The state of selling off the oldies, July 2024

This might be a regular thing to post, here we are in the seventh month of the year and the specifications of the machines that I am building to sell on Marketplace are increasing to the point when I am sad to see them go, this one is no exception.


 It is a seventh generation intel, an i7-7700 which is a four core, eight thread processor.

Fractal Design, mid tower ATX. 2 fans with an EVGA 500W 80 Plus power supply, MSI B250M Pro VDH Motherboard, Intel i7-7700 CPU 3.60 GHz, Adata 16GB DDR4 RAM single stick, SSD 256GB M.2 NVMe PCIe Boot Drive, HDD 500GB Data Drive, MSI NVIDIA GTX 1060 GPU 6GB HDMI, 2.4GHz WiFi card with blade antenna and a Lenovo Keyboard and Mouse.

Fresh Windows 10 Pro Activated, Reset, fully updated with all drivers installed. $340

A year ago I would have been buzzed to have this as my gaming machine, and it is true, it is a most powerful machine, but the one thing that is making me sell is that it is not Windows 11 compatible, based on Microsofts recommendations, sure, it can run Windows 11, many are hacking the OS to do that, but that means that Microsoft may not update the security features.

The machines that myself and my primary IT Client (the missus) are running are Windows 11 ready, and perhaps six months before the fourteenth of October next year, we will both be running it. I am sure that will be a blog all to itself as I have not heard great things about Windows 11, however, I did not hear great things about Windows 10 either, but that sort of settled out all right over time.

This machine ended up selling for $250
