Hi scoot.

What kind of computers are they? What are the motherboards, CPUs, and video cards in them? Overclocking the CPU is usually done through the BIOS, and a lot of manufacturers lock you out of that part of the BIOS to keep people from tinkering with the FSB and voltages (spoilsports!)
If you let us know what kind of hardware you're using I bet we can come up with some ideas for you

rofl.

Anyway they probably arent even worth overclocking chances are they are some basic Intel netburst core procs meaning they dont overclock well and run very hot.

Dell puts BIOS locks on so that people that want to overclock dont fry their motherboard or processor then Dell has to deal with them.
