Thank you for all the good memories.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, Betsy is my ~7 year old, triple-booted workstation. I was cleaning the computer command center (or nook depending on who is talking \ud83d\ude00 ) yesterday when the power switch on the Simba casing refused to work properly when I returned the chassis in the rack. I already took the casing apart but the switch is a one-piece deal and electricals is one area where I dont dare push my limited tinkering skills. This is the last straw for me so I decided to coax my Chief Financial Officer (CFO, aka Commander Wife-san) to finally approve Betsy&#8217;s upgrade. I am currently looking for an affordable barebones package (Chassis+Motherboard+Processor+RAM) since I will be reusing most of Betsy&#8217;s reusable components: the 60GB HDD and the DVD\/CD Writers. I am currently looking at buyqube.com&#8217;s offerings but I am still confirming if they would allow the removal of the HDD and Optical drive on their packages. <\/p>\n<p>For those interested, I am selling the remains of Betsy which is composed of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AMD Duron 800Mhz<\/li>\n<li>Redfox motherboard w\/ built-in video (32MB shared) and sound<\/li>\n<li>386MB SDRAM (256+128)<\/li>\n<li>52X CD_ROM Drive<\/li>\n<li>PCI Lan card<\/li>\n<li>USB-PCI 1.1 adaptor card (6 ports, i think)<\/li>\n<li>The darned Simba chassis<\/li>\n<li>Aged (read:Yellowish) Speakers, keyboard and mouse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All except the chassis switch and ethernet card is working since it has been a long time since I used it on a network. Based on current market price of the components, I am setting the asking price to Php2,000 (which is already a bargain price). I am also willing to add a 2GB Fujitsu HDD but it is missing a jumper but usable as a floppy disk since I sometimes use it with an external HDD enclosure. So if you are interested then do drop me note. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Btw, Lala and Paquito are the given names of my laptop and Ipaq. Once upgraded, Ol&#8217;Betsy is to be named Bettina. \/lol<\/p>\n<p>ciao!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, Betsy has finally decided that enough is enough.
