Nice initiative Mate.. Wish I could help.. I have one.. But too faulty to be sold.. Display issues..Maybe you will be able to fetch a good enough desktop for around 5k. Laps will be really old and worn out if they are grossing out for 5k and expected to have minimum battery backup. Or better you could try a netbook. A not so old one would not cost more than 5k. Nothing meant to discourage you.. But a desktop would be a pretty decent alternative considering the opportunity of getting a better spec for the same price and also taking into account the need of spares/service that may arise in the future.

Kudos to both the OP as well as the generous soul who sold his desktop by taking a 3K cut!

Wished this had reached me around 6 months back! My friend sold a working PII and PIII machine for scrap! ~ 400 bucks. He wanted to give it away, but the place he enquired said they wanted Intel P4 or better machines only, no AMD machines too :S!
