Does anyone know a good place where one can shop locally for
used computer equipment?(Off lease, recycled, demos etc) Looking for a monitor, and maybe some old RAM. Also looking for a copy of XP Home/Pro operating system locally. Just putting a computer together for my kid to pound on. THis would the CHicago area, Northwest, North suburbs. I have a Dell L1000R Latitude that is relatively new...just sat in a closet all these years. I think it uses PC133 SDRAM....128Meg. Prefer 256Meg. It's got Win98SE but would like to see if XP will work. I also have an HP cpu that I am screwing with. I have nothing lined up...going to go thru the yellow pages tonight. |

What do you need I have an extra flat screen 15" and bunches of ram and video cards. |

If it can be a tube, I have a 21" trinitron you can have.
If you get a Dell, I have xp install disks that they ship with. They re-image the systems here at work when they come in and toss the disks. ETA: I have a friend who does industrial surplus, if you don't have something lined up now I can give him a call and see what he's got. |

Ruso, Where are you located? I'm in Bolingbrook, and I've been professionally building and repairing computers for 13 years now. I have a couple small desktops that I rebuild and sell to families (typically around X-mas) for just what you are looking for. It will be fully gone over, and a fresh (legal) copy of Windows on it. I may also have a spare 15" flat panel for cheap to go along with it. If that sounds like what you're looking for, E-mail me at [email protected] and I'd be glad to help out. If you aren't too far from me, I could even swing by and hook it up for you. ~Eric~ |

I do have a Dell....but nothing going right now. Just looking around for spare parts. Mostly RAM and monitor. XP OS if I can get to play with...but not a priority. |
| I have a cd burner if you want it. I think it is 40x. Free for the taking. I did find an xp pro disk in my garage the other day. It has a legit key and all that. You can have it if you want. I just don't know where I got it from or how many times it has been installed. It isn't the same key that I am running on my system. |
