The boss man wants me to fix 10 PC's in the next hour and a half so we can go grab an after work beer.

diagnose and replace broken parts and re-install OS if necessary. Lucky I've got enough spaces on the workbench to have all 10 going at once.

im assuming they are fast enough to install an OS in an hour. I wish I had a large workbench (mine at home barely fits my PC)

Imaging off the network takes about 45 mins. Half are already re-imaging because they just had the boot order set incorrectly and the other 5 look like dead RAM.

New parts are already in and are running memtest and look like they're fine now.

They probably won't need to be re-imaged so I'm probably gonna finish early.

I've never had memory die on me (even though its over clocked) now motherboards on the other hand....

That's not too bad for the OS.

I've never users a network to image a PC (where I live I have to choose from dialup, satellite, or a mobile hotspot) when my classes that deal with networking being I'm going to have to buy some equipment.

This client has 44 thousand PC's, so I've seen my fair share of faulty RAM :P and I only deal with the ones that are still in warranty.

That's like 44k times more computers than I use. Well I have to get up in 4.5 hours so bye.
