Anyone have any suggestions about shipping 30.00lbs worth of items cheaply and securely in the CONUS?

Any cheaper to break it up, could go into 5 different boxes if needed. Cheapest I have found is FEDEX ground and its $43.00!


Suggestions?

Pulled the type number from the BIOS, so Im thinking its NOT a "P", not trying to represent something its not....
Its clean, in nice shape for an old machine, less the screen.

Thanks
Ron

Found this while I was pulling the T30's out. Its clean and is labeled as a A31p HOWEVER: The motherboard reports as a 2652-Q3U READ THE ABOVE INFO! Fired right up, the screen has significant discoloring at start up and only partially clears as it comes on line. CMOS battery is dead, and its holleri...

I have 6 machines
4 KNOWN parts (more or less complete)
2 personal machines.

The 2 Personal machines have not been powered up in years, but both have the better screens, SXGA+. Both are 2.0 CPU with 2 gigs of RAM.

Any interest at $100.00?

Ron

Use it all the time, on multiple Bluetooth electronics. Gave you the answer already:

Crappy software begets crappy implementation

All, I still get a few requests a year for these and they are still available. Easy transaction, make a donation and I send you a link. Roughly a week later I kill the link.

Its for a good cause!

This works fine with the modded bios.
I play music, work with photos and watch movies off of mine. No issues.

Ron

Below is the only one I attempt to use any more, the rest is crap.

seems to be a little faster to be honest.

Discovered something new yesterday on one of these puppies. The come with a Mine PCI-e port. Put the card in and your wireless!

It charges at around 500ma when plugged in with out the power supply. Plugged in 3 of the port provide more than 2 amps EACH. No issues ith charging multi cell phones at the same time, quickly.

Uunderboi has killed another.
I would rather not go through the hassle of a MoBo swap, so willing to pay a little more for barebones. Anyone have anything available?

What I finally found
Ron

I put Mint on an Atom with no issues.

Ron

OK, spent the better part of a week looking for a USB hub that will ALSO charge my phone at a decent rate. I found a nice Insignia that from the factory comes with a 3 amp charger but it takes more than 12 hours to charge anything from it. Needs USB 2.0 is fine 4 ports is fine External power Likes A...

I have a retail set of floppies and or an ISO, plus plenty of serials. Its been at least 10 years since I have messed with any of them. All are sitting on a NAS that I could host. NOT IBM, so you would need to load the drivers.

The T30 was a P4 based system. The Recovery set I have will not work for either of te systems you are looking for, sorry.


Ron

Need the 90 degree, I end up going the Chinese route for 16 gig drive

Ron

HDD substitute
This is what is suggested

What are my cheapest options?

Thanks
Ron

Take $10.00 off!

Ron

No the Thin Client will be 100% stand alone. It has wireless for the Time Warner Hot Spot so I have internet. I dont want/need two monitors, mice or keyboards, so ill use the KVM to switch between them.

Will Windows 7 embedded allow me to search for parts via the internet?

Ron

Losing my job, meh perhaps.

They recommend you use your cell phone.


Ron

At work, the internet is shut down. We are VPN directly to home office and its just not going to happen. If I pick up a thin client, the one Im looking at has 2 gig ram, 16 gig storage and wifi plus Win7 embedded, can it run in stand alone via a KVM? It will never be hooked up to the local Ethernet,...

I have a T30 set that should work. Best I recall and it has been years, it is what I used on my donated R40 machines. I think the only driver I needed to add was the Modem.
