Babboo's Bargain BinThis machine is discounted due to:Absolute/CompuTrace enabled in Bios.
I've contacted Absolute support, and they've assured me(1) The system was de-registered by its prior owner, and(2) Due to the system's age, the bios setting cannot update to reflect that.
So it is safe to use in a homelab setting, but due to this defect, it is discounted.Babboo's Bargain Bin benefits the Natural Resources Defense Council.Help me keep these working machines out of a landfill.

If you have questions prior to purchase, I am happy to answer them. However, I offer no warranties or guarantees for the software installed.
Why buy from me?I spent a decade working in systems administration and software development, leaving the industry to study environmental conservation. I think computers are groovy and e-waste is tragic. My goal is to sell you something you'll actually use.
