tawny sparrow Apr 30, 2025, 11:24 AM

#

why not

#

Go on eBay ?

#

buy a used one

shadow agate Apr 30, 2025, 11:24 AM

#

problem is that here they dont sell used ones

#

cuz salaries here are around 600e

#

so its way out of budget for most people

tawny sparrow Apr 30, 2025, 11:25 AM

#

Austria ?

shadow agate Apr 30, 2025, 11:25 AM

#

#

shadow agate Apr 30, 2025, 11:27 AM

#

tawny sparrow Apr 30, 2025, 11:27 AM

#

5 year warranty

shadow agate Apr 30, 2025, 11:27 AM

#

hopefully doesnt sell out lol

tawny sparrow Apr 30, 2025, 11:27 AM

#

on eBay it was 300

#

But is wasting 45 less

#

Worth no warranty

#

@shadow agate

#

What if u order it on eBay

#

Like other country

#

Like Germany or France or uk store

#

And have them ship it to Austria

shadow agate Apr 30, 2025, 11:32 AM

#

not rly lol

#

but these ones im finding are used at 350e in austria

#

cant really fuck up with cpu damage, easy to check due to pins

#

would be the same

#

is a bit cheaper bit due to ship fee would be the same

tawny sparrow Apr 30, 2025, 11:41 AM

#

just buy it

#

make sure tho

#

U buy a good motherboard

#

Because most people buy the cheapest one

#

And wonder why there’s non

#

WiFi

#

Bluetooth etc

shadow agate Apr 30, 2025, 11:47 AM

#

Dont really need bluetooth or wifi

#

since internet router is always on my pc
