Hey guys... this is something I saw on eBay. I don't know if its against the rules to post eBay links.. If it is then I apologise in advance. :P

The link to the computer on eBay.

AMD Sempron 3000+

Gigabyte Motherboard

1GB DDR PC3200 400MHz RAM

128 ATI Radeon 9250 Video Card

550W Power Supply and Case

Samsung 16x Dual Layer DVD-RW

Maxtor 80GB HDD 7200rpm

Gigabyte Keyboard and Mouse

Is it worth it?

Thanks.

without looking it up, that system sounds almost exactly like the 'value' premade comps they sell on msy.com.au, all generic parts and about $300ish.

Anyway I'd be asking if u can pick it up in person, before bidding on it.

Hi there,

I couldn't find anything that sounds like this one. I checked the website you gave and the only value computer there has less stuff. The value one has onboard graphics, 256MB memory and no DVD burner. It says the dvd burner costs 60 dollars more and it doesn't have the option to let you put 1GB. It also doesn't have the option to let you put a graphics card on it.

Could you help?

I think they've changed the list since I last looked at it, they used to have o/s included and different systems slightly. Asus m/bs are better than Gigabyte anyhow. I'm about 98% sure they used to have Gigabyte m/boards in their cheap systems.

Anyway you can use it for a price comparison at least.

Dual layer burners cost about $60 outright atm, of course d/l discs are still about $4-7 depending on quantity (single/l you can get about 50 for $25).

Ram is about $50 for 512mb.

Anyway this is all beside the point if he's a dodgy seller and just trying to rip people off :ban:

I'd still be asking if you can pick it up in person.

And I wouldn't bid over $300odd for it as for not much more you could get it from a reputable shop with a 12month warranty.

Good luck! :wacko:

    • Massive ups for MTHire also. Could not have done the subframe bushings job without hiring the tool from them. Process was super easy and cost me around 25% of the cost of the tool. If you need a one-time tool to do something, check them out. (Paid for the rental myself, no sponsorship here.)  
    • I'd suggest calling Unigroup, they have a lot of experience with these, access to reliable fabricators etc. Of course it will cost but at least you can trust what they tell you
    • The switch part, is the switch you use to turn the lights on and off in the car.   The test I had was to determine where in the line it is, but on a quick rethink, if it's only blowing when you turn the switch on, then it's the wire from the switch, to the headlight that's got the short. Now it's a case as GTS said, of physically finding the fault. The fault could be:  metal has broken through the loom. Known as a rub through. Places to check: anywhere the wiring has been messed with in the car, particularly firewall grommets if extra cables have been passed through. Check the inner guard linings, you might be rubbing through with a wheel, particularly if the vehicle has been lowered. Also check for anywhere there could be high heat, especially if heat shields are missing. Double check any wiring at the head unit too if someone has messed with the headlight wiring to pick up a feed to dim the headlight at night. You could also just have really old cabling that is literally falling apart, though, this is more likely in Euros than in an old Nissan in my experience.
    • Yeah. I usually go by the torque specs. I forgot that Nissan recommends 1386b sealant on that thread, still can buy it on ebay actually.
    • Umm.... He attached it to his 2021 update post. Don't need the link. It is stored on the forum.
