Yep... Like I said before, motherboards do appreciate in value, while CPUs go down to near zero value. I just need to play it smart, and they do save quite bits of money. Every components I can still buy new except motherboard.

Are you sitting on a stockpile of ECS LGA1155 H61 motherboards?
I fear to see the Celeron G540 and Pentium G850 will remain in "launched" status up to 2020 (when Windows 7 ends all support), and by then, they all depreciate down to less than $5 shipped each on eBay, including new ones made in 2019. By 2020, I'm figuring out how many generations behind from Sandy Bridge I'll be with 2019 G850, and I'll tell people my processor is only 1 year old.
Nice fabrication, but I've never resold any computers in my life so far, actually (last used computer I sold was in 2008). I keep everything and then donate to recycling center later if zero value is reached. I have lots of LGA775 Allendales I don't need anymore.You... do know that's incredibly dishonest, right?
Oh, wait, you're the guy who sells used garbage as new.
It's intentional, POS cash register does not require i7, but single core G470 might also be not favorable option. They gave options for quad core i5 a dual coresJust asked the seller, my September 2015 built Celeron G540 came from NCR RealPOS 82XRT system. It was pulled out for parts due to damages in shipping, and it's new, never used. Nice...

See page 3. It sounds to me Celeron G470 and i7-2600 are avoided for new POS systems.
Yes, that's right. My biggest mystery question of the day is why some of them are still using Sandy Bridge CPUs? Is it because they're more compatible with Windows 7 than Ivy Bridge and Haswell?It's intentional, POS cash register does not require i7, but single core G470 might also be not favorable option.

They are not more compatible than ivy bridge or haswell, win has support for all of these.Yes, that's right. My biggest mystery question of the day is why some of them are still using Sandy Bridge CPUs? Is it because they're more compatible with Windows 7 than Ivy Bridge and Haswell?
Good point here. I wish Intel still sell new 2017 retail boxes of G540 for $24.99 or less.Reason why they are going with older specs is to minimize costs of anything that can be got for cheaper and will serve same purpose, since POS is not doing anything CPU intensive, they might get good rebates from Intel on CPUs and Q type chipsets on large orders of older stuff.
I am glad and wish they will never do exactly that. Some stores in my area were still selling 2006-07 Core II duo models in 2012 for as high as $100.Good point here. I wish Intel still sell new 2017 retail boxes of G540 for $24.99 or less.

Well to certain level buying used dell or hp office rig with westmere/sandy for $150-200 is good for many, stockpiling old cpus is not so good idea.Why bother? You spend money on an i5 you are set and don't have to scavenge old rubbish. There is a fine line between cheap and throw it in the bin for every product. Buying an old dual core from 2011 has crossed that line.
PoS systems suck anyways. They always did.I find it gratifying that something as powerful as Sandy Bridge is in some PoS systems. It seems like many of them use crap from 20 years ago. Gah.
POS terminal is quite expensive device but he thinks they do disassemble new units for no reason and sell parts on eBay so he can have $12 Celerons.PoS systems suck anyways. They always did.
Nothing to brag about. They are just milking it till the last drop.
It's 2017. For some reason people are still buying feature phones.
I honestly don't give a damn about it cuz it's 2017.

I believe it was already claimed out by insurance, so it's already paid to POS buyer free of charge, and maybe it heads to recycling center next. But still, don't expect to see many 2015-2020 Celeron G540s out there. Only less than 100 made per year. eBay sales history for G540 shows the one I have is the first 2015-built sold so far this year.POS terminal is quite expensive device but he thinks they do disassemble new units for no reason and sell parts on eBay so he can have $12 Celerons.
Can I use the POS system as a computer as well, besides as a cash register? Sounds like a combo.PoS systems suck anyways. They always did.

Yes you can use it most of the time as a computer, because it is one technically, it's basically industry-grade desktop with retail gear attached. I guess you for sure seen one in your grocery store.Can I use the POS system as a computer as well, besides as a cash register? Sounds like a combo.
Yes, that's what I thought, not cost-efficient to dissemble it. I wouldn't allow. But it was indeed pulled out, and photo shows it clearly (L538) using Haswell-die. 38th week of 2015 year.Edit: I have been working in several manufacturing firms, products never get scrapped just like that, insured or not, companies would go bankrupt if any new POS terminal damaged by shipping would be discarded. They replace the bad parts and it will be finally sold.
