SOLD: Heavily upgraded A31 in excellent condition. This laptop hasn't moved from a table by my stereo for five years. I used it as a music/media server connected to my stereo and LCD TV. It still works great and looks near new - see pix!

I've done numerous upgrades including swapping the LCD assembly for one with internal wifi antennas and a 15" SXGA+ IPS FlexView LCD. See detailed spec.'s below.

Only very slight scuffs on the cover, barely any keyboard wear, I'd say the LCD won't get as bright as new, but it is six years old, all the other plastics are in excellent condition.

I'm not really sure what it's worth, especially with all the extra accessories, but I'll say $250 delivered in the U.S. (and the box will weigh a lot with all these accesories).
