I was hoping that my parents would get me a new computer to take to college but they said that they cannot afford it. I am sure that I will be the only kid showing up without a new laptop or desktop. I have saved a few bucks, and am hoping to find something reliable and cheap to buy.

I came across a website that sells used dells and used poweredge servers for a fraction of what it would cost to buy new. I have just enough money in the bank to buy one and to have a few bucks in my pocket until I start my job on campus. My used dell should arrive about a week before I have to leave for school, so I will be able to check it out before leaving.

If this used dell is not going to be able to keep up with me and my work, I do not know what I will do. I think that the library has computers but who wants to be walking all the way to the library when you have a paper to type up or you need to do some research late at night.

If the used poweredge servers not going to be enough so that I can store everything on it, I am wondering if I can put it all on an external hard drive to help it out. I am just going to cross my fingers and pray that the used dell I ordered is everything that I need and maybe a little more.
