Like A Kid in a Candy Store...

That is exactly how I feel when it comes to finding cheap computers. Just like a kid in a candy store. That was me yesterday, a kid in a candy store when I found two computers in the Brighton Center Clothing Closet that somebody donated which I was able to buy for $8. One of the computers I got was similar to TRexSmarts (my very first computer I got in 2000). I was able to get TRexSmarts to come alive after matching up the ram correctly. I also found out in the process of checking out TRexSmarts that my tv cable is still on. Which allows me to use my tv tuner card on TRexSmarts. So, for now, one of my computers is up. Just have to get Glaive working. That might be a few weeks or months probably. As for the other two, I do know one of the computers I go does work. It is actually the same model but a different mhz speed. TRexSmarts is an 800 mhz whereas the other one is 730 mhz. I could basically take the sides panels off of the computer and give them to TRexSmarts if I want. But more importantly TRexSmarts is up and ready to go. Here is my to do list:

Internet:

1) Setup my network for my computers
2) See if I can get the internet

TRexSmarts:

1) Dust out the inside of computer.
2) Setup my surround sound to computer
3) Once I have internet connection:
A) update virus definitions & Nav 8
B) update windows
C) update spyware
D) update any drivers

Glaive:
1) Get Ram for computer
2) Dust out the inside of computer
3) Once I have internet connection: (same as TRexSmarts above)

So, as you can tell, I have a lot to do still with my two regular computers. But not only that, I also got two more computers to work on as well. Anyway, off to work I go feeling like a million bucks baby!!!!!!!!!!
