There are even some marked as 'new' (resealed). Where/how do these traders get hold of these machines? I was kind of hoping to get one a bit cheaper than some of the prices they are asking for - perhaps one without an OS as I'm quite capable of loading one on myself. cheers.	legod (4626)

They will certainly be cheaper but you will probably need to buy a couple hundred of them (by the pallet at auction is common). Yeah I had a feeling that they probably get them in bulk so that avenue of purchase wouldn't be practical. Can anyone recommend a physical store that sells them? My preference would be to inspect before purchase. I'm tossing up between a Latitude D630/D830, a later E-series or HP similar.	legod (4626)
