Edit: liberated by tek-monkey, all gone.

I have an old computer that I don't want any more. The computer was used for many years but has been in storage for the last 18 months, therefore it is very dusty and I can't provide any guarantees that it works, however as far as I remember it worked, the computer was retired in favour of a different machine.

The computer does not have any hard drives. This computer case is also quite yellowed, because it is white plastic and was kept in direct sunlight. The computer is quite heavy. No monitor, mouse, or keyboard included. Presumably it'd be better off to use for spare parts or something but I imagine with the addition of a hard drive it could become a fully usable computer once again.

Specification:

1 x Coolermaster Silent Pro 1000W Modular PSU
1 x Zalman CNPS10X QUIET Socket Ultra-Quiet CPU Cooler
1 x Asus P6X58D-E X58 Socket 1366 Gigabit Lan Triple PCI-E 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
1 x NZXT Phantom White Full Tower Case
2 x Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz XMS3 Triple Channel i7 Memory Kit CL8 1.65V (12GB RAM)
1 x Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz Socket 1366 8MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
1 x PowerColor HD 6970 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI Dual Mini DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card
1 x Asus External Slim DVD-RW SDRW-08D2S-U

I'd like this gone asap. Free to whoever can collect this weekend. Collection only from the Stafford Box building just off the Marston Road. Please PM me or reply here if you'd like to collect it, will update this post once it's accounted for.

Any idea what the power consumption is? This would make a beast of a plex server, I may well be interested. Just gonna Google the consumption.

Actually I'll take it regardless if that's OK, too power hungry for plex but I have another use for it :)

I'm here til 6pm today, then I'll be back about 8pm today, then the same again tomorrow. I can meet you in the car park on Shepherds Bush Street (there's a long white fence that runs along most of the road, entrance is in the middle of that fence).

Sure, that works! The pedestrian entrance to the building is on Shepherds Bush Street, just before the car park, my apartment is 3C, if you buzz that I'll come down.

No, thank you for donating it! Its not far off my own home PC TBH, like you I pretty much stopped gaming. It will make a great office PC though for my OH, will work a treat for photo editing and similar. May re-box it into a smaller case and swap the graphics card out, but it'll do the job. Thanks again :)
