I have a Dell L400.

Which is nice and small and reasonably quick for running Megasquirt on.

In good nick, had a new HDD and touch pad fitted a couple of months ago and a new battery and a good older one too.

External CD drive, wireless card etc etc.

No serial port, but works well off a USB to serial adaptor.

Currently running win 2000, but did have XP installed which it was quite capable of running.

£75

Careful with that, I went though 3 different adaptors before finding one that worked with my omex, pretty sure I've heard of similar problems with megasquirt.
