Thread: Demon is WTB!

I bought a computer from cyberpower through new egg and it turned out to be a very bad choice. I've RMA'd it more than 8 times, they keep sending me more defective parts. The PSU kept going out so I bought one, then evrytime the videocard would go out so I put my own in there, now the mobo is fried. So i put the video card into my old dell and even though it lacks the min. requirements to play BF3, it plays it barely, for about 10 minutes then CTD. I'm in between jobs right now, I have to wait on my background check to come back and then go do some saftey council stuff, so money is tight thats why I'm seeing if any of you have any used/spare parts I can get for a bargain. I have two choices I can upgrade my older dell, it needs DDR2 sticks and a compatible processor upgrade, also a heatsink and fan. Here is my old dells specs....

Processor:AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
Memory:2048MB RAM
Hard Drive:244 GB

Operation System:Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.120503-2030)


The other option is to replace the mobo out of my new pc, if you have any of this let me know please. here are my new pc specs....

They have seen use (bought in September) and worked perfectly; I don't use them anymore since I upgraded in September.

cool mobo

Get a new motherboard for the Cyber Power. An 1155 board should be easy to find around $100. It,would be much better purchase in terms of overall value..

I agree, but my only reservation is that the dell has been like a tank, I didn't even know what computer problems were until I got this new one.

No, a while back I tried to get my money back to build my own and newegg and cyber power made it very clear that all I can do is rma it to cyber power. I could make it faster and just rma the mobo to them but they hold money on my account because they send me the new mobo first but this is money I don't have for extra stuff right now.
