I recently snagged a few Thinkpad x200 laptops at a great price, happy to pass one (or more) along for such a purpose for cheap.

These are really great machines, I love 'em. Compact laptops, 12" screen, no built-in optical drive (but very nice dock option is typically available on eBay for about $20). Core2Duo processor runs Windows 7 handily, and Linux dreamily.

$130 includes the laptop, blank 160GB drive, 2GB memory, power adapter, somewhat-functional battery. And some advice on getting it set up if you like! (Plus you're welcome to borrow my dock if needed eg to install an OS.)

Hello hello--

I'm trying to find an old PC (preferably a laptop, for the size) to set up as a shared computer for my house. Nothing fancy, just reasonably reliable. We need to run some software on it that's windows-specific, so macs are out. Got one in the bottom of your closet? If so we can try to work out some sort of trade or price, possibly.

Let me know...
