Sweet. The computer gods have brought me more stuff

[minendo]

Just got two new Dell Optiplex SX260's (P4 2.6, 40gb, 512mb) and 2 UltraSharp 18.1s. Now, I can finally get going on this huge project I have at work.

By the way, for those of you that don't know, these Dell Optiplex SFF would make great carputers. I'm looking into buying one for the Stealth.

Didn't you just get a new desktop?

Sounds good man.

What were your old computers?

I've got to wait until June or so for our "hardware refresh" here at work. I found out recently that the vendor they chose is HP which went far toward dulling my enthusiasm. It looks like they will be 2.4C's with at least 512mb of RAM though so I can't complain too much. I'm working on a PIII 600mhz with 256mb of RAM atm. I'm still praying to those same gods that they go with LCDs. The hardware we develop on has to match the hardware in the field so it a fairly extensive rollout and thus slow as all hell.

The 2.8C and IS7-E FedEx brought yesterday to my house do offer some consolation...

The two new ones are test machines. My actual workstation is a Dell Optiplex GX270 (p4 3.0 HT, 1gb, 80gb) with an UltraSharp 18.1.

In the past 4 months I have removed all of our current machines. Mostly P100 and PII333 HP's, and replaced them with Optiplex GX260 SFF (P4 2.4, 512MB PC2100, 40GBHDD, XP Pro) and GX270 Desktops with P4 3.0, 512MB, 80GBHDD and XP Pro. Its been fun, and having Dell's has been great. Oh yeah, because a saleman cut my boss some stupid deal, we ended up with 6 Compaq machines that are almost identical in specs to the GX260 machines, and they are noticeably slower and buggier.
