Ham computer - KC1SA - 12-09-2015

If anyone is looking to put together a computer for their Rig, I ran across this on eBay this morning:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-Thinkpad-T420-i5-2520M-2-5GMHz-4G-320GB-Notebook-Laptop-WINDOWS-7-PRO-/181832815587?hash=item2a561493e3:g:mnIAAOSwpDdVZ1IY

It's a T420 with I5 processor running Win7 Pro. This is what I now use for my Ham PC but I have mine with a docking station too. I would recommend, if going down this path, upgrading the memory to 8G (the max for this model), that will cost you about $40. So for under $200 this is a pretty good deal.
