I would, but the root of me selling it is the fact that I don't like to keep the same computer for more than three weeks or so. :o

So, would you be interested in trades for anything other than a Mac/Custom PC/Server?

I have a bunch of portable stuff that I would be willing to trade for it. If you're interested in any of them, just PM or post back.

iPod Touch 8 GB

Nokia N800

Sony PSP

Nintendo DS Lite

And some EXTREMELY old Compaq Presario laptop thing. (Not even sure if it deserves the word "computer" as it has 32 MB of RAM.)

I also have a lot of Wii and Xbox 360 games.

Thanks!

Well, followers of this thread, I've had way more interest than I thought. Therefore, I'm taking... Uh... bids? to see who has the coolest trade. No one really has dibs, sorry.

It's 1AM, I'm going to bed. PMs replied to maņana. :)

Well... I woke up this morning to the sound of my dad stealing RAM from my optiplex for his desktop lol so I guess I'm out, but good luck! This would be a sick Linux box for maybe Ubuntu or Suse!

So would I. We all have our quirks.

Still up for trade... BTW, Ryan T., check your PMs.

Oh, by the way, check this out. THIS is your Linux/Suse beast.

Eh, it was worth a shot. I'd have to throw in a wireless card in anyways so that was for the drop from $300. I also accidently looked for T42 on ebay :o

Why? It has wireless...

You didn't put that in the OP. A lot of IBM's were possible to order without wireless so I thought it didn't have it, since you put in the FSB and all.
