[Clutch]

Well we got this thing on the mail today for the publishers clearing house. Inside was a gift vouchure of $400 good to buy something in the flyers included. Well I was about to throw it away when I noticed this awesome computer system they had. It's only $379.95 after the $400 voucher. Here are some pics I took of the flyer and specs.

I can't wait until I get mine in the mail :D

[aZnWanksta]

lol, hey, I want one too!!

aW

[Black Hawk]

My mom recieved that a few months back. On the other side is a crappy laptop that also costs as much or more.

/me wonders how many people have bought it :eek:

[godzilla525]

LOL... that's absolutely pathetic. It appears to be an IBM too, which explains a lot. :aol:

I just now noticed... "Factory Serviced" :p

[mcwc]

There is a lot of ram. 64MB of it.
That is what most people will say, back in 1998/99.

[TheLostSwede]

Christ on a raft!

For 380 bucks, you get a "computer" worth 40 bucks, top. This is scam on a high level.

[Clutch]

Well you get a 15" COLOR monitor guys. And not only is it a Pentium, but its a new multimedia processor.

[danball1976]

Not only that, but its probably running Windows 95C or Windows98 First edition.

[Slick]

Heh, we tore the same boxes apart and reconstructed them in my digital electronics class :).

[hitokiri]

Hahahh! I got something similar in the mail, a catalog from "Heartland America". What a rip-off, half the stuff in here is crap. For example, check out this raw power :P :

[mmonnin]

Look how thick that is.

[hitokiri]

Just look at that GPU, the cheetah is practically popping out!

[GHoosdum]

Wooo hooo, 12" screen!

[Clutch]

haha, too funny. I got to get my hands on a active matrix screen, with the name matrix in it, it has to be ubber 1337. One problem though, how come everytime I try to add it to my shopping cart nothing happens? ;)

[Kwitko]

Isn't this a Dell Optiplex case?:eek:

[kanezfan]

looks like it to me

[GHoosdum]

Does it come with the horse actually leaping from the monitor?

How did I know someone was going to make that comment :)

And yes that is a dell optiplex case, haha

I wonder what the deal is with animals trying to hop out of the screen in these ads?

[Slick]

Hahaha, it is a dell, my high school owns like a bazillion of those things.

[tycho]

Ohhhhhh yeaaaaaahhhhhhh
get that baby folding and you will be cruisin' ;)



//edit: here for a day and i am already spelling poorly

[Zorki]

Wow guys, so you are saying that I have some serious cash sitting around! I have two dandy Pentium 75MHz boxes with Windows 3.1 and PCMCIA card readers just waiting for the "right" buyer :wave: :wave: That's even worse than the time the exchange had an two year old Celeron rig and they wanted pretty good money for it , like $400 if I remember.

Give it up for the 5.25 floppy goodness. I can't believe you could buy a P75 with one of those.

[Hawk]

Horsepower man! horsepower! LOL, Those are some funny sales. And the shame is some unsuspecting soul will bye one of those thinking they got a deal. Hehehe.

moooooo

my way of saying thanks for putting up with me and my inability to spell

[Zorki]

LOL actually the 5.25" floppy and 4x CD-ROM were taken from a 486 SX/25 system that is sitting elsewhere.

[panzerkw]

Clutch you still got any of them AMD stickers left?

[Clutch]

I got about 40 or so of the little case badge ones, yes. I also have some pens left over.

[a2jfreak]

I think it should read 45" Plasma display, not 15" monitor.

3.2TB of HD, not 3.2GB

64GB of RAM, not 64MB

Intel Pentium XII, not II.

I hated those old cases!

[profdlp]

Wow, a computer that can take you back in time five years.

MicroCenter in Northern VA had a table full of these for $40 over two years ago (no monitor). I pity the suckers who fall for this.

Nice call, jdii1215, I think you're dead right about the sticker - maybe it's Windows 93 ! Geez, I think I'd rather run that Lindows machine from K-Mart.:D


Prof

[Clutch]

haha, I also pitty the fool profdlp. But can you imagine how many people actually fell for this. Heck they probably just ordered a pallet full of these because they were so old for like $100 and now making a killing.

[danball1976]

I would have been one of those suckers nearly 5 yrs ago, and I knew you could build a computer of your own, even though I had never been on the Internet until Sept 1998. Thats how I found out about TigerDirect in the end of 1998, and signed up for a cataloge, and then in Jan 1999 started buying parts.

[t1rhino]

Hahaha,
We use those old dells for doorstops at work. :D

[a2jfreak]

The new Dells make a good doorstop too, albeit very expensive.

Use the XPS to add a touch of color to your floor!

[gibbonsl]

nice and expanses DOORSTOPS

[Geeky1]

But what else would u use a dell for anyhow? They aren't fast enough to be real computers...
