    I did a quick browse. First impressions:

    decent site with a lot of potential
    good selection of older generation, complete computers
    not much in the way individual parts to order
    descriptions for all items is very limited
    very slow web site

    I bookmarked it. Looks like there is good potential.

    There is actually a PC on that site that costs -$3.84. It actually subtracts from the shipping cost! ;D

    They PAY ME $3.84 cents to buy it?

    I wonder how many they have I can order? I want a gazillion of them. Which means they owe me $ 3.84 x a gazillion right ? This might work out.

    I wonder what that comes out to after taxes if I donate them all to a charity. Did you folding guys ever get certified as a non profit?

    Unfortunately, they've got a flat shipping rate of $27 something, so the final price is $23 something. Maybe there's a pickup option?

    I don't think the non-profit thing ever went through.

    Crap... I thought I was about to be a gazillionaire!

    And you folders were about to have to get a warehouse and pool money to feed a electric bill that was feeding a gazzilion old computers to fold their hearts out.

    The people at www.slickdeals.net that posted about the place said it wasnt a bad place. And they do allow instore pickup for people that are close that would save on the shipping.
