Dell D630 - Wanted for parts

Anyone have an old D630 laying around they aren't using that they wanna sell?

 

There's a butt load of them on Ebay. Thank you for your support.

Yeah, well, I meant the people here, like I said originally.

 

I am a person here, and I was trying to help.

 

Look here, I meant a person who actually has one. Oh, never mind. Thanks for the help, anyway.

 

He has the same conditions for this as he does for buying a Ranchero.
Someone else has to find it.
It has to be REAL cheap.
And it has to arrive at his door at no cost.

There, now you can help him.

 

You actually posted a salient point.

1.) I found it myself.
2.) It was indeed REAL cheap.
3.) It will arrive at my door at no cost.

See, I can give you credit when its' due. It just obviously doesn't happen often.

 

I think you are awesome, handing out credit like that; but most importantly, I think you're a damn fine human being. Merry Christmas, Mr. FF.

 

And a very Merry Christmas to you, too. And to you all!!!

By the way, I realized shortly after I posted this thread that Ranchero owners are way too damn miserly to give up any hardware like that cheap. Thanks though, everyone.

 

I have a Sony Viao with a 15" screen I would have let you have real cheap, but you wanted the Dell.

 

I have a D630 that I needed a few parts for, but thanks though! Merry Christmas to you.

 

What parts are you in need of, i'm a computers tech and the company i work for actually junk this model...let me know if i can help.

 

A fine offer, from across the pond! Frenchy, the other FF, should be an inspiration to us all (not me or FF, but he should be an inspiration to the rest of you).

 

You don't know what you are missing!
The Vaio is WAY more retro than that old Dell!
Runs on XP, and you have time to take a leak and get a cup of coffee while it is waking up from sleep mode.
My I7 machine with SSD raid doesn't give me any time to do anything while it is booting up. Gone are the days when these machines ran at a human pace.

 

Wow, FF, that is indeed a fine offer, thank you! I have enough parts now to get my derelict laptop back online again, but I would like another working one if possible. Maybe we can talk via PM and see what we can do. By the way, a company I used to work for phased these out as well; that's how I got the ones I have.

Ribald, I'm the network plumber for my kids' school. It's a private school so I still get tons of experience with molasses XP machines and all flavors of antiquated hardware. If I could fill the place with D630's it would seem like they just got a bunch of brand new, current notebooks. This is the place I just upgraded all their daisy chained dumb hubs with managed L3 switches (7 year old Cisco's by the way). Here's how bad it was... The 'student lab' (which is really just the room with the most computers in it) had all the computers plugged into a hub, which was plugged into another hub, which was plugged into another hub, which was then plugged in to the DSL router. A speed test before the cutover was .5Mb up, 3Mb down. Now they connect to one switch, in their own private VLAN, which connects to the head end switch through a firewall and out. They get 1.5Mb down, 10Mb up now, which is what they're paying for anyway. But that's the life of the Christian private school, with no public funding and no big companies willing to donate to them, so it is what it is. Volunteers like me are the only way they can afford to even have a network, and donations of used computers are a way of life. Just once I'd like to see an Amazon or Cisco step up and actually donate to a Christian school.

 

Thanks for pointing that out. I throw away 10/100 switches as I haven't found anyone that wants them. The Catholic school here has a good network, I will check with the other Christian schools in the area.

 

Catholic schools are well funded, the one-off schools like my kids' are definitely not.

 

I can take all the parts i want on the computer, motherboard, screen, keyboard, memory etc...but in the process of divestment of computers of the company i can't take the case/housing...

 

That's funny. I actually do have another chassis from a long-dead 620. It sounds like we could Frankenstein another working machine together.
