Fry's GQ 3121 AMD Sempron 2200+
I was recently hired for a legit support contract for an Ebay powerseller in Downers Grove, IL to setup Windows Small Business Server 2003 and network file, printer and email services to 3 other workstations. Apparently, this guy does so much business on Ebay that he built an addition to his home and turned it into a home-office room and mini-network where he has 1 FT and 1 PT employee monitoring, listing and taking care of stuff for all his auctions. Anyway, since he is still a small company and now needs the services of a dedicated consultant he hired me for a 6 month contract to support all his technical needs. Since I would not be getting paid for this long term gig, we worked out a deal that he bought me about $1,600 worth of new computers as compensation for the contract. Not a bad deal since I did not have much going on at the time anyway and besides, all new top of the line computer equipment for my place was pretty sweet!
Once the initial Server and network setup is completed, I do not anticipate many problems at all just support a low end server and a few workstations in the next 6 months anyway.
Today, you can see me here rebuilding and upgrading my old computers for resale on Chicago Craigslist since I have 2 new computers now! :-)
Here is my old AMD Sempron 2200+ that I mainly used as my Download computer with Emule and Kazaa Lite file PSP.
I have the cover off since I am putting in a new ATI Radeon 9250 128MB agp video card and some extra RAM:
I have finished with the upgrades, formatted the HD and reloaded Windows XP. This newly built machine now has 256MB DDR400 PC2700 RAM, a 40GB HD, 16X double layer DVD burner, 16 X DVD-ROM, ATI Radeon Sapphire 9250 128MB 8x AGP graphics card among other things with a fresh install of XP Home Ed SP2 and MS Office 2003 PRO SP2. It's internet ready, game system ready and ready for sale!
Now, I have displayed everything on a table to take pics to post for sale on Craigslist.
And let's not forget the new FOR SALE ad posted on Craigslist!
