Check it out

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3045076337&category=1484&rd=1

with shipping charges it came out to about 134 dollars with insurance.
Should be waiting on me at home this evening according to the ups tracking number page.

now which version of Linux should I install on it???? Hmmmmm. ;)

probably gonna put slackware or JAMD-Linux on it.
