I got a contact from a person I did deals with on craigslist a bit back, and he told me he had a desktop he was trying to get rid of. It was a Dell Dimension 4400 Pentium IV 1.6Ghz machine. He told me if I wanted, I could get it for $40. I figured, what the hell. My friend has been looking for a machine for his friend so they had a computer to replace and aged Pentium 90Mhz machine that they used for the web

These are the specs of the machine:

Pentium Celeron 2.4Ghz (up from 1.6Ghz Pentium IV) @ 400Mhz FSB

Intel 845 Chipset

2x 256MB PC-2700 RAM (512MB Total)

10/100 Etherphase II PCI Ethernet card

40GB HDD, CD-RW, Floppy

SoundBlaster 24 Live! PCI Soundcard w/ Optical out and Coax Out jacks (takes two slots. One for the Optical out)

He says the DVD-ROM Went Kaput on the machine, so he threw in a CD-RW (LiteOn) that he had lying around

Total, I spent $50, $40 for the tower, $5 for the 40GB HDD, and $5 for the Step up in processing speed (the Celeron 2.4Ghz will beat out a 1.6Ghz Pentium IV *ANYDAY*!)

So I am getting it ready. Oh, it came with XP Home OEM with a sticker on the side. I have a slipstreamed version of the disc I made with nLite to put SP3 on the machine from install as well as pre-configured setup. This will make a handy recovery CD
