Posted by Billy on June 8th, 2010 When you’re working under one of the best companies in the world, you tend to be proud on what you do. Especially those under the writing industry, when the pSeries Servers were released a lot of company got them. This in turn enhanced their production rates. Personally I own a Used pSeries to write different articles and submit them on my deadlines. It is a very convenient thing to use; this unit is very fast and reliable. You won’t be getting any complaints from me. Before the units I use were pretty slow, the processing speed was dull and an application takes minutes before loading. Those days were hell, especially when you’re trying to meet a deadline.
It’s a good thing that I managed to get this unit for a cheaper price. With all my workloads piling up before me, I need a dependable partner to process them all. My boss has also been deeply impressed by my performance; I just hope that he gives me some bonus after I finish all of my projects. A little motivation helps a lot especially in our line of work. Regarding my unit, we’re a perfect team, as long as I have him by my side I have nothing to fear! Except maybe…my boss of course.

Posted by Billy on December 31st, 2009 I knew that I might be able to find some spare parts at the swap meet so I set out for the three hour drive on that Saturday morning. I would have never guessed that in addition to the spare parts for poweredge servers that I found, I also got six used servers that were in excellent condition.
I know that people usually deal in car parts at swap meets but it was becoming more and more common to find computer parts and such at them too. I had only had luck with swap meets a few times before and since I was not really doing anything, decided to set out for this one and it paid off.
I own four different computer shops and we repair many items for our customers. We also sell used computer pieces like used servers, desktops, laptops and routers. I knew that with a little work and cleaning up the used poweredge servers could be worth a lot of money at one of my shops.
I made a great deal with the guy was selling them and drove back home to start the refurbishing process on the used servers so that I could recoup my money on them and a few thousand more.
Posted by Billy on December 30th, 2009 My only request for my computer guy was to keep the cost as low as possible. I did inform him that we had a budget and his fee would have to be paid out of the budget as well. He let me know that he had a really good company that he wanted to use for most of the purchases and they were really reasonable. I could only hope that he was right.
After the first few large purchases were made, and the first few labor bills were paid for the computer guy, I was feeling better. He had bought some used hp servers at a remarkably low price and installed them very quickly since he had installed them so many times before.
I started telling all my friends about the price that my computer guy had paid for the used hp servers and they were shocked. They all asked me to get the name of the company he had used so that they could give it to their computer teams. Four of my friends wound up using the same company to get used proliant servers at really good prices and I also purchased some used proliant servers to have in my storage room for backups.
Posted by Billy on December 21st, 2009 The poweredge servers that were on sale at the store are all gone. I thought that by getting there early in the morning, I would have really good chance of getting one. Of course, the saleslady that I talked to told me that they had a line outside the building before they even opened. I guess that I did not think that there were that many people who noticed such great buys when they see it.
I had gotten the flyer from the dell repair store about three days earlier about the big sale on the poweredge servers and was not sure if I really wanted one or not. I told my boss about the sale and he asked me to go by and get one for him. He thought that it was a great deal and he said that since I was planning on going anyway, and the limit was two that I should just get his too.
I guess that he might be a little upset with me for getting to the dell repair store so late, but I was also picking up his dry cleaning and coffee before heading here so it is technically his fault. If I had come straight here I might have been able to get at least one of the poweredge servers for one of us, I would have given it to him probably.
Posted by Billy on August 29th, 2009 A router is a device that carries forward the data packets through a certain specified network. It is connected with two networks that is, it could be attached with LAN’s or with WAN’s as well. There are different kinds of routers available in the market but CISCO Routers are considered as the best one. If you want to have a setup of computers and you wanted to have networking within them then you should go for CISCO Routers.
If you don’t want to buy new ones then you can also consider the option of used Cisco routers. It would not only reduce your budget and would allow you to invest this amount of money on some other important place. But while buying such kind of used machine or machine’s part, you should have to keep one thing in your mind that it should be in a good condition. Otherwise you may have to bear heavy repairing expenses that would cost more than the new one.
So you have to be very careful wile buying used things that either they can perform their work easily or not. In case of CISCO, if you get any kind of problem then you can get assistance by Cisco repair center as well. They would suggest you that either you have to go with the repairing or you have to dispose out that product. It’s a kind of facility that is being provided to you by CISCO to its valued customers. The company wanted to have a very good relation with its customer that’s why they try their level best to give maximum facility to their customer.
Posted by Billy on August 27th, 2009 As computer technology moves forward every day, something new and better is created. If you bought one of the iseries servers, then there was probably something bigger and better the following day. If there was something better than what you had, wouldn’t you want it? That is not always the case with technology. Some people are very happy with what they have. If it is not broke then do not fix it that is usually the saying.
I had just bought an ibm computer, when the next day they launched a new version of it. I really liked the used ibm that I had gotten at a garage sale. The old owner was probably getting the newer version. I was happy with the used ibm though, there really was not anything wrong with it, other than it was a later model then what was currently out.
So, if it is one of the iseries servers, or a used ibm computer, you need to see if you are comfortable with what you have and then decide if you need the newest and bigger and better thing. Or if what you have is working just fine. If it is working just fine, then I say keep it until it gives you a reason to get rid of it.
Posted by Billy on August 23rd, 2009 I bought a used dell monitor at a garage sale last year, and stuck it up in the attic just in case mine ever quit working. I had completely forgotten about it until I was up there getting my Christmas decoration out for the holiday season. It was just sitting there all covered in dust when I wondered if I could sell it to make a little extra cash.
I put an ad in the paper, and received three calls wondering if I also had used poweredge servers. I of course told them that I did not. After the third call, I got online to see what a used poweredge server was. I found a company that sold them for a great price and decided to order one to see if I could make some money from it, since no one seemed to want the used dell monitor that I did have.
When I received it in the mail, I put that ad in the paper and sold it in less than two hours, for double the money I had paid for it. I knew that I could have sold at least ten more, if I had them so I ordered ten more used poweredge servers to sell to people before Christmas and I would make enough to pay for every gift I needed to buy.
