I have up for grabs an Acer Pentium III Travelmate. It is in full working condition and is quite speedy, it is running Windows XP.

It currently has :

Intel Pentium III 850 MHz - Expandable to 1 GHz
192 MB of PC100 RAM (1x128, 1x64) - Expandable to 1 GB using 2 16-chip 512MB SO-DIMMs
20 GB IBM Travelstar 4200RPM Hard Disk - Expandable to any 2.5" ATA/100 Hard Disk
8x Toshiba DVD-ROM - Expandable to Superdrive
8MB Rage Mobility - Same chipset inside of the 500 MHz iBooks
Windows XP Professional
14" 1024x768 TFT LCD screen, no dead pixels.
About 7 pounds, 1.6" thick.

I also can throw in an extra LCD panel for this model, and keyboard, as I have a nice pile of spares.

It includes the AC adapter and one dead battery.

Best offer gets it. For trades, I'm looking for :
Sony PSPs, iPods, AGP PC video cards BETTER than a 9800XT, LARGE hard disks (either 2 250GB models or one 400GB+), DDR RAM, modded PS2s, Gamecubes, Xboxes, LCDs, AGP G4 towers, anything for G4 towers, iBooks, Powerbooks, etc.

Will entertain ANY offer. And I do mean any, can do lets say, a Nintendo DS and some cash. Can do partial trades. All cash must be in MO format, I do not have nor trust Paypal after a guy screwed me out of a Playstation 2 and they didnt do ANYTHING.

I'm looking to get around 240-250 shipped for this machine, or a trade for around its value.

FYI - From now on, I ship after I receive the item if its a trade. I got rather burned on a trade I made for a AGP G4 tower, it arrived beat up, with a power supply in it that was marked DEAD, when I was told it worked beautifully. o.O I apolgize if this is an inconvenice, but I will not troll you. So dont worry, I have done LOTS of stuff with many people on these forums, inclduing mlrproducts below me, California, Onizuka, and many more, so many, that I've forgotten a lot. I also have eBay refs under darklost112.

I do physically have the laptop, as I actually got around 8 of these in a college surplus sale, and this one is an extra. I sold/gave to my family the other 5 working ones. These suckers last very well, and are very upgradeable, and quite nice and speedy. Depending on the offer, I will toss in an EXTRA LCD panel/casing/hinges, and an extra keyboard, which are the 2 most common broken parts on laptop computers.

How about a 350mhz/40GB/256MB Sawtooth that needs a new video card?

I'll think on it. What if its actually the mobo? I already have a dead G4 tower. >>

Lemme know. You'd pay shipping of course. Have anything else to throw in with it?

Its missing the hard disk connector that you can get on eBay. I am going to buy one and install it before it ships, but that could delay shipping.

Hey, does this laptop have a wireless card with it? I've got a Palm TX handheld in perfect condition, with WiFi and Bluetooth, with the aluminum hard case. If you're interested in trading, let me know. Thanks.

How about a 400MHz Gig-E like this:

400MHz G4
512MB memory
40GB hard drive
DVD-ROM
ZIP-100
GeForce 2 MX
(also have a Rage 128 original card with ADC connection)

Send me pics and you may have yourself a deal.

Do you have any small items to throw in with it? I just scored a Digital Audio G4 for 175, but I always love getting Powermac towers. I'm starting to get a big collection of em. o.o

I'll get pictures tonight.

I can throw in a USB 1.1 card with 2 ports, an Adaptec SCSI card (which shipped in the machine), a Pro Keyboard and mouse (original KB and Mouse that came with the G4), and a 10.3 Panther CD set with an iLife '05 DVD...how does that sound?

Perfect.

Unless Doug changes his mind, its his. Do you want me to order the hard disk connector piece? It will delay the shipping by over a week though, since I'd have to send an MO then wait, they're on eBay for around 10 bucks. I have no problem doing so, but it all depends on how long you want to wait. Please be sure to read the edits I made at the top.

By connector do you mean the data ribbon? If it can read the hard drive as it is and the connector is just hardware to keep it in place, i'll worry about it later...if it prevents it from reading the hard drive, I can wait the extra time as long as communication lines stay open.

It goes between the hard disk and the mainboard, so it is a needed part. I'm just gonna "borrow" it from my brothers so it doesnt delay you, nor this trade. Once I get the tower, I'll ship it right out. I plan on taking it to a UPS store or something and most likely getting it professionaly packaged, since I just moved and threw out all my packaging stuff from the moving boxes (Dumb me)

I hope this isnt a problem, its just now I'm very paranoid, and I dont really need two dead GigE towers. >.> The dead one currently is just sitting on a shelf, rotting away.

If you have Jaguar or 10.0, 10.1 discs that you no longer want, I'd really love to have those, I really wanna XPostFacto a 8500 that has a 604e and see it running Jag.

I understand, and you've got better ref's than I do (All I gots is 4JNA and im_too_hyper that I've bought older powerbooks from) so I have no problem shipping first. I'll get pics tonight and if you like what you see, PM me your address. :)

The laptop is up for grabs again, unless Doug decides to continue through with the trade, and the local buyer that has expressed interest doesnt drop off the planet, like all my local buyers seem to do. o.o'
