Thanks for the interest.
Hi folks
The hard-drive in my long-serving Dell 9400 failed a few months ago. At first, I wasn't going to fix it, but then I got a good deal on a new hard-drive and decided to try to reload everything.
Anyway, after getting things mostly back to operating condition, I decided that I was going to treat myself to a new shop computer instead of using the old Dell.
So, I was wondering if the old one would be worth anything to someone here, before moving on to EBay, etc. I had used it for all STAMP (and others) programming, editing, CAD, internet access. Used it as a portable during training and on-site work and as a desktop back at the office.
Here's what I would include:
Dell Inspiron 9400, 2 GB RAM, new 500 GB SATA hard-Drive, 17" diag. screen, wireless, NIC, CD-DVD drive, Battery good.
I have a complete set of Dell-issued WIN XP recovery disks, plus downloaded SP3 on DVD.
Includes power supply. System is recognized on Dell out-of-warranty site as far as downloads and access to knowledge base.
System will boot to windows, but some additional playing with drivers will be required. At this moment, THIS IS NOT A READY-TO-GO-SYSTEM.
Also included is a second, Toshiba laptop which has some motherboard issues and WILL NOT BOOT. It was a work computer so the hard-drive (IDE 100 GB) was removed before it left the premises.
Its a Toshiba Satellite M60-183, Model PSM60E-1E701SFP, 2 GB Ram, originally sold in Europe. Until the failure to boot problem, it had worked very well. Has a 17" diagonal screen, CD-DVD drive, wireless, NIC. Battery is fair and includes the power supply.
I'm hoping to get $150 for the pair, if anyone is interested. I'll ship anywhere its legal and buyer pays shipping. I'd suggest Canada Post Expresspost. Unfortunately I will not be able to provide support for these machines. They have a classic "tail-light warranty". ( warranty lasts until I can't see the tail-lights on the mail truck!").
Ask any questions here so everyone will have the same information.
Cheers,
Tom Sisk
