I got a Dell Inspiron 8100 yesterday, it looks to have a bad display (white screen) the VGA output on the back works fine. anyways this book has no devices (floppy,ram, cd, batt) but I was able to pick the book up for 100 bucks. Today I been able to get a floppy drive, cd-rom drive, batt, dockstation, (I have ram and hard drive) and spent about 60 bucks for the parts, so I am now about 160 in cost for the book. Still not bad. looking around I found I might be able to get a UXGA screen for about 250-300 bucks or a SVGA for about 200 bucks, so worse case 460 bucks for a 1.13Mhz P3 notebook, not to bad and I get to fix it up...
