Question by
rattle(new): Dear
datka98, you have already won my confidence with this fast
reply to my question. I would really like to know when and how
much. If I may, I have another question; does overclocking
have adverse effects on stability of the system or the
longevity of the system? Do you provide service and guaranty?

Answer
: Dear rattle thank you very much for your
interest.
I will try to answer your second question
first:
Yes if overclocking is done wrong way, it can
not only “have adverse effects”, but it can burn your system
in whole and create a fire! Same about further consequences of
stability and life time of CPU and other overclocked elements.
But if to know how to do it correctly, then all this
problems will disappear. Generally CPUs have around 10-13
years of life time. In case of proper overclocking CPU
life-time will reduce till 5-8 years. I can tell you that
whatever tough IT equipment you buy today - after 5 years it
will be an old peace of junk. And this is not coz of CPU or
anything else will stop working. Just because every day IT
industry is progressing very rapidly, and what ever you buy
today, after 5 years it will become morally old by
specifications. And you will start to look for a way to invest
again for upgrading or replacing your system.
Regarding
stability: Systems I have overclocked are passing very
heavy tests. Until they don’t pass all tests, I just don’t
publish them for sale. For this particular system on this page
I give 100% parts replacement warranty till November 01. But
you will not have any requirement in this, since all
problematic parts are eliminated and are already replaced by
good ones. Still my 1 year warranty is actual.
Now
your first question: This is very unusual inquiry, and it
is a very expensive. Only E6800 CPU is around AED 4.4K. Add
to it good mother board, High speed RAM + Dual 1GB NVIDIA
GeForce, Good casing PSU water cooler etc … Totally it will
come AED 12-15K. Accordingly I am not sure how serious you
are. Are you going to spend around 15K only for gaming? And
what if I invest from my pocket, assemble and tune it, and
after all this you will change your mind? There is not too
much customers who should spend that much for PC. I will not
be able to sell it afterwards. And I don’t want to risk.

Question by
padawanjp(new): hi
datka98, im a gamer and im interested about this gaming rig of
yours and even the previous ones you've made. im new to
souq.com and this is my first bid. just a few questions i have
in mind though: sounds like this baby is really hot especially
when i saw your overclock specs, so is the cooling system
stock or did you modify it? second, can you be more specific
regarding the warranty coverage? do you offer testing period
like - will i still be able to return it if I find something
defective or if it doesn't meet my expectation? coz im very
picky with regards to tests and perfomance. thanks. |

Answer
: Hi padawanip Thank you for interest. Cooling
system is well “enforced” by me, but still stock. That’s why
my PC is cheap. You will not need to add anything. CPU
never reaches 56 degrees by C (in my house). But if you
wont I can put Zalman cooler – for additional payment, Or
water cooling for more additional payment.. Honestly - you
don’t need to overpay for unnecessary things. Everything is
tested and works perfectly.
Warranty: 1 year parts
replacement warranty. Any part goes wrong – I will replace
that part free till Nov 07. Like in a normal computer shop.
But nothing can go wrong, (until you don’t drop it from the
3rd floor) everything is tested on highest level. Don’t worry
I did not have any complains till now. And all that PCs are
sold. Some customers are so happy that they buy twice from me.
Still - I will replace failed parts during 1
year.
Testing period: You can test it before you
take it. You can read in the feedback about me how I support
my products. Performance: It is as I declared in my
item description: 3DMARK results – is a best way to judge any
gaming system. And I am very picky in quality of my
products.

Question by
padawanjp(new): datka98,
the
$$$ is quite too high for me, though again it certainly speaks
for the system specs no doubt. any chance you can bring it
down to a reasonable level? as dual-core machines are out and
pentium-D based systems should be on the low-end pricing
category. |
November 11, 2006
- 13:55 |
|
Answer
: Dear padawanjp First of all for your information:
Pentium-D is a Dual-Core CPU. That’s why the D stands for.
It’s working name is “Presler”. Don’t mix it with CORE 2 DUO
CPU – who’s price with almost same frequency is double times
higher. And the same gaming performance you will not get that
high with same budget based on CORE 2 DUO. You will need
further investments into “super good” motherboard and 1024 MHz
RAM That will increase price of same specifications PC almost
double. See my answer to “rattle” in the same Q&A.
Accordingly this particular configuration has best
Price/Performance ratio today. You can find same configuration
in the market today AED 1 hundred or 2 hundred cheaper, but
specifications will be lower coz of lower components, and w/o
possibility of overclocking respectively (Not everything can
be overclocked).

much do you expect? |
November 12, 2006

Answer
: See your E-mail for reserve. You can also have
idea of price by visiting my closed auctions for similar
configurations. All of closed ones are sold. Good luck in
bidding.

Answer
:
Dear azer61 and padawanjp. Thank you very
much for your placed bids. Please note that out of my 2
auctions only 1 left. And other similar one is already sold
outside of Souq. Only 1 PC left. First person who reaches my
price will get it. If I get similar offer from outside, I will
sell this outside also, and close this Auction w/o a winner. I
did the same in item number (2)(1)(1)(8)(7)(4)(3) - it was
closed w/o winner since was sold out of Souq. Amount that you
have bid doesn’t cover even parts price. Add to it 5% to Souq
and my labor. You will get calculation of my reserve price
exactly. So, good luck in your bidding.
