    Brand New PathPilot controller for sale

    I purchased a new PathPilot controller because mine was wrongly diagnosed as bad. I was able to get my original controller working again and have no need for this one, My ignorance and rush to purchase will be my loss and someones gain. The controller is brand new and still in the box from Tormach.
    $500 obo

    Msg me for any questions

    Hmm, you can build a Tormach Controller for less:

    Mother Board $44
    CPU $76
    Memory $21
    Case $74
    MESA Card $89
    HD $40

    Total $344
    Free shipping on everything except the MESA card.
    The only thing missing is the PathPilot logo on the front of the case.

    Well, thank you for that education. I paid Tormach $750 and was just trying to recover some of my loss. Thank you for the help

    I don't agree that is the only thing missing:

    Cost of PathPilot software $110 (about)
    Dollar cost of time to order, receive and assemble hardware and install software.
    Possibility that something will go wrong and the dollar time cost to sort it out.

    It's poor practice not to include the value of time when comparing an assembled item to a list of parts. Also a dollar allowance should be included that something will go wrong, for example not having software

    It is certainly valid to consider the value of the time spent ordering the individual components and then having to assemble things. However, you appear to be counting the cost of PathPilot twice since the $110 includes the Mesa card and the card is also in the parts list from rdsi. I believe that you need only order the PP2.0 memory stick from Tormach.
