More info?)
Thats exactly why I am fixing it up.
In fact I have several people
asking me for machines, I'm picking up these Dells that offices are ready to
throw to the trash, and I'm fixing what needs to be fixed, normally spending
less than $75 per machine, and selling them to those who need low cost
machines for their homes or offices. Letting them know that these aren't
directly from Dell, not under Dell warranty, but still work great. And they
do work great.
