[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 889986, member: 56379"] Two (maybe three) of the big cost issues with these computers are: - no hard drives (small 10-20gig used IDE hard drives cost a lot more than you would expect)...OWC sells new 80gig IDE drives for $46. - depending how much ram the computers have...PC100 or PC133 ram is not cheap either (OWC sells 256meg for $14, and 512meg for $26)..even used it's not cheap. - the original poster has no operating system install disks. So technically, to be totally legal, each computer needs it's own single user install disks...or the OP needs to purchase a 5 user license. Add up the cost of a hard drive. maybe additional ram to run Tiger, and licenses for the OS...and it's going to be tough to make a profit. - Nick [/QUOTE]
