I'm trading a desktop with my brother for a pretty nice Thinkpad this evening. He runs a hosting service and one of his machines was a bit flaky and he needed a replacement.
What he's getting:
Duron 1600 (we removed it and replaced with an Athlon 1800)
768MB RAM
Adaptec 2940U2W controller card
2 x 36GB Compaq 10k RPM Ultra3 SCSI drives (run at 80MB/sec with the provided controller card, 160MB/sec with an Ultra3 card)
Video card
Network card
Enough properly placed fans to keep everything cool
I'm rather excited myself - my current laptop is an HP Pavilion N3402 with a Celeron 500 processor, 384MB RAM, 40GB hard disk and an 800x600 dual-scan display. While it's usable, something faster with a better screen would definitely be welcomed.
He mentioned the model to me, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is.
