For Sale allowed? - My wardriving laptop
NEC Versa 4050.
Bought a brand new OEM NEC battery for it less than a year ago, it's maybe been run down to 25% 5 times since I bought it. Runs OpenBSD great, I used BSD-Airtools with it, and this lappy's where a good 90% of my WiGLE points came from.
I've saturated the area near my home, and Wednesday was the last day of pizza delivery which means I'll be spending a lot less time on the side streets. Frankly, I'm out of the sport for a while and starting a new job that will probably be keeping me quite busy.
I know on paper it looks like a heap of crap laptop, but honestly, it was one of the best ones I've ever owned. Enough to make me shell out for a brand new battery! It goes several hours wardriving on a single charge, and the AC adapter is low draw and doesn't freak out my inverter the way that my newer laptop power supplies do. It's not good for much, but it's a great wardriving laptop.
Pentium 90
40MB RAM (8 on board with a 32MB upgrade card)
814MB HDD (plenty of space for any flavor of BSD or a smaller Linux distro and a suite of network recon and wireless tools and of course WiFi logs)
640x480 TFT, it's very clean, no scuffs or scratches
On-board sound, it plays 96KBPS Internet radio very nicely even with XFree running. Don't expect to store MP3's on the hard drive
The new battery runs it for well over 2 hours. I'm very impressed. It's not a refurb, not a third party.
The CMOS battery craps out if you go a few weeks without using it. Occasionally I've had to go in and reset the date and time. A minor inconvenience.
Docking station port, Serial, Parallel, IRdA, VGA, PS2 and 2 PCMCIA ports.
It has some version of Red Hat on it now. When I was using it, I had a 4GB drive installed with OpenBSD. That drive crapped out after a few years so back in with the original 814MB drive. No CD or FDD drive, and it's been stickered up. I can remove the stickers if you wish.
To install something you'll need to use a PATA (desktop IDE) to Laptop IDE adapter. You can find these for $4 to $15 in most computer parts stores.
For an extra $10 I can take the time to put the base install of OpenBSD 3.8 on it.

I can get better pics of the side and back if you want. All I have is a camera phone right now though. GPS and WiFi card not included.
Make an offer.

oooooh... very sexy lappy 
Anyways, once I get some moolah I might buy it for about $100...
I would say decent price b/c it has a new battery. w00t.
