Lol, now this has got me wanting to collect netbooks... :p Too bad it's only getting amazing as all the manufacturers are phasing out their netbook lines in favor of tablets and convertibles... Sure, we still have ultrabooks, but it just isn't the same. Seems $399 is starting price for a...

I'm pretty sure I could run it on the Acer Aspire One I had around the same time as when this one was built. (although it looked to be about an inch wider, but a lot thinner!) I was hoping maybe I just hadn't found the right graphics drivers since the screen always looks squished, like it's a...

I might try upgrading to 7... I really wish I could use it as a light gaming machine, but GTA III won't even run on it. :c

I finally got XP on it, can't go Linux because I plan on using it as a diagnostic companion for my New Beetle when I get it. (The tool only runs in Windows.) I can't upgrade to a higher version because it only has one gig of RAM, it can take two but I don't have a 2GB for it. :c

Not sure how folks around here handle non-Mac stuff being conquested and whatnot, but today I "traded" (More like was constantly buggered into trading...) my Thinkpad x61t for my sister's Dell Inspiron Mini 10. It's the Nickelodeon edition, which I'm not really a big fan of... I plan on...

Thanks! And yeah, I love the iBook line, so I guess it's only natural that I love these too! :p If I don't end up having to sell the Thinkpad back to pay off eBay, I plan on using the MacBook for light video editing and the like as the built-in iSight records videos far more fluidly than my...

Definitely! The battery still gets about three hours of charge. It isn't the original, but IMO that's excellent for a laptop from 2006, as is the performance. It runs Spiral Knights (A game some friends and I play together) just as well as my 2.4GHz/4GB Thinkpad does, and honestly as of late my...

UPDATE!!! After attempting to repair the keyboard, failing, panicking and thinking I had destroyed it (Turns out I just had the RAM in wrong!) I decided the Pro wasn't for me and that it belonged with someone who has the skills to put it back in top condition. I swapped the Pro to Anonymous...

Ooh, a PC in an iMac case? Always wanted to do this! I've wanted to make a gaming PC... Perfect union of function AND form. <3

Makes me think of things like the flower power iMacs, and I KIND OF like it, haha! Shame we can't get repro clear outer shells and have the patterns on the inside... Maybe with a dim light shining inside. :p (It'd be an interesting way to revive compacts with bad plastic!)

Haha, thanks! : D It actually already has Mavericks on it from the last owner but I think they left a 10.7 install image on the desktop. :p

FINALLY, nearly a year (or perhaps longer than a year?) after that white MacBook failed to show up in the mail, I've managed to nab SOMETHING Apple with an Intel chipset... As the title implies, it's a 2008 MacBook Pro non-unibody. 2.4GHz, 3 GB of RAM and a 200GB hard drive... No powerhouse by...

I almost had complete, working Plus with a printer as a swap for my DualUSB but the two hour drive killed that deal, and I once almost had two G4 towers for $10 each. I think generally people overprice Macs because they think they can fool less intelligent people into thinking a ten year old...

Alright, so I got Jrus' 600E and I was testing out a Windows 2000 CD on it (Until I find OS2) and I couldn't get anywhere because the enter button doesn't work. I have a spare from one of the parts laptops, but the issue is that one of the screws on the bottom of the laptop you have to unscrew...

Yeah, I was afraid of that... That's gonna' make it a lot harder to get an OS onto it. :c

Now that you mention it Cory, Warp would actually be way more interesting. I hadn't remembered it even existed until just now when you mentioned it, but it would certainly be fun to mess around in it! : D And ehh, if I had $230 to blow I'd just buy another smaller Thinkpad, probably an x series...

Actually I've seen a 600X with some 500MB of RAM upgraded to Windows 7, and I'm about 98% sure it has built in wifi because it has an extra window on the bottom and there's a chip underneath labeled "IBM PCI Modem with Voice". - Upgraded 600X running Windows 7 EDIT: When I try to turn it on I...

So I made a swap today, and got a few as-is 600 series Thinkpads. The 600E is missing pretty much everything but the main chassis and the 600 isn't much better, though it does also have the upper lid. I have a screen for the 600 as well but I'm hesitant to put it in considering the metal rim has...

I agree wholeheartedly, that G3 compact looks amazing. xD

Hey, a guy can dream, ehh? :p
