[FP] Need some Deal-Finders to get busy!!!

Just checking in with Sarah See Profile and learned that the Foldy-Fund is sitting right about $552.00 and some change.

I'd like to get our promise fulfilled for ehansman See Profile to set her up with a new Foldy Boxen as mentioned here. --> »[FP-Board] Pre-Emptive Strike - New OP Questionnaire

If you deal-chasers can see what the current Windows-based deals are out there, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

I've seen better than this but this is about the best I can find today. Shipping and sales tax, if any , would have to be added.

Erin, will Home Premium work for you or do you need the additional capabilities of the full OS?

Re: [FP] Need some Deal-Finders to get busy!!!

That will be fine, sorto! I won't be doing anything special with it...it's just got to be able to see my wireless!
I'll pony up for a wireless adapter for the rig, if that's OK with the board?

Will you be OK on a machine without a monitor?

Re: [FP] Need some Deal-Finders to get busy!!!

Yes, I have a spare monitor. Thanks for checking!
If I really get lazy (the spare bedroom is seriously less than 15 feet from the living room) I can install a VNC program. I don't think it will come to that.

Re: [FP] Need some Deal-Finders to get busy!!!

Sounds like you are set then.

Is it a good idea for the Pres get the approval going for this quickly and gets all in motion for Erin to make the purchase and get reimbursed 'n all before the offer expires?

I, for one, think we oughta' move fast.

Re: [FP] Need some Deal-Finders to get busy!!!

Glad you woke me up Sunny. I realize we had the BOD approve Erin as a new OP, but I failed to get a general membership vote!

The purchase should be pre-approved based on the other thread, but I will use THIS thread to have the vote so folks can read all about it!!!



SO----- Please vote YES or NO to approve emansman as a new OP, AND to proceed with the purchase of a new Foldy Boxen for her to put to use!

I had difficulties with several different VNC clients while trying to set up Foldy4 monitorless. I finally went with sorto's suggestion of Logmein, which works fine. Of course, I had to temporarily hook up a monitor just to set up the new computer and Logmein.

BTW I vote ... yes!

 OK, the reason I asked that is because I remembered the problems Froggy had initially when he discovered he didn't have the remote desktop capability.

Good point, unless she has a port open on a KVM that would work.

 Well, since Sorto IM'd me and told me to vote on this, AND since I promised her I would do this when I got home from work, AND since I'm sticking to my word and have checked this out, AND since I really wanna go to bed and get some sleep, AND since the critters have all been fed and pottied, I guess that I'll put in my two cents' worth.

Re: [FP] Need some Deal-Finders to get busy!!!

Appreciate the suggestion, but the Dell was a Quad.
Quad deals are what has been doing the heavy lifting lately.

 I don't know if I can vote on this yet, but I say yes as well if so.

Also: In the future I pledge my help in hunting down a good deal on a system or parts of a system when needs be, I can definitely help on that!

For instance, look at this site for deals:

»www.techbargains.com/

I know of several other sites.

Anything I can do to help until I can get our three extra computers set up here for folding I want to do.
