**I've finally decided it's time. Now that I have a few extra days off for this long weekend I figure I need to get off my duff and really try to fix up these old PC cases I've got lying around in my room. I have 2 main PC's. One for TV/media.. the other for games 'n everything else. Then there's my webserver - that makes 3 PC's. Then I figured I'd keep an old backup PC in case one dies. So that makes 4. So other than the PC;s I'm using I have the following(includes the back PC): - An old AMD K6 machine
- Dell Dimension 4100
- Dell Dimension V333C
- Dell Dimension XPS T500
- an old PIII/700mhs
- an old PIII 450
Of those I need to ditch 5 of them. Sofar I've been able to clean up the Dell V333C ...and I'm making good progress on the AMD K6/300 ... I'm not quite sure how I'm going to be able to get rid of them. I'd rather not just throw them out to sit in a landfill. It'd be great if I could give them away.. or even donate them to cancer patients or something.... Sadly I'm afraid most of these machines are probably so old that they would never get much attention. But I figure it's worth a shot. Oh, and on top of those PC's I also have 2 laptops.... Unfortunately both laptop HardDrives decided this would be a good time to fail on me  ... So now I need to invest probably $100 to get new HardDrives for both... Though I think after I get rid of those PCs I'll buy myself a Netbook. That will take up a ton less room and it will be very handy when I travel places  .. Until then.. back to work, I go! |
