Just got the full race setup ordered and stuff is coming in. I am looking for a dedicated laptop just to use for Pinewood derby racing. Does anyone have a working dinosaur they would like to donate or sell cheap? Will be running GPRM software and nothing else with the computer.
Thanks

Good plan! If you don't get any good leads here, check around locally for businesses that do "retro-tech" ... rehabbing and selling machines that are no longer "state of the art." There is a good chance that their parts are cobbled together from more than one original computer, they will probably be running something like Win 98, and clock speeds will be probably no more than 1/10 th of the current top of the line ... but you need functionality, not speed. And ... the prices are attractive!
But ... you might also "cut out the middle man" by approaching a number of local businesses and rehabbing one of their dinosaurs yourself.
