I'm excited, and I think i got a great deal:

Mini-9 XP Home
1 MB Ram (just got back from Fry's with a 2MG stick for ~$20 with a $10 rebate)
16 GB HD
Bluetooth
1.3 Camera

Scratch and Dent for $253.94

All I can see are a couple very light scratches on the top -- I'd probly put them there myself after a week.

Now i need to load it up, might do a Hackintosh later.

Any opinions on load apps directly on it, or using the apps from http://portableapps.com/? I kinda like the idea of an portable install.

Thoughts?

That is a good deal, great job finding it. Mine is supposed to come today as well.

With a 16 GB HDD you should have enough room to install your OS and your primary apps with some room left over for a litte music/document storage. What OS are you using and what apps are you wanting to install?

RocketDock
Office 2003
Firefox (many extensions)
7-Zip
VCL
Audicity
Winamp
IM CLients (MS/AOL)
TVU
Adobe Acrobat
Paint.net
Skype
Piccasa
Google Earth
Blackberry Desktop Manger
Syncback SE
SyncToy
HP Printer Drivers

Too much?

You may want to condense that list to a smaller one, think about using programs like pidgin instead of using multiple IM clients not only will this save space it will save system resources.
