Old Laptop

[Robbie]

Hey,

Since getting a new laptop, I have an old one that is not being used. Any ideas what I could do with it? Can't sell it because; specs are shocking, theres 2 keys and a hinge cover and screw cover missing :P.

1.73ghz Celeron M
1.5gb ram.
60gb hdd.

Thanks.

Dan- it requires a certain processor and shiz.

Tried osx86 before, 'still waiting for root device' :(

I'd just run Linux mess about with web servers/file sharing etc.

Hmmm maybe like a media center for tv. So you can watch like iplayer in bed or films you have doownloaded ect.

And how old is the laptop? Give me a guidance price you would sell it for on ebay as a "slightly damaged" laptop please. :P

[Robbie]

Just over a year old. And um, idk I'd just wait for people to bid. 70, 80?

[Minstrels]

Hmm... £75?

[Robbie]

I'll get back to you on that. I had a mate say he was gonna offer earlier after he checked his bank :)

[Robbie]

Have you got a picture of it?

Out of interest if you do live down south, I think it was Essex or London how will you get it other than post? Me and and him could do it face to face if his friend doesn't want it. Just wondering because a lot of posts seem to be for the post count now and I'm sure even if Robbie did sell to his mate he wouldn't like you wasting his time.


I'll take one later.
Any updates yet about the photo and whether your mate is buying it? I presume it'll come with the charger?
