you can break them for spares and get quite a bit for them off ebay!

i bought 2 compaqs off ebay both fuck'd, one looked like a truck had run over it ( not a lie ) , make a good complete working one from the 2, sold all the crap off seperatly i had left over, for half of what i payed out, and was lsft with a laptop that was worth £250/300 owed me £70

this is a pic of the screen from the run over one think i got £30 for it???
