FS: 4x IBM Thinkpad G40/41 - $59-99

[Medessec]

For Sale here I've got 2 G40s, and 2 G41s. These are the sort of left-overs from my G4x toy stash, they're in fair to very good condition. Some are missing the rubber feet, but the lids on these only have a couple of scratches or two, compared to the many G-series I see with gashes or white marks all over the lids.

The G40s have Intel Extreme Graphics, and the G41s have Extreme Graphics 2. It's also worth noting 2 of these units have cracks at the hinges-they do not affect functionality and are merely a cosmetic flaw. All of these machines have the three-spindle config-a floppy drive, DVD/CD-RW combo drive, and the Hard Disk. All of these units have been loaded with Windows XP Pro SP3, and activated by use of the COA sticker on the bottom. All units will ship with an OEM power adapter.

These machines would be great for anyone looking to see what the G-series laptops are like, or maybe add one to their collection. Also note all these machines have the more powerful Pentium 4 processors, and not the lower-end Celeron processors. These machines boot reliably and are great cheap machines, and although the G40s do not have Wi-Fi, they do have Ethernet ports.

I am open to offers, but please consider I am incorporating shipping into the current prices. Although I do know these machines are not worth much, I have taken the time to dust them out, reinstall the OS, and configure them to work properly for extended periods of time. If you have any questions about a certain machine, you can post your question here, but if you're interested in buying, shoot me a PM. When asking about a certain machine, use the codename listed, as that way I know which one to fetch right off the bat.

I may also post pics soon... stay tuned.
