Subsim Swap Shop

Right, who has stuff like graphics cards and RAM just sitting around gathering dust? Is it very obsolete (ie almost useless), or are you constantly upgrading but can't be bothered sticking it on ebay - all the time it's getting older and less valuable!

Who else out there has a PC that can run games, but just doesn't have enough oomph to make it properly enjoyable? Low FPS anyone? We've all been there, and most of us have at some point been too skint to fix it.

Are you getting my drift yet folks?

List what you've got spare, any takers PM you for it? RAM is really cheap to post to the other side of the world. Graphics cards are a bit more but if we can try and keep the heavier/larger items to your own domestic arena.

The more people playing these games the better - so chip in, or request away (sensibly - we'd all like an i7 processor or GTX480, it ain't gonna happen!)

So, good idea?

Quite a good one!

I already got all my upgrades and I gotta say it's great

Hey what's up with no givers and no takers? Were better than that, or at least some of you are

I received all my upgrades and it really felt like Christmas lol.

Let me start- anyone needs a totally broken 250gb drive?

Nice idea, but my friends are already begging for my left-overs.

Maybe a 386DX, or a Comodore 64?
