PHINIX CUBE

[phinix]

As you guys know I started to plan my new project (Lian Li A05). I don't have funds to start it and after I asked couple of places for sponsorship, I didn't get any positive answer, so I decided to try and sell my Cube. It is hard, but there is no chance I could get more funds. Also, I cannot stop thinking about new project, I can't stop thinking about modding:) I need to do something!:)
So, here's the full hardware configuration what I'm selling with the Cube case:


- Core 2 Duo E8500 D0 + OCZ block + Bitspower compression fittings
- DFI P45 JR mobo
- GTX 280 + Aquagrafx G200 water block and Bitspower comp fittings
- 4GB Corsair Dominator RAM (2x2GB)
- HDD - 2.5 WD Black Scorpio 320GB
- PSU 600W OCZ Modular
- DVD-RW slim slot in drive
- radiator - feser 120.2 + 2x 120mm Noctua P12
- 18W DDC pump + XSPC top / res
- tubing - black XSPC


Case has HDD installed behind the pump, like it is showed on pics in my project log, but I will also add previous version of drive cage, where 120mm radiator is possible to be installed with regular 3.5" HDD.
I'm taking SSDs and my 850W PSU, will buy brand new 600W PSU as listed when someone will decide to buy it. I need this big PSU for next mod, unless someone willing to pay a bit more, I could leave it in.

Now the price... I'm not gonna even say how much I put in this project... All materials, services and all the small things, like aluminium, leds, cables, etc.
I counted how much is the actual hardware worth + about 50% of the money I paid for all materials and services. I do not included all my work, cause its hard to measure it. Normally I would have to add another ~ £500 to the price, but don't think that someone would pay that much. So, price for the Cube case, built and showed on photos in my project log and hardware listed above is £950. Now, how to deliver it? I would prefer to keep it built up like it is right now, cause I don't have any manual how to fold it from pieces:) I can deliver it myself in about 200km radius from Glasgow. For some additional amount I could deliver it to England as well, but buyer would have to cover my travel with the case both ways (train I believe would be the cheapest?).
So, let me know if anyone would like to buy it. Now, last thing - as a bonus, or gift, I can make a new acrylic name for it, - that clear strip with red acrylic letters "PHINIX CUBE" - I will make a new one, with any text you want, for free. Just to personalise the case for new owner. Ok.. I think that is it... Shoot, if you have any questions - best way is PM me. I hope Cube will find a new daddy:)
Thanks.

i've been checking and double checking my finances and options for weeks since that PM phinix. bad man.

i've got 2 of 3 options pulled in this month, and with the 3rd complete, i should have an extra £400 odd a month to spend, so if this is still around come october 1st, stay tuned

[phinix]

Hugh, if you serious, I will have to meet you in person:)

...and with that second thing you wanted, there will be a discount, specially for you ;-)
So, I'm staying tuned:-)

I forgot to mention, The Cube can be bought itself as well, watercooling parts are pretty much "pre-installed", that means that fat Feser 120.2 radiator is the biggest you can mount in it, so it will come with the case.
Basically, I can sell case and watercooling separated, without hardware, that means no mobo, pcu, gpu, ram, psu. I would prefer keep gpu block on the card, its nicely installed with perfect touch on chip and ram.
So case, radiator, pump, res, cpu block and two Noctua P12 fans can go for half of the price: £475. Just an option to consider.

One more thing - almost everything is still on warranty.

Price drop and new option:

* option 1: full system - £940
* option 2: Cube + watercooling (radiator, pump, res, cpu block and two Noctua P12 fans) - £465
* option 3: Cube itself - £350

Sooo tempting...

If I hadn't already what I need, I'd be buying this baby in a heartbeat !

Hugh, any news mate?

After I started new project, Cube slowly will be taken apart, hardware is being sold, same watercooling, so the case itself is going to be left for sale.
Still have most of the hardware and watercooling system, so if you want some parts, let me know...
That is why I'm lowering the price - Cube only - £330.
Of course I can fit in your hardware and watercooling, mod the Cube to take your stuff - all cosmetic changes for free of course:)

Good luck selling this. I just moved away from Shuttles after 5 years to a Lian Li A05.

[phinix]

OK. My new project (NanoTower) is sucking me dry, so need more money.
That is why I'm lowering the price for Cube itself.
£280.

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,


Cube-shaped PCs sacrifice performance for style, due to space constraints. The Phinix Cube PC breaks away from that notion. Featuring a 3.16-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 processor, 4GB of memory, 30GB SSD, 320GB HDD, and Leadtek GeForce GTX 280 graphics. Click here for first picture in gallery.

    After many changes mid-mod, the end result is a watercooled micro-ATX mini monster of a system that does everything a bigger case can, but in a fraction of the size and in something completely unique

[phinix]

Yep, I've read that somewhere before;)
