Default Where to get a good deal on a used laptop

Well I tried the search feature because I know there was a link to a site that sold used laptops for decent prices, but I couldn't find it again

I am looking for something used, maybe 300-500mhz that has both serial and USB capabilitys. This is going to be used for HP Tuners and might be used to handle F.A.S.T and DFI software. If I am not mistaking they require a minimum of 300mhz, IIRC.

I would like to stay away from Ebay if possible, thanks.

Sorry, didn't notice your Ebay comment. Ebay is fine, just stay with someone who has a 99% or greater rating and doesn't want an arm and a leg to ship it.

Micro Center. Online or in one of their stores.

IBM's for $499. IBM's IMO are the best used laptop to buy + if something does go wrong there are thousands out there for parts.

More than likely if you just use it in your car for tuning it should last as long as you keep your car.
