576418 2007-08-04 16:08:00 So I might be buying 32 computer from Auckland tomorrow. If so, I'd want to drive up there and get them. This leads to a question I simply can't answer.

Can they fit in my car?

It's a 1997 Honda Accord LXi. I can use all the seats and the boot if necessary, but if they can all fit in just the back seat and boot, that would be much better, as I could bring a friend along.

Does anyone know if I can fit them in? They are Dell Inspirons 2400s, plus others of the same size. That's a normal Mid-ATX PC. The combined weight is a bit under 250kg.

Get a spanner and leave the front (except yours) and rear seats home - You will be Sweet.....heck u might even fit the pallet in there as well !!!

The friend occupies too many cubic inches better used for tower space, besides, a "friend" consumes food, drinks, hotel/motel room too just about doubling your expenses.

Ditch him...unless it's a her and you're a him or vice-versa. :waughh:

576420 2007-08-04 21:16:00 You MAY just get them in the car, providing you ditch the friend. Otherwise, I would seriously consider hiring a van. It may be better if you just hire the van anyway (your chances of encountering an officer between Aucks and Welly are pretty high, even for just a random breath test) Myth (110)
576421 2007-08-05 03:11:00 Right, well, it seems it's dubious whether they will fit or not. Anyway, Mainfreight gives $212.51 for me on that link, so I'll just do that.

576422 2007-08-05 04:32:00 Don't you mean PCs rather than CPUs Beeswax? :lol: Getting a bit early in the morning?

Wait, it is just CPU's isn't it? I mean there aren't even any monitors etc. And not really, I usually clock in at around 3-3.30am:D

To PC techs, CPU = Processor = a small part inside the computer.

Calling the whole box the CPU is technically wrong, just as calling it the hard drive (equally common) is wrong.

Probably, but when freight is only $211, why bother?

576426 2007-08-05 11:43:00 Ic. I've always thought CPU=That big box that runs everything. beeswax34 (63)
576427 2007-08-05 12:18:00 It's a common idea, but completely wrong. Thankfully most people will still know what you mean.

I see I lost the auction. I bid up to $2420, and then gave up. Stuff paying $2900+ for that, I don't think it's worth it.
