I have some hardware available. It is not cutting edge hardware by any means but for the package price of 330.00 it will offer someone an excellent little system which runs FS9 great.

You will need an ATX tower and disk drives (not included), however the power supply is included below...

1 - K7N2 Delta2 Platinum Motherboard (retail between 70.00 - 90.00 USD)

Nice system Nick N.

I never got to get a 3200+ on my nForce2 Ultra 400 board, that thing must fly! The CPU and memory speeds are definitely still top end. That CPU is the same stock speed as my current high end San Diego processor.

Most people don't realise that the full potential of 32bit computing on a system like this rivals current high end systems in applications such as FS9.

The nForce2 Ultra 400, 3200+ CPU, 1gb ram combo makes all the upgrading in the last year or two look silly. They could have lasted until now easily if not for all the hype about 64bit, which to this day, hasn't eventuated.

And that mainboard! A really nice bit of kit.

Firewire support Serial ATA , Gigabit LAN, 8 USB ports, serial and parallel ports, decent 5.1 sound and more.

Plus, all the heatsinks and improvements you made to this system Nick, Wow!

Someone is going to get a nice cheap system.

This would suit someone who currently is struggling with FS9 on an old rig and can't afford to spend a lot on the latest gear. The latest gear may be outdated in a year anyway!

Its actually been boxed for about 1-2 years. I pulled it out of the closet, blew out the dust and fired it up for testing to make sure everything still works. It ran perfect.

That rig does fly.... although it works fine, the only part that could stand an upgrade based on todays technology is the video card. But even so, someone going from an older system to the above for under 350 bucks is a deal!

Nice hardware,and nice price!!

I would have bought your system around 3 months ago definately, but now im looking for an upgrade i dont need to.

Good luck.

The PSU looks good...I might think about that
