Well I just stole a Dell Precision M60 for $130. It came with a 1.6GHz Pentium M, 15.4 SXGA, DVD/CD-RW, wireless, fully working battery, AC-adapter, and 128MB nVidia QuadroFX 700. The only thing it was missing was RAM and a HDD. Also all the USB ports on it didn't work, so I bought a 4 port USB PCMCIA card for $10 I also picked up 2x512MB of DDR-3200 SODIMMS for $30 shipped, and a 60GB 7200RPM drive for $35. So all in all, I only put $215 into this laptop.
Now my question is, is it worth upgrading the CPU to 2GHz? I can get a 755 for $50. It only takes 400MHz FSB CPUs, so pin-modding is out of the question.
