Being that we have zero revenue from ads or other sources we were in need of some well priced but quality equipment to get the job done.”One day while I was reading comments on slashdot.org I noticed a link on one to retrobox.com, hmmmm I said, that looks interesting and started digging into what they had to offer.
I was impressed with the selection of workstations, hundreds of machines, all tested and starting for the measly sum of $11. Yes $11 will get you a nice running Pentium system.
We were looking for something that would support any modern distribution with ease performance wise and have adequate disk space after a sizable install. I started find what I needed right in the $30 range. After looking for a half hour or so I settled on a HP Kayak Pentium II 400 with 384MB Ram. The price $40, I next selected a monitor, 17 inch, for $60 and added it to my cart.
