XPS 4 any good?
Hi!
Mostly 8300s, three 8400s, one 8200, four 8100s (3 RIP), a couple of others not as notable... Ben Myers I'm looking for a Dim8400 as a project. Is there any chance you might sell (and ship) one of the units you'd have? Are they in decent shape? I'm in the US (Illinois), and as far as I know, you are also in the US. William |

All the newer systems were in use at the company up to the time it downsized
rapidly, so they are in good operational, mechanical and physical condition. No matter what, I run diagnostics (HDD, memory, and Live Linux as an overall test) on any computer before selling it. The package would include the all the CDs delivered by Dell except for Office SB XP. The 8400 CPUs are 3.4GHz. Hard drive is SATA 160. 2GB main memory would be no problem. Not sure about the optical drive, either CD-RW/DVD combo or DVD burner. I've shipped computers safely before, so packing in the right carton is not a problem. I'll look at the 8400s in my warehouse today, determine the graphics cards, provide service tag info for them, think about a fair asking price and estimated shipping cost via UPS, who tend to be 1000x better than USPS for larger and heavier shipments...

Hi!
Thanks for taking the time to look this up. I do appreciate it. Since this would be a project machine, I wouldn't mind a minimal configuration that I can build up later as I see fit. If you'd like to e-mail me off the group, you should send mail to wct atsign walshcomptech dot com. I lost the password to this Hotmail account a long time ago, and they won't reset it, so now it is a spam trap. William |

XPS 4 any good?
FWIW, I successfully signed up for a gmail account about a month ago, prompted
to do so when my usual ISP began kicking back messages as spam when I sent them to my 50 or so youth soccer BFFs. Gmail required no sponsorship by someone else, and I was also able to set it up easily with my client email software. The only problem now is that I have to remember to read both email accounts until such time as I abandon my charter.net email entirely. You might say I am in a trial relationship with gmail, and if it succeeds, I will divorce myself from charter.net email, which now has other nagging nuisances, too...

I don't know if you have to have an invitation to get a gmail acct any more but if you do I'll give you an invite, if you want to go that route.f |

I wasn't sure if it was by invitation any longer. I have a couple of gmail accounts and one yahoo account and they seem both to be okay. I'm not familiar with all the features they offer because I have also a private (paid for) email provider that I use more for its features. I think the OP might be better off getting a new "free" email account with either Yahoo or Gmail and get a new password to go with it to remember g. |

Hi!
If that's the case, why not get another hotmail acct or get a gmail account ? I have a usable e-mail account...the wct atsign walshcomptech dot com that I mentioned above in my reply to Ben. That is the general purpose public e-mail account. I have a few other accounts (one from my ISP and another from Yahoo!) but those don't see public use and are for special purposes only. Although I don't mind Google as a company, I'm not really interested in their Gmail service. The biggest reason why I continue to use this account is (I guess) laziness and the fact that I've held it for a long while. It's set up and works just fine, so why throw it away? I don't want to sound harsh, but if someone wants to e-mail me I will happily supply a valid address, or it can figured out with a little looking. William |
