Having built myself a brand new PC in the previous months to cope with some fairly power hungry video editing software, I was left with a number of perfectly serviceable parts with which to build a very capable second desktop/tower PC that would make an ideal and cheap replacement for anyone looking for a good solid set-up As I have built over 8 desktop/tower PCs over the years, rather like my bike projects, if you have seen my threads you will know that I don't do things by halves, so if you were to buy this PC, you would be getting a very nice example. I will list the spec as I go along with plenty of pics as well. I can arrange to have the whole thing shipped to you (UK only) but I would strongly advise collection if possible, as it is not only cheaper but there is less chance of anything getting damaged. The PC will come with an ACER monitor (this uses a VGA cable which is included to get you going) but I am also including the cable to plug directly into the GPU graphics card, which will support an HDMI monitor if you have one and would prefer to use that as opposed to the on board graphics. Also included are a pair of speakers, all the necessary power cables, the on board WiFi antenna, keyboard and mouse. The system comes with Windows 11, pre-installed. You just have to complete the personalized setup when you first power the system up. I am asking £250 for the whole lot, which considering the actual case is new (a Fractal Define 7 worth over £150) I think this is a fair price. If you are interested then please send me a PM. I am more than happy to demonstrate the PC working should you wish to collect it in person.
Here is the spec list and parts included in the sale 1 x Fractal Define 7 case (brand new). This case is highly configurable, so if you choose to upgrade any of the internal parts at a later date, it can easily be converted to your needs, whether you want to install water cooling, additional addressable RGB LED fans, convert the whole set up into a server with multiple HDD bays, the choice is endless.

Need this gone as I just don't have the space to keep it any longer after we replaced the shed with a smaller one and it is currently sitting in the garage, along with everything else that needs to be somehowe shoe-horned in, so happy to drop down from £250 to £200 for the whole lot. It a great bit of kit with more memory than you will ever need or you could just run it as a server or fit different internals, water cooling, RGB fans or whatever. It's as mentioned a Windows 11, turn key package, just needs plugging in. PM me if you are interested.
Blimey.. most of the stuff you have listed goes way over my head - am tempted but realistically will probably be gone before I make up my mind. (GLWS)
