I have another presario, a 1245 333mhz, that I tried to repair today. The original owner mutilated it...I had to transplant various parts from another dead one to get it working and it still has major power issues...but it could be a candidate for some kind of franken-project

notfred: That's a great deal!

Even better than my HP Pavilion 700mhz w/14" screen, 512mb, DVD, docking station, etc. I bought it for $265 and dropped a $100 hard drive into it.

Of course, the best deal is the brand new T41 that I'm getting for free. (Got promoted at work... Downside is that I have to give it back if I quit. )

 

[ElFenix]

i thought you had a laptop

 

[CptObvious]

I bought that exact same laptop for my sister. Too bad it cost $1400 a few years ago

 

[777php]

ebay? Good deal.

 

[NutBucket]

Damn. That's an awesome deal.

 

[iamme]

Thinkpad T series rock. good choice!

 

[amdskip]

Thats about the exact same laptop I have and it does everything I need. I also paid twice as much

 

[RossMAN]

Not bad, not bad at all.

 

[aircooled]

Good deal.

I just got very lucky and picked up a Toshiba 8100 (700mhz) 20 gig HD 256 ram w/dock for $100

My friends company was selling their older equipment.

 

[Knightlife]

Voodoo M355 here. They emailed me and said they could upgrade it to a Dothan now, but I don't have the money (just graduated/no job...)

 

[Crucial]

Damn you guys. I cant find a deal on a laptop to save my life.

 

[halik]

great deal
i got a toshiba portge p3 -500 or 550 for $120 off ebay while ago

 

[huesmann]

Where'd you get it, and can I get one too?

 

[wiredspider]

I want a cheap laptop too!

 

[Krazy4Real]

Good Deal.

 

[BullsOnParade]

That's exactly what i'm looking for too. Need to have something to be
mobile with during the day at school. Where'd you get a deal like that?

 

[LuNoTiCK]

I wouldn't mind getting a laptop for cheap right about now.
