I've been building and re-building computers on and off for the last 33 years. I really enjoy it. Veteran owned business. Retired Navy with 20 years service. This ad is for the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K (Series 2 - Unlocked) mATX build. I have several computers up for sale on Craigslist. Please use REF#25-0913 when replying to this ad.
Shipping is not available. Price is firm. Cash, Paypal or Zelle payments are accepted.
Included in the price is a 30 minute indoctrination to your new PC if desired. I have a clubhouse where I live where we can meet and I can show you all the features and operation. Or we can meet at a location of your choosing within the Tampa to North Tampa area as long as the location has power. Also 90 days of technical support free.
Also, I have a product key for Star Wars Outlaws Gold Edition (Value $110) that I will include with this purchase. I'm offering the same deal on another PC listed here, so whichever one sells first gets the product key. Redeem offer by February 15, 2026.
I keep all the original boxes from my builds which I will give to you for warranty purposes, or if you want to sell and upgrade any parts. All extra PSU power cables are included as well.

The Cooler Master case is very compact and features a removable glass panel with four thumb screws. Easy to open and blow out any dust that may accumulate. The side cable panel can be removed by four thumb screws. No tools required. The top front I/O includes two USB 3.0 ports, a USB-C port and a combined headphone/microphone jack. The rear I/O includes a 20gb USB-C port. There are three magnetic dust filters for the case. One for the top, one for the front and one on the bottom. The case is designed to be laid on it's side as well if that works for your needs.
Fan configuration: 2 Thermalright front, 2 Thermalright top, 1 Thermalright rear, 1 Thermalright reverse bottom, CPU Cooler stock plus extra Thermalright. Fan and memory RGB lighting are controlled through software (installed). The motherboard is set up for different lighting zones based on the 3 onboard aRGB headers. The front, bottom and rear fans are connected to one header. The top on another header and the cooler on another header.
ASUS software does not seem to support individual lighting zones. I recommend using Signal RGB (free software). I can help with setup if you want to have more control over your RGB lighting. The fans are PWM which means they operate slowly/quietly when the system is not under stress. And they will automatically speed up under heavy CPU loads. But even operating at full speed the system is super quiet.
The system has been tested for thermal throttling and also stress tested. Please let me know if you have any questions. I will normally respond within a few hours.
