Well, leave it to stupid corporate ceo's for coming up with new ways to rape you for money and politicians willing to enable them to do it. I just got told I have to make aproximately $7500 in upgrades to my house for it to be legally in compliance with new county codes going in next month. There's only one company in the entire county who is qualified to do it. So I can't just go around and find someone else who can do these compliance upgrade. (*gee, how convinent*loud profuse cursing*)
Well, I'm sort of set on this. But not entirely. I was smart enough to bank my bonus of $3000 and not touch my savings account which is aproximately $1800. (client finally paid me for some consulting work I did way back in Jan, hence the sudden load of cash. sheesh, took em long enough.) That makes it $4800 that I have available to pay for this. CC's are maxed, and I can't refinance right now. Bank won't let me. So, I guess I'm gonna have to start selling PC's. Which of these should I sell?
4 Athlon XP workstations ranging from an XP 1900 to an XP 2500. Each has 1gig of ram, 180gig of Hd space (x's 3 HD's)
3 laptops all dell inspirion 8500's, 512 megs of ram, with 2x 2.2gig and 1x 2.4 gig Intel processors. 60gigs of storage each x's 2HD's each.
2 SGI workstations, 1 O2 and 1 Octane.
1 Mac G4, 512 megs memory, MacOSX 10.2, and 80gig storage x's 2hd's.
What and which should I sell? I need to drag up about $2700. And don't say all of them. I want to keep at least 2.
Cliff notes: I'm short cash to pay for repairs to get my house up to code and I need to sell off a bunch of my computer stuff to make up for the shortfall in cash to do it and need advice on what to sell.
Edit2: Seems this whole fiasco started with the computer glitch from h*ll at the county clerks office. So I don't need to sell anything anymore. but hey, I might still unload something to help with the bills.
