I sold it for a check for $400 today. Gonna cash it at the bank tomorrow.

I've never done business on this site. If I were to, after no bids on craigslist. I guess I log in and ask for $400...

Only so much I can fit in the title. I posted the actual specs in the post.

I posted it at $500 and 4.5GHz in the title. Maybe I'll get a quick buy.

I tried merging the SSD as cache with the HDD. But it seems difficult, and fully capable with Ivy Bridge. But I have Sandy Bridge.

Aside from the Crucial SSD and lack of PCI 3.0, I honestly don't see these parts as outdated or soon to be outdated. I've had it for 6 months. I don't see much difference between new and used, since there is no noticeable difference.

Parts cost $550. I'll start at $600, and hope to get $500 ??

I'm just surprised at the current speculated worth.

I'd have to add some $100 GPU to make it complete? If I was selling on this site, I could understand these prices. But to people who don't build a PC, I figure someone would be estatic about 4.5GHz.

:(

I have a saved wishlist from newegg. Havin a hard time making it public, and figuring out how to link it here. http://valid.canardpc.com/2619234 Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit Intel Core i5 2500k 3.3/3.7 GHz, easy overclock to 4.5 GHz, HD 2000, 850 MHz GPU, 32 nm Z68 Sandy Bridge Motherboard...

Welp, my HDD is crap anyhow,high pitch noise. Gonna just use the SSD for my OS and apps, and my 3TB hard drive for media. I would have liked to have verified acceleration mode with Intel's Smart Response Tech (Intel Rapid Storage Tech), but I guess I'll do without it. I know they will begin...

Anyone else have this problem? I'm running RAID 0. SSD/HDD. updated the drivers and installed proper software. Any chance Intel just made acceleration automatic? http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2224555
