Damn that's ugly, but it would get the job done and the price is right. Looks like it was originally built for some serious abuse. I think I'll stick to my Inspiron 8200 "Dude.. I wanna drown that guy!"

Anyone know how much disk space a 1/4 mile run uses with the software installed? How fast of a processor and how much ram do you need to keep up with tracking the info?

The biggest log i had was about 9mb.. that was about an hour and a half of driving. 1.5gig is plenty. You just need enough space to put an OS and the software for tuning and recording. Pentium 133 should do fine as well.. and 32mb of memory should be enough for those basic programs too.
