The school of education* got their first Macbook Pros around March of 2006. Robert's assessment of 3 years old reflects the standard warranted life of most university computers, so Intel macs might possibly show up at surplus sales this summer. This is somewhat unlikely though, because all PPC macs

Thanks for the info. I haven't been to a BYU Surplus Sale in years and I thought maybe they have changed. I guess you don't teach new tricks to an old dog ;-) Adrian Esteban Madrid Lead Developer, Prefab Markets http://www.prefabmarkets.com On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 15:19, Robert LeBlanc <[EMAIL P

Hahah, that’s really funny! Last time I went, they wanted $400 for 3 yr old iMac. They had a G5, but it was expensive. I doubt they will have much more, but this I find $70 for an old Dell GX270 too much. Robert LeBlanc College of Life Sciences Computer Support Brigham Young University (80

I'm really lookign forward to upgrading my old mini with any intel-based mac but I can't afford the prices right now. Any idea if they might have/have

Actually, under my bed there's some normal-size cases that need to go. There are two I'm rather willing to say goodbye to. One I already junked. AJ ONeal On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 5:01 PM, Jeff Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hello, > > I'm looking for an ATX computer case. I have one that I

Hello, I'm looking for an ATX computer case. I have one that I wanted to use, but it's too small. The power supply is situated over the motherboard in such a way that the CPU fan won't fit underneath it. Any full tower should work for what I need. I don't need a power supply or cables or any addit
