Leader RedBaird Posted October 9, 2016 Leader Posted October 9, 2016 Just looked it up. Some recertified ones are for sale at $145, BUT only 2gb ram, no OS, 80gb HD, motherboard GPU = Ho, Ho, Ho, Mr. Parrot!, you "Santa Claused" yourself! I see that manuals for it are available online. Have fun. BTW, one configuration, with the Extreme CPU, has a fingerprint reader and a "case intrusion prevention" system. (?) Quote

Yeah, I figure all together worth around 430 bucks. Putting Windows on it now, since I realized having a true Windows box will make my life easier for work. (and I have MSDN from work, so no cost there) Quote
