Hmmm... It was 150MHz, had 32MB of RAM, and a 1.3GB drive, and the battery didn't hold a charge anymore... The laptop was more than 10 years old. I think $30 was a great deal for me, actually, considering I got it for free.

Ok guys, I think I may resurrect this thread

I just updated the pictures of my system. Added 2 X 500GB hard drives and a 22" Samsung LCD panel

Can only see 1 of the 500gb drives because the second one is under the DVD Burner at the top on the other vibration free mounts.

No worries mate, just check how cygnus did it. When you upload picture on imageshack, you'll get several links you can use. One of them is "hotlink for the forums", which you can copy and paste here..
