OT - Way off topic, but Dell is giving away machines

[Dan Barker]

Until 1/5/05, you can get a Dell SC420, 2.5GHz Celeron, 1G Ram, 80G
Harddrive, CD-Rom for $234.

I just ordered 4!

Dan / WG4S / K2 #2456

No affiliation, blah, blah, blah, I just lost 3 servers over the weekend and
I'm OUT of spares and very nervous.

It's a bear to find.

www.dell.com, click small business, Click "Servers, Storage and Networking",
Scroll down a bit and click "Customize it" next to the $224 teaser (that's a
40G harddrive). Pay LOTS of attention. Some of the "options" have prices
like "remove $99".

Don't know if this link will work for you, but you can drill in as above.

http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=04&kc=6W300&l=en&
oc=sc420sapp&s=bsd

They are kind of high for disks, but the memory is decent.

At the top of the configuration list:

Note: For server use only; CANNOT BE USED AS A DESKTOP.
Dell does not support the use of a graphics card on the SC420.

Still, a great price.  The other desktops they're selling are priced
well.

Did a little research - looks like there is onboard video but an XP
driver may or may not be available.  Also, all PCI slots and no AGP.

Looks like they were being sold for even less last month.

Dan,

I found it.  Seems it has no operating system.  Do you read it that way
too?  I'm not sure I have an operating system I can use.  My Daughters
Compaq went belly up due to a power surge last week, but the restore disk
probably checks to see if it is the right model Compaq, and my computers
are the same way.  Possibly I can get a Windows 2000.
