I stress MIGHT as that is an old system and sony might not keep details on it anymore.

- To be honest it doesnt sound like its any good.

It would be more trouble trying to replace the cd drive, especially with no documentation.

If thats the only problem I would be suprised, I would expect the hard disk to have a few bad sectors from just the age of it but it could be ready to stop all together, most hard drives only last 2 and gradually go downhill from there.

Theres nothing wrong with a P3 or windows 98 but you might have problems compatability on some websites and even with basic software updates from java.

It did sound like a good little project but with all the problems you've mentioned iit would be easier to get an up to date laptop and try to repair that.
