Detailed review
This machine has been my workhorse. Whenever every other computer around me failed, this one was ready to go and start troubleshooting. It has had more installs of different OS's than I can count on all of my appendages. It is a behemoth by modern standards, but as long as it keeps on trucking I can not justify a new lappy. The only thing that makes it show its age is really good video and bad flash. I keep it pretty barebones so it stays pretty spry.

Intel Core @ 1.8GHz
