Used parts?

Would you buy used computer parts? I found an 8800gts on Craigslist for $95. 320mb.

I don't like that brand personally.

I personally go with as much BFG and Asus products as possible with Corsair or patriot for Ram, and whoever is making the best hard drives at the time(western digital and seagate fluactate in this fact a lot but there my main too).

Reason being BFG tech products if you buy new all have a lifetime warranty, and they not only make the best video cards in my opinion, they make killer power supplies.

A lifetime warranty on a powersupply is a godsend it is the part most likely to go out on any high end PC.

Asus always makes the top end gaming motherboards, and new they have a damn good warranty also.

Corsair and patriot are flat out just the best ram, with damn good warranties but most the times its the RAM slot that goes bad not the ram in my experience, so it would be an issue with the warranty on the asus motherboard.

Processors its hard to get a Decent warranty on but i wouldn't trust a used one.

the point being if you buy used parts and something breaks there is no chance fixing it won't be out of pocket.

However with new products with warranties you can get replacements for free.

My experience with ANY used technology is....stay away from it.  My son has purchased roughly a dozen cell phones from friends, E-Bay, etc and every one of them malfunctioned within a two month period.
