Closed HP RP5700 Small Form Factor Computer

[anagrama]

I am selling an HP RP5700 desktop computer which comes in a SSF desktop case.

In full working order / excellent condition

Features include

Intel Celeron SL9XL 2ghz Processor
1gb DDR2 PC6400 Ram
Integrated Intel GMA 3000 Graphics
Integrated Audio
Additional Serial PCI Card
Microsoft Windows Vista Business COA

Note that this does not come with a media drive or hard drive. These were normally used in EPOS applications and still retail for £800 online!

Im looking for £50

Shipping will be £10
UK only sorry!

Excuse my ignorance but why do pos systems retail for so much when it's basically just standard pc hardware, that i can see, or is there some substantial difference?

I understand they are built better than their standard HP computers with features such as gold plated connectors and poly-fused power ports. I think in general they are built to be used 24/7 for a long period of time. They are probably configured differently too to suit the point of sale environment.

The extra serial PCI card included are on ebay for £50 each, none have sold like but these are included with the systems anyway.

Other than that, im not sure what the difference is. They work perfectly fine as a standard pc running vista business though. I set one up for the friend and they are more than happy with it.

If you havent already googled these then take a look, the prices are shocking! Hence the fair price here of £50 each plus shipping. If you stuck £100 all in at one of these you could have yourself a nice little system

No difference at all except the markup and the software they are normally installed with.

[scrappysphinx]

yeah i did a google and found the price.

Just wondered why someone would go with the dedicated pos over a standard pc but as you said, reliability is probably the answer.

Declaring interest on two of these. Need to talk to a friend but will come back to you later on.

 

[anagrama]

Thanks for the interest Robinson, will hold two until later for you. Thanks

Out of interest,

How many SATA ports does this have?
Is the processor an LGA775 type?
Do you know if this board will take an upgrade to say a Core2Duo?

 

[anagrama]

It has an LGA775 socket and will accept Core 2 Duo processors. It also has 3 sata sockets.

Quick question - on a scale of "butterfly" to "vacuum cleaner" how noisy are the fans on these?

Ill switch one on tonight to double check but there not loud at all, very quiet infact just as long as you havent got your head pressed against it!

 

[Powerpie5000]

These would make great little emulation machines! Perfect size for a TV cabinet/shelf

I'm not declaring interest (although very tempted), but do they come with the necessary brackets to install a HDD and optical drive?

 

[anagrama]

Yeah just slot them in no problem. These would look nice under a tv shelf and with Intel 3000 graphics they should be good for emulation.

 

[robinsonb5]

Ooops, forgot to post yesterday - payment sent for one item, withdrawing interest on the second. Thanks

 

[robinsonb5]

Received this morning - looks like a great little machine Feedback en-route...
