    I really think that would be the best thing for EcoSafe. He's gearing up to do hundreds. Imagine if you had a hundred of one particular model come in.

    You could load the same image of an OS from a thumb drive and just go from machine to machine. It probably wouldn't take more than fifteen minutes per unit to load the OS. Maybe another five or ten to download the most recent updates & drivers on a high speed internet connection ?

    If you could tweak the image to include the latest updates & drivers along with an unattended install you could really bang em' out !

    ETA: Come to think of it you could load an OS onto ten or twenty drives at a time with the right gear but that would be more of a capital investment.

    Would that be that the manufacturers & larger refurbishers do it ?

    Seems like any other method would just be too slow if they're doing serious volume.
