FS Acer Extensa 5420-5687 Laptop 2008 Model $300
Bought 2 years ago this month. The computer I used for CL, so it has had a good amount of run time. Some wear on the palm-rests, keys a bit worn from use. Few minor scratches on case. Screen is perfect. No dead pixels, CCFL's are still very bright. (brighter than my new LED Asus)
When I did the drive and ram upgrade. I pulled the CPU heat pipe and cleaned the North bridge and CPU of the cheap thermal pad that came from the factory. It now has Arctic cool MX2 paste on both. (Dropped full throttle temp almost 15deg C). This is a very good computer. I've run many OS's on it. OEM Vista, Vista 64 Business, Seven32 Home, Seven64 Ult, Linux Mint, Fedora 11. All have run perfectly. Seven 32 runs the best.
The only negative of this computer. The plastic cover over the web cam got scratched and was distorting the camera. I cut that piece of plastic off. Now it is fine.
CPU AMD Turion 64x2 (TL-58) 1.9ghz
upgraded RAM 4gigs Corsair DDR2 (2-2gig sticks)
upgraded Hard Drive Seagate 200gig 5400rpm
DVDrRW/CDrRW (low use)
WiFi Intel 802.11b/g
LAN Atheros Gigabit Base T
Crystal Eye Webcam
15.4" WXGA CrystalBright LCD (CCFL)
On board Marvel 56k Modem
Multi Card Reader
4 USB 2.0 ports
S-Video out.
OEM Vista Home premium on fresh format. (Pictures show Linux)
All boxes, Manuals, Recovery Discs, Power Supply, Original Receipt included. $300 Shipped

how about a deal on this to run my "touch screen" sitting on my desk=D I would need your help setting it up of course
If this will work and you can help me I can paypal $$ over until we can meet up. We can wire this up in the Condo in about 4 mos when we head over that way. Actually I may be up your way this weekend visiting the moms if she is around we can meet up.
