Good pickup Bunsen!
Just refurbed a white 2008 MacBook last weekend. 4GB of RAM on its way (eBay $25) from a US dealer. New battery to replaces the dead one (eBay $32). 750GB 7200rpm HDD that I had put in my AcerAspire HackBook Nano was transferred. Every now and again it can't detect the charge on the battery, but a quick SMC rest, and bingo! Back on track.
Happy as!
MacBooks are good solid little machines, and this one will see me through a couple of more years. As it is a 2.4G C2D currently running 10.6.8, I can run 10.7 if I need, and maybe even 10.8.
PS. Still using my QS2002 as my main machine as well.
PPS. This weekend will setup Win7 in BootCamp.
