[Cialug] Reminder - Meeting tomorrow

[Nathan C. Smith]

And the old hardware stores rock because that old crufty guy seems to have "one more" of whatever you need squirreled away "in the back somwheres".

He was the "the man" before there was "da man".

 Ace Hardware.

Ask them for a "Torx Driver Set".  When they look at you quizzically, ask for the elderly person* in back whose worked there since time began.  They'll know what you're talking about.

* All real hardware stores have this person.  It's a requirement.  You can tell that places like Home Depot and Lowes aren't real hardware stores because they lack this role.

I was wondering if anyone would object if I brought in some parts I would like to sell and/or get rid of.  I've been going through some of my tech stuff and I'm trying to downsize what I have at home (at my wife's instance) and I'm also trying to fund future tech purchases (again...wife says no tech budget unless it's to replace something broken...maybe...if it's necessary).

I'll have things like IDE and SATA 5.25" bays & trays, a few sound/graphics/nic/modem boards, 30-40GB IDE drives, optical drives, fans, a couple Treo phones, etc.

Everything free and/or cheap as it's kind of a fire-sale.  I want everything gone soon.

Also, I have some bigger items I'm post in the email, but leave home unless someone asks.

Biostar IDEQ SFF PC w/ 3.0GHz Dual-Core P4 Socket 478. 1.5GB RAM 80GB SATA HDD, IDE DVD Burner.  Power button is busted, alternative power-on wired in (kinda).
Used to be a car computer! Still in really great shape!

HP P2035 Laser printer - may have someone interested.

Dell A920 scanner/inkjet printer. - Also may have interest.

Dell Insprion 4000 - Looks to be in good shape but I know nothing about it. By stickers it's upgraded to WinXP and has a P3 processor.  Was my townhome association's.  I've been tasked to wipe and get rid of it.

Might also have another older desktop and laptop.
