Picked up a Panasonic Toughbook CF-51 for $15 with no adapter. Picked up a universal adapter for $50 and it works great, threw in an extra 512mb stick i had to up it to 1gb and threw on windows 7.

Also picked up an older imac (the bubbly colorful ones) for $5. I'm installing OSX 10.1 on it now, since I coudn't stand the OS 9.2 crap.

Edit: Hmm..meant to put this in off topic >_<

Agreed... I would have snagged it too. Though the power supply seems like a bit of a rip. Any old power supply should have worked as long as it carried enough amps, similar volts, and you had the correct plug/polarity.

I have no intentions of keeping it. I have 30 days to find a better option, hopefully i can come up with something on the internet.

Yeah, I'm stoked on these.

Edit: I found an adapter online for $20. Bought it, now gotta wait 2 weeks for it to get here. Then i'll return the other one.
