I replaced my older garage computer with a newer faster unit, and a flat screen monitor to replace the old CRT chunk.
The computer is a 2.8 Gig machine with 2 Gig of RAM. Really all I needed. I have a wireless adapter so it's connected to the network. It's also wirelessly connected to the printer inside, same as my desktop and laptop, and I can file share between this computer and all the PCs in the house. Makes looking up something very easy. I found someone interested in the machine I had in the garage and after they buy it the new setup will only have cost me $5. I need to get a track ball mouse with a scroll wheel though since those are made now and it would be nice to have. [IMG]http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m242/durango_boy/GarageComputer.jpg[/IMG] |

Look's like a nice mouse you have now. I've never used one like that but they've always intrigued me.

They are nothing really that special but they are perfect for a computer where you don't have the most room for a mouse or the best surface. Plus removing the red ball is very easy for cleaning and that also makes it better than a movable mouse. The downside is scrolling. If you use a scroll mouse then you'll feel lost when you want to scroll a page up or down. I found out they make a new version that has a scroll wheel, and I plan to upgrade because scrolling has become very needed with today's online bulletins and forums. |

Sweet! I just ordered a little Asus netbook to haul around - I imagine it will get some garage duty as well.

Good deal, Matt. But I couldn't be without the scroll function on my mouse.
