cheers.......dave Computer Box Only Intel Celeron (Mendocino) 466 MHz processor 256 ram (2 x128Mb) 6.4 GB hard drive CD Rom drive Ethernet card runs fine on ADSL and was laterly connecting to the interweb via external 56k modem Has been running PCLinuxOS and in use up until 24/5/08 but now replaced and no longer needed. The hard drive has been reformatted and has fresh install of Xubuntu 8.04 installed - to check that it is all running OK Xubuntu runs (see photos) but really needs about 512 ram to be any good I'll chuck in the PCLinuxOS & Xubuntu CD's if wanted Previously (some time ago) had Windows 98SE/works/encarta/home publishing etc. installed and the original disks are included (if wanted) And no I won't reinstall Windows98SE and all the other stuff, why? ... because frankly I have a life and don't intend to spend several hours looking at blue-screens-of-death and rebooting 5 million times, only to have the install fail at 98% completed :-) ... but you are welcome to try if your a masochist What else can I say it's a beige box but it may be good for a project, case, power-supply or parts or even for the kids 2008/6/21 Don Gould <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Rob you make a good point. > > The group should level $2 per user and go get a machine. > > Do those prices include a monitor? > > If people need monitors I've got stacks of them doing nothing at present. > > Cheers Don > > > Robert Fisher wrote: > >> On Sat, 21 Jun 2008 2:18:07 pm Derek Smithies wrote: >> >>> On Sat, 21 Jun 2008, Nick Rout wrote: >>> >>>> dragonpc will sell an upgrade kit (new) for $250+gst with mem,case, >>>>> mboard,cpu but no drives, and no OS. >>>>> >>>> Well I might as well throw in my 2 cents too. >> >> I often get ex-lease computers for customers from NZCS.
