    I was looking at my closet the other day, and noticed I have a whole shelf full of Toughbook stuff that is sitting around.

    The most important of which was my old test mule, the 600MHz machine that I used to do all sorts of awesome stuff with. It ran into an accident (Ok, it bluescreened while I was drunk), and it hit the floor. The LCD is cracked, I stole the inverter for my 800, and the screen bezel is too. It comes with the hard drive caddy, floppy drive, unknown condition blue tab battery, and a CD drive caddy.

    Pretty much, you need a whole LCD assembly and it'll be good to go.

    I also want to get rid of some other parts too. I have two CF-28 lower housings, two motherboards (one works for sure, the other I have no idea). Three extra keyboards (one backlit chicklet style, two rubbers, not sure how well any of those work). I have two of the boards for GPS mods, one with a GPS module already soldered. One extra 12" screen bezel, and the first LCD panel that I cut for GPS antennas. (It's kind of rough).

    I would rather sell it all in one whole blow, and I'm not looking for a fortune to get rid of it.

    So.... does $80 + shipping for everything sound ok to anybody?

    If you're willing to only sell certain parts i would be interested. But due to the fact that i live in europe, the shipping would be insane for the lot.

    I'd be interested in a gps module, a rubber keyboard and the cd caddy.
    Cheers

    Yeah, its one helluva deal, that's for sure. But still, thats at least 10kg at a bare minimum. Probably closer to 20. For someone in the States that's nothing, but bloody hell overseas shipping...

    Ah, bugger all... Sweden. Area code: 15250. Can you check shipping?

    Does that include the shipping charges? In the US?

    Shipping would be extra. This is a heavy box o' stuff for sure.

    I have a pending deal going on, but I'll report back if anything changes.

    Just to add in for clarification, it includes the hard drive caddy, but not the hard drive.
