Last December I purchased one of Mike 4sale systems - either #3 or #4 (which are identical in terms of specs) in the OP, and it served me well as a base for my Mlucas-to-AVX code port, until I swapped out the mobo/cpu for my new Haswell guts in June. I was originally contemplating embarking on a 2-mobos-in-1-ATX-case experiment, but have since decided that a GPU on top of the Haswell system is a better use of my time and ATX-case real estate than the 2 mobos-in-1-case idea.

Back in June George did a cost/benefit analysis and offered me $150 for the Asus-mobo/SB-cpu combo, but has since noted that a 2nd budget-minded Haswell-based system for him would yield a tad more bang-for-$, especially as he would have no use for the 16 GB RAM that come with the above system. So I am offering it on a first-come-first-served basis here at $150, and offering free shipping to anyplace in the US where USPS offers their priority mail flat-rate service. [this will ship in the flatter-aspect-ratio of the 2 distinct medium-sized boxes].

Couple added notes on top of the details Mike provided in the OP [thx 2 George for the mobo/ram non-OC-able details]:

1. 1333 is the max memory speed for this CPU/mobo combination;

2. This CPU/mobo combination cannot be overclocked (on the +side the stock cooler works fine here);

3. I will throw in a brand new stock cooler taken from a Haswell system [these stock coolers are xchgable with SB systems], in fact from George's Haswell system, so "it has been in celebrity hands" (but not out of celebrity box), woo woo! :)

PM me if you're interested,

If I told you it was, would you pretend to believe me?

I'd be happy to deduct the domestic-US shipping cost from the actual cost to ship to Canuckistan ... let me know roughly where you are and I can provide you a quote, once I get a chance to assemble the pkg and weigh it.

Petrw1 where in Saskatchewan are you?

Just weighed/priced the bundle on usps.com - cheapest option to Canada is 1sy class intl, $21.75 - so figure a $10 surcharge on top of he $150 price-within-US.

Sorry for not noticing that we are almost neighbors

Underestimated the weight of the outermost box, which needs to be decently crush-resistant - that and the bubble-wrap and misc. filler adds ~16oz.

Thus, shipping surcharge to Canada is actually $15.

Bait n Switch Ewmayer?
