[bogieboy]

... bogieboy's laptop died....LOL anyone wanna help a brother out? my old hp dv9000 media center edition finally succumbed to the graphics chip overheat/ solder cracking that they are knwn for... and since I don't happen to have a BGA solder/reball machine right handy, I figure I will ask if anyone has any old stuff sitting unused...LOL prefferably on par with a 2006 media center laptop... you know 15-17" screen, prefer ably with a seperate number pad on the keyboard, second hard drive bay.... but.....beggars can't be choosers....LOL I have in the neighborhood of $75 to play around with for this, as that is about what I could put a new motherboard in for...
