There was someone in here buying loads of computers and resaling them for DC or whatever. I have looked all over and cant find him.

Could some one point him out to me?

Thanks
 
calling Mary.........


Keep on Folding!! For the [H]orde!!

 
I was going to one time or another, but funds have ran dry to do so. But as me and family are moving to Georgia, I really don't see myself going back down to Columbus, OH for a shipment of computers.

I am the one and only guy you speak of.
 
You had pics of them at a warehouse and were assemblying P3's and better for sale?
 
That was Marty - marty9876. I bought a 1ghz p3 from him. To my knowledge he isn't selling anything anymore. To much work, and not enough computing power was gained.

 
You are fast. I just edited my post. He isn't doing it anymore.

 
Bored today.


I was looking for a source of cheep used for family and friends, seems everyone wants a computer but wants to spend about tree fiffty on them.
 
I've been looking on ebay for pallets of old office computers, for a farm. I could find a pallet that was cheap enough AND fast enough. Sorry, but P3s are just way too slow in my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong, but you'd need a lot of them. Then comes the power bill. I'm going to build a small garden of Athlon X2s instead.

yep i'm building myself a smaller farm of x2's, more efficient that way, takes up alot less space with dual cores
 
Crappers FTW!!!!!!

My one source dried up (guess I should quit trying to nail the guys wife...), but I've got 2x pallets of P2/P3 (slot 1)/AMD K6-2/3's all over the place. Too many to have hooked up basically. If you wanted a bunch let me know.
 
The best bet is to look around your area for places that take in Office computers and servers. I mean pc recyclers, they rebuild the machines most of the time and sell them in a pallet or separately.

That is how I got half of my server farm, that and driving 100miles to pick them up in a car.

LOL i just spit water all over my screen and got it in my keyboard... hope it still works, yep it works, see :D
 
If you need the number for 2 of the pc recyclers I deal with drop me a pm. They are both located in Columbus OH, I'm not sure where your at, so this would be a start.

I am in your new home state.
 
I do remind you that the [H]orde's very own [H]Ark will be delivered to the new house by September 22 of this month.

Even though you fold for another team, One Cannot be [H]ard when you own a unique version of the Ark of the Covenant which you have built with folding in mind. Four x motherboards of folding goodness.

Your in my new Home state huh, I'm living just north near the border of Tennessee.

I am outside of ATL

Where everybody is somebody.
 
I was building a farm at one time... I got a bunch some random stuff laying around.

Where you looking for something specfic?
 
I work for a refubishing company that buys bulk used machines ranging from dinosaurs to almost new. Drop me a PM if you're looking for something particular and I can see what I can do for you.
 
Im still looking around for folding rigs, I havent been able to fold for awhile... Will start again once the internet at my place is up (Sep. 12th). Only one PC for the folding... :(.

The problem is around here, people want too much for something. Your crazy, if you think your 450-500Mhz PII/PIII is worth $50-$70.00 (without monitor/keyboard/etc). For $87.00, you can get a 2.26Ghz Celeron-D, PcChips mobo, and 128Mb of ram off newegg.

Maybe ive just lost the sprit of the whole thing, but after I pay the bills and rent... Im lucky to have enough left over to put gas in my car. Im thinking of putting google-ads on my website (yet to be uploaded/completed), but Im not sure if that would do much.

Just pray that the adsense will pay off for you. Just make lots of traffic and well put 75% of them into folding machines :)
