Had the Craigslist deal of the century for me regarding computers
My uncles hard drive was starting to fail, so I swapped over his failing hard drive to another to get him by and started looking for a replacement as his CPU benchmark is only 1800 (a decent $200 computer nowadays benches at around 2000). Couldn't find anything local, so looked out of state for the heck of it. Found a listing that seriously looked like a scam, and almost didn't reach out to the guy...
My PC's current benchmark
Mom's PC's current benchmark
He had multiple i5 PC's for $50 each. Grabbed 5x and a laptop (i3) for $300
Dell Optiplex 3010 (1x)
Dell Optiplex 3040 (4x)
The i3 laptop benches at 3000, nothing too terrible, but hey, christmas gift for my sister :D
PC Replacements - 1x for my uncle, 1x for my mom, 1x for me
Possible MAME machines - 2x lol
Can't wait to add SSD's to these and get them set up! Already have a 480GB SSD in my pc and a 240GB SSD in moms. Just gotta do some cleaning :)
Not bad seeing the 70 mile one way drive =) $35ish in gas

Very Nice Haul. Just remember Dell uses super cheap peal and stick thermal grease.
