Title: [WTB] Looking for old pentium 1/2 laptop
Post by: ReCat on May 31, 2013, 10:05:03 PM
Hi.

I used to have a Dell XPI Pentium 1 90MHz and 32MB of ram, but it was stolen from me by some idiot right on the day I got the oh-so-nostalgic Windows 98SE running on it. This was a while ago.

Just wondering if anyone on the forums has a similar old laptop, because I'd like to buy one. Just for old times sake. ;)

Typically anything with Pentium 1 or Pentium 2, or that uses EDO Ram or SD Ram (PC100). HDD isn't necesarry, and viruses or horribly slow OS doesn't matter either. (Duh :P)

Edit: I can also offer for trade, some OEM windows serials, or videogame gift codes that came with my Saphire 7950. (Far Cry, Bioshock infinite and Crysis 3) I give first if you're a trusted member.

I got a P3 with a failed battery that has a WinME key on it. Still works on AC. Currently has XP on it. Dvd and CDrw (2 drives, not combo, 2 slots.)

Yall's stuff too new. :P

Please list your prices, though. How much for the P3? I might be interested.

I have a Satellite Pro 405CS.

It's working, no OS, with charger.

Make an offer.

0.1 BTC?

How about .4 and I ship it Monday via USPS?

Shipping is going to be half of that with this tank.

I think $25 is fair, where else can you find one?

Tempting, but I don't have that kind of money right now. I'm only a student. :P I've found one with HDD/OS and original PCMCIA ethernet cards for 25 on craigslist before. (That's the one that was stolen)

i've got a Toshiba Tecra8000 that may fit the bill- pentium II with 64mb ram that's in near new condition collecting dust. I'd assume windows98 is installed and I don't have the charger but it looks to be a standard 15v 3a charger. If interested make an offer.

edit: changed link and specs- originally looked up the wrong model- it's the PAT800u-B951

Hmm I'll definitely keep it in mind! Ill wait around for any better offers for now since I don't have much BTC to spend until a week or two from now anyways .

I can also offer for trade some OEM Windows 7 Ultimate serials, I believe I have one unused one remaining, or videogame gift codes that came with my Saphire 7950. (Far Cry, Bioshock infinite and Crysis 3) I give first if you're a trusted member.

I found a great one that's just like the one I used to have on eBay, going with that one. Thanks for the offers, guys!
