ZeroDamage December 26, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member December 26, 2008 Let me know if Dweezil doesn't want it. I may grab it for my mom. I've been looking for a good deal to get her one and this would work out for her. Does it have a modem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL December 26, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member December 26, 2008 I'm fairly interested and it looks likes a really good deal but I can't really do it at this time so if ZD is interested, I say offer it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage December 27, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member December 27, 2008 Can you provide me with any pictures? I would like to see what it looks like and the like. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossad December 27, 2008 Share Mossad Member December 27, 2008 I think that price is a little high tbh. I've been looking at alot of laptops lately and you can find some pretty nice new laptops for 100 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini_Me December 27, 2008 Author Share Mini_Me GC Founder December 27, 2008 doing quick search, cheapest 17" i could find was 565...so if you can find a new 17" for 400...awesome ZD here are some pics....more if needed oof screen needed cleaned....also some wear marks where hands rest for typing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage December 27, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member December 27, 2008 I am thinking I will get it. How are the fans in it? Are they still spinning and pushing out heat or making any noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanRinke December 27, 2008 Share JordanRinke Member December 27, 2008 Those are nice machines, I have the same model (diff specs) I bought it as a refurb for just under a grand about a year ago. 300 plus shipping is a fairly reasonable price (I would try and talk him in to 300 shipped... but that is just me). The only problem I have with mine is over heating if I set it on something that is not a flat surface, for instance a bed or something like that. After about an hour I will get visual artifacts on the screen. I have found that this is easily mitigated by taking a can of air and blowing out all of the fan/vent holes ever month or so. Since it runs warm anyways it collects dust and once it does, it can't cool itself. This one may not experience the same issues since mine has more memory, cpu, and gpu all making heat. Mine recently had decided that the battery shall no longer hold more than a 45 minute charge but I doubt that would be an issue on this one being that it has a newer battery. If Zero Damage decides to shy away from the offer let me know, I too would consider this for my mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini_Me December 27, 2008 Author Share Mini_Me GC Founder December 27, 2008 fans work well and are audible when running. as jordanrinke says, when left on a bed or something it does heat up and you hear the fans run. just blew out fans and both exhaughsting heat nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preacher December 27, 2008 Share Preacher Member December 27, 2008 I know I have said this here before but you guys need to show a little respect for the person trying to sell their laptop or whatever. Do not post links to better deals or talk about a better deal. Also don't complain about the prices unless you are actually wanting to buy the item(s) for sale. It's just a punk move that serves no purpose except to hurt the seller, so quit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
