Gauging interest super cheap computers

I might be interested in a few bits if any others wanna chip in and break one down into parts. Save posting an entire box to the UK just for a few small parts.

 

Would you sell parts cheaps, eg. Hard disks, RAM, dvd-writers, etc...

As I don't need a new computer, just need more RAM ( looking for 1gb on 168-pin DIM

 

Im in with you on that one. Wouldnt mind some bits and bobs to make a really quiet pc just to download stuff on.

 

I would get one.

 

Do they come with Windows XP installed and a legit COA? Gosh darn, freakin Microsoft made it so I can't update my windows unless I register.

 

You mean, they made it so that people who legally own a copy can update...

 

Or I must send my info to them even if I own a legit copy. I don't want to send any info to them. That's why I dislike registering stuff. I refuse to get RealTime player because I read they collect data about you and sell it.

 

Some people just don't like registering. I have a legal copy of XP at my house and I dislike registering. I'm just paranoid, but I know where he's coming from.

 

I think I'd be interested as well, depending on the specs of course, but it seems like a decent deal to me. I'd just be worried that shipping would kill me on this but I am in the US

 

I understand that. Its just that the general reason people don't register is because they don't legally own a copy. Didn't mean to raise blood pressure, lets get back on topic.

 

ill probably take a couple if the shipping isnt murder.

 

There's a high probably that Assembler will ship FedEx Ground (within the US). FedEx ground is actually quite affordable when compared to UPS or USPS. Plus they usually handle their items a lot better than the other companies.

 

will these include the software, such as cad, and the what not, man i wish i could get on it, parents would shoot me though, that or hang me by my B%$#! lol

 

I very much doubt they will come with much software, If any. Licensing is expensive.

 

oh bummer i would have loved to get my hands on cad and whatnot, though i couldnt

 

You might find that the computers have the software on, but aren't licensed to have it. Which would be, ahem, illegal, but wouldn't stop you having a play. Although you would have to ask assembler these thigns, I'm just guessing

 

Most office computers come with the windows license sticker stuck onto the side of the machine. So its likely to have at least that.

 

Yeah they will most likely have the stickers on the side of the computer.

 

lol, i was just thinking now..i do that sometimes, and my uncle who is in the arhctextural..cantg spell, business, still uses an mac os1 machine, for what i dont know, but hey, maybe not all of the machines are fancy p4's
