I’m looking to buy a used computer. Something old and crappy that you have laying around your house that you never use. nothing too special as far as specs go: Pentium 2 \>300 mHz \> 2GB HD 32 MB RAM Just the tower, nothing else needed… Willing to pay $50-75. I know how much this stuff costs and how much you would actually get for selling the parts. $50 is more than reasonable for something like that. Will pay all shipping costs as well. The only reason I am posting here is because I hate my local computer store and I don’t need the crap they are trying to sell me and I can’t find the older parts (like Pent 2, small HD) because no one sells them anymore. The smallest harddrive I can get is 30 and I don’t need 30 GB. Get my problem? I don’t want to pay $100 for a 30GB HD when I’m only going to use about 2 GB of the space… Let me know if anyone is interested… ---

nothing yet. But since its UPS they probably require a signature and I really haven’t been home to sign for anything in the last few days (edit: weeks)… ---

yeah that was one hell of a packing job… took me 10 minutes to figure out how to get all the tape off! 🙂 ---

I keep a box knife local, just in case of that situation… that, and hijacking a wayward plane every once in a while, just to keep my dexterity up… 😃 Rev ![](http://aulman.com/rev.gif)
