got a newish dell dimension 4500 in that was knocked out by a
lightning strike......i got the job of disposing of the box

the mobo is definitely dead but all the majors, hd, both cd drives,
floppy ram and video board are ok...havent tested the modem and s/card
as yet but s/card prolly ok......modem i expect to be fried .....

i could sell it at a very low price [with a statement as to its
origin], use it as a testing station or maybe hire it out as a fill in
for people who cant do without a computer........

what would opinion be on putting it back into service for the above
applications.....
thanks for any and all replies

hey relloman,

I had a lightning strike also. The only things that survived were the
hp printer and monitor. Tech support for hp helped get the printer
working. Anything with a circuit board was fried.
