You might have to decipher that first sentence! :-) Been hanging around Eric for too long now! <g> I did forget to say that this one does have the key sticker on the side! :-) It's not W2k, but.... I'm waiting for the price of the AMD 4200+ to come down in price. (meaning, it will be awhile), but I do have to buy another video card for this machine. I miss playing Q2/3! :-( On Sun, 17 Jul 2005 17:21:01 -0500, "Russ Blakeman" <rhb57@xxxxxxxxxx> took time to say the following: RB> Howz come I never see you with you taking the same route as me - the alley? RB> RB> I did better than that although not free - 4 fully loaded A1280C HP RB> Visualise workstations with 2gb ram each, dual 1ghz PIII processors (slot RB> 1), ass kicking video, cdrom (one has burner), 36 gb scsi hard drive, W2k RB> with actual key sticker on the case, etc. No keyboards, mice or monitors - RB> $200 for the 4. Got them from a nearby industry as surplus/salvage. Not a RB> thing wrong with them at all. They used them as graphics and CAD RB> workstations but their overflowing budget dictated that they blow another RB> couple thousand each on new ones. RB> RB> One to my son for AutoCAD, the other three for the new office. One of the RB> single PIII's I have (800mhz with 512mb) is going to be a test run for RB> Ubuntu/Kubuntu (now I need to try both) "I've got some bad news for you sunshine, Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Talk Shop http://www.computertalkshop.com Un-subscribe/Vacation, http://www.computertalkshop.com/list_options.htm List HowTo: http://www.computertalkshop.com/faq.htm To join Computer Talk Shop's off topic list, please goto: http://computertalkshop.com/other_cts_lists.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
