For Trade: eMachines PC for 12" iBook?

Since I purchased my iMac, I no longer require a PC. But, I do need a notebook for traveling though.

I purchased this PC in May of 2005. It's still in great condition, I haven't had any hardware failures. I always take care of my computers. The default mouse and keyboard will be shipped along with it. It originally had 256MB of RAM until I added an additional 256MB stick. I also added a 20GB Hard Drive as the slave drive for extra storage/back up. (These additions will be included in this trade.)

The PC still has all the original stickers on it. The restore discs include Windows XP, the necessary drivers, additional security software and AOL free for 3 months. (not like any one cares for AOL =P)


The specs of my eMachines PC are as followed:

Code:
eMachines T2882
17" Flat CRT Monitor (1280x1024 resolution)
Intel Celeron 2.80 GHz 
512MB DDR SDRAM (256 x2) (Upgradable up to 2GB RAM)
80 GB Western Digital Hard Drive with an additional 20GB Maxtor Slave Hard drive (100GB total)
Intel Integrated Extreme Graphics 845gv - 64MB
DVD-Rom Drive (16x reading speed)
CD-RW Drive (48x writing speed)
6 USB 2.0 Ports (2 in the front, 4 in the back)
10/100Mbps Ethernet
Licensed Windows XP Home Edition, with restore discs.
(More information)

Here's a picture until I can take actual photos of the PC.

Trading information


I'm looking for a 12" iBook with a G4 (1.2Ghz) processor, OS X 10.4.x, at least 256MB RAM, Good Condition, at least 60GB of HD space. (If what you have doesn't meet my requirements, we can negotiate.) Basically, just something to work with when I travel and go to school. If you would like to trade something else of value (like a PC notebook for instance), please reply to this thread with the specs of it and we can negotiate.

As I mentioned above, actual pictures of the PC will be taken soon. Before I ship the eMachines, I will reformat both hard drives and install a fresh copy of Windows XP Home Edition (under your name).

Thank you.

I'm trying to trade it for an iBook (or any other notebook) or sell it for $450-$500. I need a notebook computer for travel in the near future.

I bought this PC for $800.

eMachines are not worth 800. You were robbed.

(As was I, I own one. It currently sit under my desk and I use it as a footstool because my other footstool broke.)
