Any Dell Latitude C400 owners? Looking for opinions.

Thread Starter 
I may be picking up a C400 for $275.
1ghz P3-m
256mb RAM
40gb 4200rpm hdd
12.1" XGA
CD-RW
PCMCIA 802.11b card
1.5 hours or so battery life

I'm looking at it because of its large harddrive, and because of its small size. Around the house, I'll be using it for a download proxy and FTP system.
Mobile-wise, it's going to be my car's GPS, coupled with Streets & Trips 2005.

I'd like some opinions on them, if anyone has them.

I've worked on a couple of them. They're pretty nice laptops compared to others of the C Series. One thing to look out for are the hinges, these tend to get REALLY loose over time. you can probably find a LCD lid on eBay for cheap though. They're not that difficult to replace. Other than that there's not much else I can tell you to watch for.
