But i guess if you get mad enough or if you buy something new you just toss stuff out...
So im walking my dog around the apt complex and i see this guy carrying a computer over to the dumpster, he sets it down says a few swear words and walks away. Nothing special ive seen people yell at computers all the time. So i walk over and look into what this guy threw away. Here is the specs:
First off its nothing special cause the manufactor is...
eMachines
T2792
Windows Xp Home
2.70GHz Intel Celeron Processor
CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive 48x Max write/16x Max read
80 GB Hard DRive Ultra DMA
3D Intel Extreme Graphics AGP
10/100 Ethernet / 56k
256MB DDR Ram
6 USB Ports
Floppy drive
So its nothing really awsome or extreme, my guess is that he just got tierd of it or else he upgraded to something better and doesnt strip spare parts. I have an old graphics card laying around and could toss some more ram in it and possible have an ok desktop machine for heather to have.
So whats wrong with it? Well ill tell you:
Plug it in and boot it up
It gives me an error that windows did not shut down properly and would you like to boot into safe mode.
Booting into safe mode / normal boot / booting from CD ALL result in the machine shutting down..
Now, the light on the front of the machine stays lit up, the power supply fan keeps spinning but the monitor and the cpu fan all shut off.
My guess is that there is a problem with the power supply, any of you guys/gals have anything else i can try to see if thats not the case?
Oh and for those of you wanting to know how my mustang is comming along, here is what i did this weekend:
Ok so i removed the seats:

I removed the oldest carpet and mold infested sound deading material i have ever seen, 60 years of the same carpet ftl. Here is what i found underneath:

Everything looks "good" except for the passanger backseat floor:

Yes... you can see the floor and there are nice long cracks. Looks like im going to have to weld a new back floor panel on.
So i took some simple green and a hard brush and rubbed out all of the dust/mold/dirt and took a shop vac and sucked out all the water/dirt/grim/ etc. It looks like alot of places the paint / coating on the shell has cracked and bubbled. My overall plan is to place down a new rear quarter panel for the cracked part, place down new sound / heat deading material and place some fresh new carpet with new seats (not the old style but more modern bucket seats).
One last pick for those who like candy apple red ;)
