just read the listing more carefully- If I read it right, the processors and memory are not included! Of course I could be wrong, been up most of the night trying to fix mine.

At the top of the listing, it has that it has a P4 HT 3.2GHz, 1024MB RAM, 300GB hard drive. So it comes with that. :-)
