Any old parts for sale?

[Cpl.Anger]

So, among the destruction of most of my old pc's, it turns out I don't have a lot of parts that work anymore. Thought it might be worth a shot putting this up to see if any of you have some old parts lying around.

I need a new motherboard and graphics card.
I've got plenty of IDE drives that work fine but all my old AGP cards are shagged.
Would be willing to buy stuff of people from anywhere.
I just don't wanna be buying second hand parts off eBay, never have any luck with it.

So if anyone has just got up to date with their parts and doesn't need their old parts, let me know please.

I'm actually trying to sell my old rig atm, but I'd prefer to sell it all, not just parts:

CPU: Intel Core2Duo E8400 2*3GHz
CPU-cooler: Artic Cooling Freezer Pro 7
Mainboard: ASUS P5E inkl. onboard sound
RAM: 3*2GB Corsair Vengeance DHX XMS2 (a 4th stick which has errors is included, you should be able to replace it as Corsair has a lifetime warranty)
HD: Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB, Western Digital 500GB, Samsung 250GB (all SATA, 7200rpm)
GPU: Gainward nVidia GTX260 896MB
Case: Enermax Chakra incl. case fans
PSU: beQuiet straight power 500W
Sony DVD-burner 48x/16x

This runs BF3 at low to mid depending on resolution. I had a ATI 5850 but gave it to my buddy and put his GTX260 in.

2 issues though:
* shipping would be quite a lot from Austria to the UK
* I prefer to sell to people I do not know; while the rig worked fine for me, if something should indeed break I'd rather not feel guilty about it.

That sounds a bit expensive already man. Especially as a whole machine. Thanks though dude.

P&P might not be as much as you think, I'd check it out before you write that idea off. The cost is mostly import duties rather than weight. I sent a package to a buddy if mine in Iceland, its was £47 for 6KG. I could have sent 20KG for the same price but I didn't realise until I asked.

Just checked, 15kg (the case is 11kg apparently, so that might come close) insured to GB costs 33€.

We might have something as I just upgraded my computer, though I know the old processor doesnt run BF3 it runs most other things. Will have a natter to firebubble and get back to you!

Pentium D 3.6 ghz with a nice DDR2 full AMX board that does have an IDE connection as well as SATA for those hard drives you've got. Also comes with 2gb of nice DDR2 RAM, Corsair sticks for OC'n. PCI-E Board, though.

Don't have a spare video card as i just parted with it a few weeks ago, but you can have everything else if you're willing to pay for shipping.

Man that sounds like a winner. How much would it cost you think?
I'd happily take it off your hands if it's not to much to get it here.

I'll have him box the parts up and see how much it weighs/measures and that'll give us a better idea of how much its gonna cost
