The laptop is in pretty good shape for its age, I bought it in 04. Cosmetically i'd say its a 8/10 and performance wise a 9.5/10 (see below for the reason). Only reason im selling is I just built a nice computer and dont use this anymore.

Cosmetics:

It has a small crack in the plastic around the screen on the side. its like .5" big.

You can see where my palm rest next to the mouse. It like wore away the silver paint.

The only really bad thing: The power jack needs to be replaced. Its a common problem with these laptops. You have to wiggle the power cable for it to power on. A new jack is about $10 shipped on ebay. If you're good with sodering and stuff like that you can fix it for only $10. Dell has great instructions on they website on how to take the laptop apart to get to the mobo and fix the jack.

Specs:

3.06ghz Intel Pentium 4 processor

1gig strip of ram and another 256 strip of ram so total 1.25 gigs of 3200 ddr sdram.

60 gig 7200 rpm HD

Highest quality display you could have gotten, Its SVGA or something like that. Resolution goes as high as 1600x1200

15" LCD monitor

Windows xp pro (comes with install disk)

64mb Nvidia graphics card.

USB 2.0

built in 802.11b/g/a

24x cd-r/rw dvd reader (the burner will take like 2 times to burn something usually. It may be the software, but I donno)

thats all I can think of now.

It comes with the power adapter, and all the original disk and everything

$300 + shipping

pics are up. I actually got it to power on to prove that it works.

How much **** has been looked up on this laptop?
Just curious, because that can reveal how much work I would have to do to it once I got it....

Spyware, tracking cookies, other nasty script... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
I have looked at **** on it before, but not too much. There are no viruses or spyware that I know of on the computer. I made sure that it didn't get anything bad. No clicking on links that were suspicious, stuff like that.

EDIT: Plus you can always re-format the harddrive and install XP back on it, since it comes with the original xp disk.
