apple macbook pro 13" (spares or repairs)

hi guys, here i have for sale a apple macbook pro 13", early 2011, model a1278, for spares or repairs.

i bought this macbook broken and without hard drive, ram, any operating system or a charger, since iv purchased it i have upgraded the hard drive to a 64gb ocz vertex 4 ssd, i have installed 8gb of crucial ddr3 ram, and have bought a brand new magsafe charger, aswell as buying the latest mountain lion os for the macbook, which i downloaded and converted to a usb bootable drive, which will be included, the prices just for the parts iv mentioned are as follows

64gb ocz vertex 4 ssd = £70
8gb crucial ram = £60
magsafe charger = £65
mountain lion os £13.99
spaceloop usb memory stick 32gb = £15

the price of just this comes to £223.99 without what i paid for the macbook itself, only trying to recover my costs really i will not be making anything from this, purely my investment back.

now if anybody is really interested in this i have more pics in abit more detail of the few things that arent quite right with the macbook itself.

although this macbook runs the os fine and is nice and fast and works as it should, there are a couple of things i need to point out here,

1) the fan just continues to run at high level at all times which i really dont have a clue what this is, it is bearable but quite noisy.
2)the clutch case has a crack in it, but its hardly noticable to be honest, an it only covers wires and the hinges.
3)it is a used macbook so theres a couple of dints here and there but nothing too bad, i have a few more pics if you PM me.
4) the screen has a few bits of dust underneath the screen, again noticable, but when screen is on there not too bad.

other than that, that is all that is really the matter with it, the fan may well be an easy fix for someone, but after having a mess about with the mac os i just cant get along with it and much prefer my windows 7, but these machines are highly sought after and can fetch well above £700 on the likes of ebay so my price reflects the condition of this machine and why it is being sold as spares or repairs, like i said the machine itself runs and works fine and its a very fast machine, if you can live with these little niggles i have stated then this could be a nice cheap way into the apple macbook pro world, as these are well over a £1000 new.

now payment can be made via bank transfer, paypal, or cash on collection from newcastle.

i will send the item via courier which will need signed for upon delivery, for piece of mind on both sides.

like i said if you are actually genuinely interested just shoot me a PM and i can send more pics or answer any questions i can on this, bare in mind im no computer expert but i will help where i can.

if iv missed anything off that you would like to know then again, please fire me off a PM.

Im open to reasonable offers on this if anyone is interested, i may even take the ram and ssd out and replace with a 500gb and 4gb ram and sell even cheaper.
