Well, I was going to build a gaming PC, so I bought half of the parts, then realized that since I'm going to a tech school next year and I'll be riding a bus for 2 hours a day, a laptop is more practical. So, nothing here has even been hooked up; my loss is your gain.

Opteron 144 Processor - still sealed in its original box, socket 939, CACJE, originally bought here (click for full stats) (http://www.pcconnection.com/ProductDetail?Sku=6224591). These things are known for being awesome overclockers.
Price: $155 shipped

Antec NeoHE 500w Modular Power Supply - comes with original box and all cables, originally bought here (http://www.pcconnection.com/ProductDetail?Sku=6095581). The modular (and pre-wrapped!) cables allow you to use only the ones you need, resulting in a cleaner looking PC and improved air flow to help keep your case cooler.
Price: $80 shipped

Aspire X-Discovery Computer Case - comes with original box and all the little screws and wires for the built-in USB ports, originally bought here (http://www.xoxide.com/aspire-x-discovery-black.html). I'll even include a free blue cold cathode light, wire management kit, and a UV reactive IDE cable.
Price: $55 shipped

250gig Seagate Hard Drive - comes with original plastic case and anti-static bag, and I'll include a free UV-reactive dual-device IDE cable. The plastic case was only opened to take out the label to try (and fail) to get mail-in rebate, originally bought here (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1265028&CatId=525).

Yes, that Opteron is great for overclocking, but you can only reach its maximum potential if you have the stuff to keep it cool!
Thermalright XP-90 Processor Heatsink - comes in original box with everything it came with, including Thermalright compound, originally bought here (http://www.xoxide.com/thermalright-xp-90-cpu-cooler.html). I'll even include a free tube of Arctic Silver compound. When I was choosing these parts, everyone recommended this heatsink. So, it should be pretty nice...
Price: $20 shipped
UFO 81.2-freaking-CFM 80-90mm Fan /w animated LEDs - comes in original packaging, originally bought here (http://www.pcconnection.com/ProductDetail?Sku=6257376). I actually have hooked this fan up to my current computer once, just because I wanted to see what a 81.2 CFM fan is like. I'll even include a free tube that connects this fan, when on your heatsink, directly to a case fan port so the hot air is shot straight out of your case instead of just circulating around in it.
Price: $16 shipped
Payment
-I send item(s) as soon as payment is recieved.
-I vastly prefer PayPal; it just makes everything faster and easier. As such, I'll cover the 3%.
-I can accept MO's, but I ask that you use signature verification to avoid arguments if it gets lost in the mail or something.
-The only trades I'll take are olive PM6's (I add) and 1gb mp3 players (I only need 1gb, and won't pay more for anything bigger). I'm not sure if I should even say laptops, since I've got a very specific configuration in mind to balance gaming power and battery life. Anything else will have to be worth enough that I can resell it for much more than what you trade it for, unless it really catches my eye.

Prices are pretty firm, as I'm taking off an average of about 20% off of stuff that hasn't even been powered up...
