EKKK!!! First post at PCA! I've never posted much outside of ArsForum, so be kind.

I'm going to start a repair business soon, I'll be needing a cheapass laptop with a 56k card and lan card to download and install drivers and all that goodness. What's a good price for a little repair shop laptop?

Welcome to PCA ! :chug

Can't help you with the laptop info, but good luck

Look at the IBM thinkpads. I have 2 at work. You can get a P166mmx for 300ish. E-Bay generally is the best place to find them unfortunatly.

They are reliable as hell. We actually have 13 or so of them for people that wanna check thier lotus notes from home.

i may have a little p-100 lappy/32mb/~800mb - it's a canon innova book i think - it has a nic, 32k usr modem card, and a zip card with an external zip-100 - email me if you're interested and i'll see if i can find the manual with the specs

This may be more than you're willing to spend, but check this out. <A HREF="http://www.pcabusers.net/forums/showthr ... d=7324">My thread</A>

I do have a 10/100 NIC we can work into the deal. LMK via E-mail.

$300 bucks for a Thinkpad sounds good. I'm off to E-gay, your one stop shop for online fraud. Maybe I'll find someone decent with a good heatware record.

I have a Thinkpad 760XD, but I'm looking for $400 plus shipping. Its a 166MMX, 64MB of RAM, 2 3GB hard drives, 2 batteries, A/C adapter, CD-ROM, floppy (also have and external floppy for it), 1024x768 active matrix screen. It's in great condition, looks new. No OS installed on it though.

What happened to the OS?

Btw how do I post smiley's and stuff?

See for smilies: http://www.pcabusers.net/forums/index.p ... howsmilies

I fdisk/formatted the drives but never got around to installing Windows back on it.
