Looking for a loving home to my Haswell PC. Discussions over PM please. Shipping, if any, at buyers risk, though I'll pack well with advice and inputs from the buyer and keep them in the loop with pictures in advance. CPU cooler will be uninstalled before shipping, though ideally local is much better for PC. Location : Bangalore, HSR layout.

PC, price total 12k. Bought and assembled in Bangalore, SP road, in second half of 2014, don't remember the date. Candidate for a NAS.
Configuration :

1. Case : Antec two hundred, black. I ran it with 6 hard drives and an SSD.
2. Motherboard : Asrock H87 Pro4
3. CPU : Intel i5 4430
4. Ram : 8 GB x4, 1600 MHz, DDR 3. You'll need 32 GB for a large ZFS array. 2 gskill sticks from 2014, 2 sticks Alketron from 2021. Bill for Alketron should be available, I'll provide, it's in warranty. Ran memtest86 in 2021 overnight, passed.
5. PSU : Corsair VX 450
6. CPU cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED, the one that is compatible with AM4 using an adapter. Box is available with all accessories, including mounting gear for other socket types.

I can throw in a HDD 640 GB Western Digital, or an SSD 120 GB OCZ with the PC.

Router : Price 1800/-
Model : TP-Link Archer A7. Bought during the pandemic, 2021 for WFH. Now not being used.

Don't mind either, preferably gskill since it's about a decade old and might cost less.

Pm me as i can't do it myself

Bump.

Also for people interested only in part of the RAM, I was researching and I couldn't find evidence that 8 GB sticks work with H61 chipset motherboards. Probably they don't.

I checked the testing reported by other manufacturers of motherboards of the chipset e.g. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H61M-S2PV-rev-23/support#support-dl , and they tested only upto 4 GB of ram sticks. 8 GB sticks were probably not invented when this motherboard came out.

I've used 8gb stick of hyperx fury 1866 Mhz RAM on Asus H61 board, which was purchased from @mzsa1994 in 2021. Didn't faced any issues.

Adding more photos : case, BIOS, disassembled, assembled, intermediate, Intel box cooler, hyper 212.

120 mm molex fan that came with the case stopped working a few years ago, I replaced it with Scythe 3 pin fan, attached photo of that.

PCIe slot covers bear signs of abuse : I tried to force in a Chinese PCIe card that won't fit without breaking the slot covers.

@NishantFromYesterday I was waiting for the weekend so that you could test the ram. I'll provide feedback today, please reciprocate. My offer for ram return stands.
