    I can't believe that I was fortunate enough to get such a nice CF-29. In excellent cosmetic condition, with all the bells and whistles. I did not really want another CF-29 (getting harder to find IDE HDDs), but this one was too good to pass up. Backlit emissive keyboard, GPS, 3G, DVD burner, touchscreen, it has it all! It may not be the fastest Toughbook out there, but it sure is nice! It just needed a hard drive, battery and A/C adapter. I had a 1.8" SATA Kingspec SLC SSD from another project, and an IDE to SATA adapter. Had to do a little surgery on the inside of the caddy (removing a little of the clear plastic part) but this old beast is pretty impressive.

    Got a CF-30FTSAAAM too, but I'm more impressed with the CF-29.
