    Just Purchased 160 Pentium Pros

    Hi everyone, just thought I'd post my recent score. I had the opportunity to purchase about 160 Pentium Pros from a client of mine. Here's the pic to prove it:

    I'd rather not say what I paid, but the price was very fair for both of us. This just goes to show that they're still out there and anyone can find them with a lot of hard work and a bit of luck

    Lest he didn't say he had to change his pants.

    That would've been disturbing.

    That's got to be hands down the best score I've ever seen on this board.

    Did you have to get a bunch of systems and dig them out or did he just sell a box of used CPUs?

    Thanks guys, I actually bought them as just CPUs, not as complete systems. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to pull them from a system myself, but I'm still happy either way. As for their value in gold, I actually sold them outright to a buyer here and got pretty close to $2650
