I love garage sales.
Our city's school district just had a garage sale yesterday.
I got 9 workstation computers, 2 server towers, 22 keyboards, 5 deskjet color printers and a bunch of network stuff and prower and misc. cables.
The best part about all of this is it only cost me $5.30.
They are going to have another one in August and I am going back for more.

thats what i am going to do. Right now i am figuring out what is in each one. They all has 10Base T nics, one has 10/100. Servers both are running full SCSI. A few workstations have CDroms. All have memory except for the servers.

lol, that is quite a collection, the spare parts alone are worth the $5.30. I went to a government auction and bought a dual Pentium 133 tower for like 5 bucks. Not as good a deal as you got, but still cool.

Awesome. Do you run your own webserver on any of them because with that many, you can run a whole network of services. **Hint Hint** Good way to make money! **Hint Hint**

I plan on building a webserver and and linux network once I figure out what all works and what doesnt. So far 12 computers I have tested work.
I plan on maybe building about 10 of them to sell and the rest for my network.

Couple of my threads that are fairly similar to this one, but not quite as good of a deal:
http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=223997
http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=223996 (same thing but different forum with different discussion and all)
Just thought you might want to see this since Valor said he'd be interested in seeing what everyone has gotten for cheap.
