Hows this eBay rig I won?

Forum Systems : Homebuilt Hows this eBay rig I won?

So I won an eBay suction. I bidder on a couple of different gaming pcs rather low amounts and I won two. One of them was an i7-920 with 12GB ram, and a 6850 with Asus Mobo for about $550 shipped. I already bought it and paid for it. Now this second rig is amazing!

It's an alienware area 51 alx with:

I7-980x
12GB DDR3 @ 1333mhz
DUAL 2GB 5970 in crossfire
60GB Corsair SSD
1.2TB raid 0 10k rpm velociraptors

I got the entire thing for $1000. Now that seems a bit sketchy.... I bidder $1001, and somebody bided $1k at the last second, but I still won by $1. The seller has nearly perfect feedback and says it works and everything. Iam going to buy this bad boy with my dads cc and hopefully I don't get a dud. What all would you guys check if you ever get a pc over eBay?

Seems very dodgy for that price.

This is the pc you said: http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Ali [...] PC-Review/

Estimated price is above 4K range.

I'd check and make sure it still has a warranty - same as buying a used car. I'd also check to make sure that all the hard drives were wiped clean - and that it comes with a full copy of Windows and all available driver discs - and that the PC had no viruses past or present.
