    Would never criticize someones ad on adverts. its their ad even if it was wrong I wouldnt try ruin a potential sale , but I saw this and It cant be unseen ...and I know you have to add the Adverts tax .I have done this with everthing I sell but you have to be open to real world offers ...600 asking bit too much tax added to cover the low ball offers

    the pictures show a kink in the loop right off the CPU , actually 2 kinks . if you took the pictures you could see them clearly ..FIX THEM

    The Rad is Cable tied to the psu ...so your kinda just sucking in hot air into the PSU .

    why put in a loop and just throw the PSU wires across everything , its a see through case ...everything needs to be neat

    The CPU is old but k series so some life left in it for certain games .
    GFX card below 2GB ...limits a lot of stuff
    No issue with Ram that could be doubled handy enough if needed

    would it not have been better to just split this or even rebuild neater and ask for 300 , they might get 225

    sorry silly rant from me but it is bad, If the seller is on here I am sorry but its bad really bad .

    Haha, this again. I think it was mentioned before in the off-topic thread. It's pretty bad, but one look should probably put off the vast majority of people. It has been up for 5 months for a reason.

    sorry did not see it in the off topic thread .mods can delete thread if they want , I typed out my annoyance so I feel better and have Moved on :D

    It's fúcking hideous.

    Yeah that was mentioned before, it's horrendous, and terribly put together, it's been for sale for ages and if I'm not mistaken the price was originally even worse of a piss take, like €1K or something?

    Even a blind person would be offended by feeling that case and layout.

    They'd be quite lucky to get €250 at this point.

    Aye, my first thoughts, it takes a special skill to build something that offensive to the eye.

    Might be this "item" is for sale as piece of art? And sentimental value is high...


    Art comes in various forms and shapes....


    Could be one sort of Abstract art samples.:D

    "Abstract Art "Ah now thats just reaching ..........
    is the green wire , braided green cable or is just a UV string thrown in for S and Giggles

    Kinda wanted to offer €60 and at least just tidy it up . it hurts and offends my eyes ( so im not over what I saw )


    and someone just commented on the ad saying what I was thinking

    I'm glad you have sense of humor and catch my drift:

    After this "art" you never look at custom build same way as before.
    :D

    People are offering a ps4 and bits for it, I suppose if you say anything it's considered thread spoiling

    My eyes hurt a little after looking at it, I wish I could unsee it

    Maybe one of those "social experiment" type gigs then as if its real, that monstrosity is so far beyond even the worst RGB nightmare, it really needs to be nuked from orbit.
