    I want a toughbook full rugged with a touchscreen. It MUST have a 1ghz or faster cpu. Not looking to spend an arm and a leg, so I'm looking at 28s and 29s. Absolutely not look for anything over $400. Should be in good condition, include ac adapter and battery.

    It may be missing hard drive and os, but I need the hdd caddy.

    PM me here or IM me on AIM, my sn is mnewxcv.

    thanks!

    Can't PM, you are new and don't have 15 posts yet.

    Can offer a 1GHz CF-28 in that price range. Shoot me an email to discuss options: springfield98(at)gmail(dot)com

    I'm not looking to spend $400 for a cf28. $400 would be for a very nice cf29. $250 would be my top end for a 28...

    I realize what a CF-28 is worth. I don't rip off anyone, and not pleased you would imply that especially in front of my friends here. Just thought you might like some custom features in that price range like a nice emissive keyboard or powerful wifi setup ....

    Sorry I offered to help. Have fun with the rip-off artists on fleaBay :rolleyes:

    You may be able to find a MK1 cf-29 or maybe a slight bit better for under $400... But ebay is always a crap-shoot.

    mnewxcv,

    You will not find a better quality for the price anywhere else than here, plus the knowledge here is priceless!!

    Ken,

    I am sure that anyone that has dealt with you knows you are a stand up guy.

    I have a 1 ghz touchscreen that the hard drive just crapped out on...

    Not sure if I want to install another one just now. It was a spare anyways.

    Battery is included, but it is weak. Power supply is fine.

    All covers/feet etc. installed and in excellent condition. No optical drives.

    Screen is perfect.

    Top cover is scratched, but not terrible.

    CF-28STJGZDM

    Win 2K pro. sticker intact.

    Haven't been on in a while, but Toughbook [moderator] may remember me.

    PM if interested.

    I'll get you a CF-29HWQGZBM for $400 SHIPPED. Touchscreen does NOT work on this guy. 1.4 Centrino/1.5GB RAM/60GB HDD/PERFECT Screen/PERFECT port covers/GOOD battery/NEW OEM AC adapter

    I got TONS of toughbooks in stock. Just let me know.

    Ask anyone on here about my reputation, I'm none of the top guys :) I also own toughbooktalk.com :)

    I didnt imply that :confused: I was just clarifying what I was looking for. Also, you know I'm new here, so I don't know anything about which members are trustworthy, reliable, etc, so I have to be a bit cautious by default. Hope you didn't take serious offense. I'll email you tomorrow to talk more about a cf-28 deal.

    hi, since I cannot PM, would you email me details, like price, and maybe some pics with your screen name on a piece of paper? [email protected], or IM me on AIM, sn: mnewxcv.

    hope to do business, sounds like what I'm looking for.

    Andrew
