If all of your copies of operating systems and software are legit, I'm really curious as to why you would take such a big hit on that. There are software suites that total in the thousands that I could get for free? I don't buy it. You're either offering pirated versions that have been cracked OR you're taking one hell of a loss.

Corporate licenses.
I bought corporate software to install on multiple machines. Each vendor (Microsoft and Adobe for example) have different EULA for corporate licenses and as such, I can install them up to certain number of computers. I have many licenses available thru a sub-contractor for legal serial numbers and trial software. The trial software (if anyone requests it) is available for purchase thru the sub-contractor at less than wholesale prices. So in reality, there is no "hit" on the software since the software is already paid for and the only "hit" I am taking is a little of the hardware cost AND my time installing all of it (hardware and software)...plus the power consumption during the burn-in.

It's kinda weird that people get kinda jumpy when someone tries to NOT rip them off.
Maybe I should sell it for $1500 and keep the suspision down.

My apologies for not knowing you personally. You very well could be ripping people off by providing them with something that they'll get the shaft on later down the road. Also, I figured I would ask the question not only for my own curiosity, but to help keep your thread open since the last one was closed for the reason I asked.

Austin Texas is where I am at.
I have many refrences from Austin Fbody (AFBforums.com).
What do you mean by "complete"? Did you mean CPU, keyboard, mouse and monitor? The parts I listed are the parts that are currently inside the CPU tower and ready for software. I do have many mice and keyboards and monitors but I am not selling them with the system at the current price. If you need any additional items, I can add them at cost (no upcharge for Fbody members). If you go to newegg or anyother website that sells these parts and look at their prices, you will see that $900 for this system is WAYYY under the individual combined prices.
Dell has a similar (slower CPU than mine) system and lists theirs for $1600 (before taxes and shipping).
If anyone wants any additional parts or upgrade any parts, I will do so at the cost difference. Example: You want a $300 video card instead of the $75 video card. The price goes up only $225.

No offense taken.
It's just the last thread was locked without anyone even asking me if the software was legit and that action got me on edge.

That is a nice price for that system. If I had the money I would take it off your hands. If you still have it around the middle of next month hit me up.

6. Seller harassment is not tolerated. People that reply in threads to cause intentional harm to the sale, or troll and make immature comments could be removed from the site. Beating people down about pricing is uncalled for

Processor - $179.99
motherboard - $68.99
RAM - $91.99
Video Card - $74.99
PowerSupply - $99.99
HardDrive (not on newegg) - $109.99
Case - $119.99
CPU FAN - $26.99
All that adds up to $772.92...everything but the harddrive came from NewEgg prices. Now add shipping. Now add software (XP or Vista) and Office 2007. Now you are way over the $900 mark.
So tell me, son....how can you build the same machine for cheaper???

Sounds to me like you're trying to run a side business of building/selling computers on here w/o sponsoring.

I'll let you respond before locking this thread.

Fair enough - with your talk of distributors and such, it gave the appearance of you being a systems builder.

Thanks for the explanation!
