So I built a small HTPC / Gaming rig to use with my TV and to use for Travel Lan Parties a while ago. It didnt end up getting much use, and it has now been replaced by an Xbox One. It needs a good home and runs most games at medium to high settings at 1080p

Cooler Master Elite 130 Case

MSI FM2-A75IA-E53 - Motherboard w/built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

AMD A10-6800k Richland CPU 4.1Ghz

Corsair 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 CL9

MSI Radeon R9-270 2GB Graphics Card

MTEC 240GB Power+ Solid State Drive (C: for Windows + games)

Kingwin Modular Xtreme 600 Watt Power Supply

Thermaltake Performer Liquid Cooler

500 GB 7200 RPM Seagate? Hard Drive (D: Media storage)

Blu-Ray Drive

300 Mbps USB Wifi adapter (the onboard Wi-Fi kind of sucks)

Wired (and some what beat up) Xbox 360 controller in white

Old HP/Microsoft Media Remote

Windows 10 Pro

$360 Bucks takes it. (Shipped to lower 48 states, located in SE Michigan for local pick up) Just the Graphics card is going for $164 on Newegg currently. Email !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! if you’re interested.

Wish I had the cash, I’d love to have it. Once I get that kind of money, it’s going to Montego tires.

If you’d posted this in December when I make the big holiday bucks I’d be emailing you.

That’s not a bad price, but I’m all set with HTPC and Desktop duties. I hope someone else bites.

Wow, that’s a nice one. I’ve been thinking that, when I replace my old computer in the spring, to get an NAS box and an HTPC, but now...

...now when you say it’s been “replaced by an xbox one” I’m not so sure I should get an HTPC.

I think I know the answer, but why did you decide to switch to having the xbox be the HTPC?

Mostly ease of use. The Xbox is always on and the interface is better for the HT/gaming purposes. Plus Forza 6. I have a nice gaming rig so all my pc only gaming is done there.

Oh, I wished I could spring for this. My gaming rig is just a bit too much and I need to downsize. It’s in the same old Antec case I’ve used for at least a decade and weighs a frigging ton. During winter I can’t run it and a space heater at the same time or I’ll trip a breaker, but on the flip side it puts out so much heat that I really don’t need the heater...
