New MSI Wind Netbook for sale

Submitted by stevenmansour on January 2, 2009 - 10:02am

EDIT: SOLD!!!

Put up my barely used netbook up for sale over on craiglist - pass it on! :)

I'm selling a pristine brand new MSI Wind netbook that I had bought as a temporary machine while waiting for my new laptop to arrive. It has barely 2 weeks of use on it, comes with everything brand new in its box. In addition, I installed Ubuntu Linux 8.10 on it with all the add-ons and extras (It still has Windows XP French installed as well).

  • 1.6 Ghz Intel Atom Processor
  • 1 GB DDR Ram (upgraded from 512 MB)
  • 80Gb Hard drive (unlike the tiny 4 - 8GB SSD drives in most of these things)
  • 10.2" Screen (the reason I chose this netbook - way easier to work on than a tiny 8" screen like the one on the eeePC).
  • 1 year manuf. warranty with receipt.
  • Running Windows XP french (original install), Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 (with Compiz Fusion running smoothly - this thing's got a surprisingly good 3D chip). You can easily install Windows Vista as well, or - yes - Mac OS X.
  • As seen in the pictures, yes, the machine is totally new, with the plastic and stuff still on it.

New HP PC Computer for sale

Submitted by stevenmansour on October 7, 2007 - 10:19pm

I just received a brand new computer from a client for a project I'm working on but I don't need it, so if you know anyone who's interested (Montreal area only please), hit me up! :)

Specs are here on the HP site.

In addition to those specs, they've added another 512mb of RAM (for a total of 1gb), a firewire card (I can't find the driver disk, but you can get it easily off the net), and a 17" NEC CRT monitor. It's registered with HP and still has almost 3 years of onsite warranty.

It comes in the original box with all original documentation, including recovery CDs and manuals, optical mouse and keyboard, and all cables.

It runs Windows XP, Symantec Anti Virus - I've also installed Adobe Photoshop CS 3 and Adobe Lightroom, and will leave them installed (no CDs).

The price for the computer itself as you can see on the HP site is $579 USD plus tax and S&H - without the added memory, firewire card and monitor.

I'm asking $500 all included.
