weirdstuff - silicon valley computer heaven.

So my PC (an old Pentium 450 or so) completely failed to turn on last night - power dead, unresponsive. So I went to check out getting a backup machine for moments like this at Weird Stuff Warehouse, which is located near me, in the heart of Silicon Valley, and which I'd heard good things about. Turns out their Sunnyvale warehouse is full of the best selection of old PC/Mac hardware and software I've ever seen. A very helpful employee picked out a Dell Dimension XPS 400, with a Pentium II 400, 12gb, 128mb of RAM, a 16mb TNT graphics card, ethernet, cd-rom, and sound card, for just $99. Sure, it's an old machine, but great value for web browsing and.. updating sites like this :P Weirdstuff also have a sealed bid sale which had some awfully weird+interesting archaic computing equipment when I checked it out. So.. fun if you like digging through old computer parts, f'sure, and a great place if you want to get a computer cheap for a needy friend or relative.
