Hello,

Came home and my MP 4.1 flashed to 5.1 wasn't working. Not worth my time diagnosing or swapping parts out, so I looked on craigslist. 2010 2.8 single 4 core with 32GB ram, 500 SSD, GTX4500 for $200. No brainer, bought it. Already swapped in my bluetooth 4.0, blu ray player, RX580. Best part was the boot drive just swapped over and it was as if nothing happened.

Now he has some dual core 2.with 40 GB ram, 500SSD and GTX 680 for $250. May pick that up in case this one ends up biting the dust.

Thoughts on price points?

Edited 2.4 to 2.8

That is not a 5.1mp cpu, or a 4.1.

Base 5.1 is 2.8ghz Quad.
Base 4.1 is 2.66ghz Quad.

Sounds like a single (dual cpu) model processor.

Price points where I lives (all 2nd parts)
32GB RAM: 80$
GTX680: 80$
500GB SSD: 50$
Basically I would get the barebone MP5,1 for free if the whole set was sold for 200$.
