I bought 13 antique computers for 1 penny.

I went for a local pick up and he gave me a couple more. The guy was just trying to unload them without having to add them to a landfill. Most are Tandy Color Computers (Imagine that). They are just keyboards that plug into a TV (no monitors). Two, below are laptops. They come as a box and the keyboard detaches from the front. I'll be using the laptops on my next Mod (After R2 is completed). I want to keep the "look" as much as possible. I'll just be gutting the inside and replacing the parts with a 2.8Ghz P4 and 512MB DDR 333. Everything else will be onboard. The mini monitor will be replaced with a 5 inch LCD.
