HBP Giveaway or Sale?
June 2, 2008 – 12:41 am | by TheYoungGuyIf you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
So I won’t lie to you all, I am thinking about ways to generate more traffic to my RSS Feed. I have been thinking of ways to create returning readers and commentators. So something came to mind. I just rebuilt my PC. I was sitting here looking around the room and it caught my eye, every piece of hardware that I just removed from my PC (all still good and running great) sitting there waiting to be put back into action.
So here is what I am thinking. I can 1) rebuild a new PC with those parts, 2) sell the parts individually or together, or 3) I can have some sort of contest on my blog(s) to giveaway each piece of equipment. Here is the list of parts below:
- Motherboard: ASUS A8n-SLi Premium
- CPU: AMD Athlon X2 4800+
- Graphics Card: Evga 7800 GTX KO
- Power Supply: Ultra Xfinity 600 Watt
- RAM: 2.5 GB or Corsair DDR w/ heat spreaders
Total value of the whole package is approximately $903.00 retail cost brand new. Each piece was used for approximately 1 year and never overclocked. The package together ran Crysis on mid settings smoothly on Windows XP Pro. If anyone is interested in purchasing the total package please email me at TheYoungGuy@gmail.com or leave me a comment on this post.
Otherwise I will base my decisions on what to do with this stuff on the comments you all leave on the site. So its up to you to tell me which of the 3 choices I should make. I look forward to hearing your opinions.

Maybe worth your while building another one for backing up or something?
We have so many computer around here, it’s a bit ridiculous. Sorry, we don’t need the parts.

Yea I was thinking about that too. I could use another machine for testing purposes at least. But the way my thought process works… would I benefit more from having a testing machine or backup machine, or would it be better to try to get rid of the parts and try to enhance my readership with that.
Something else I was thinking… I could piece by piece give them away over a long period of time(6 months) or so.
Like top commentator for each month gets the piece of their choice…. Something like that.
Ah, who knows…
