Try this link--desktop power in a notebook format and everything inside except 
the battery (which is optional)


WITHOUT OS 

http://www.softwareandstuff.com/h_nb_dsknt928ath.html

Athlon XP 1500+ 256Mb DDR RAM DVD/CDRW 20G
$995 US or $895 US without the CDRW which is refurbished.  The rest is new.

There are cheaper and more expensive models--caution is advised about the P4 
models, because the chipset might be the infamous 845--have not been able to 
get further info on that.

  Have a look at the ECS notebooks on http://www.portablez.com.  I'm seriously 
considering getting the G732 for LAN party gaming.

I only know about a couple Felix, but then I haven't looked lately. This page 
was hangin' around my bookmarks for a while, maybe it's worth looking at?

http://www.oretek.com/laptops/

And the two links to vendors that I know about:

"Acer recommends MicrosoftR WindowsR XP Professional for Mobile Computing." 
That seems to mean they don't insist though. :-)

http://www.qlilinuxpc.com/products/laptops/index.html

These guys advertise "specialize in Linux compatible computers." They even 
show Tux on their site.

Best of luck.
