So I was at my Head Office in Toronto and they had a bunch of old computer equipment piled up in a corner. Being nosy, I asked the receptionist what it was there for.
She told me that with some of the restructuring going on in our office that they were getting new computers because "those ones are old".
I asked her what was happening with the old stuff and she said they were waiting for a recycler to pick 'em up.
I asked if I could browse through them and take some stuff and I was told to go ahead.
I had a look and I got the following which is all in working order!
1x Lenovo Desktop PC with 64 Bit AMD Athalon processor loaded with Windows XP Pro which I can recover to factory standards using the on-hard-disk image.
1x HP Desktop PC with P4 Processor with Windows XP Pro which I can recover to factory standards using the on-hard-disk image.
1x DELL Dimension PC with P4 Processor with Windows XP Pro which I can recover to factory standards using the on-hard-disk image. This one has a dual monitor output video card.
3x Black 17" LCD Samsung monitors!!!!!
A couple keyboards and Optical mice
All the other stuff was the Pre-P4 era and looked tired and I was short on trunk space so I left it.
I brought them all home and fired them all up and everything works perfectly...
SCORE!
