LOL... My 955XE cost me a grand 2 months ago.
Anyone wanna give me 800 for it?
I wish I had 2 Grand Id build a new Computer
1.4 is not obsolete, well too you & I, It is......... But I worked for a while in a li'l computer shop where we purchased big lots of computers like from banks & schools, There are masses of people buying these rigs after we rebuilt them
Im talking 733/900/933Mhz with pc133 or pc100 even, we would disassemble all of them test all parts /floppies/cdroms/HD/ Format all drives...... Rebuild the units with 900mhz/256mb pc133/cdrom/floppy/8gig HD and NO OPERATING system period...... They sell them for between 85 & 125$ all day long every day, Not too mention the scsi drives, old video cards 32mb and down, Sound cards, modems, Im talking some of this is ISA modems & soundcards, Monitors, just tons of crap for 1 dollar also, they got so much of it sometimes they give it away, 95% of the stuff thats broken gets recycled
The suck thing is the Owner was a tight arse, I was building 55 to 75 computers for him every day, and this cheap ******* wanted to pay me 6.50 an hour cuz I dont have any certification, I told him you seen my work ethics, I know what Im doing & am cranking out units like mad, I told him I want 100$ a day and thats CHEAP, but would he pay it ???
HELL NO
I told him have a nice life & good luck getting a better worker than me.
Cheap... So & So Pizz's me off.
Sorry for rant I got caught up in the moment
