Does my desktop count? Its not bolted to the house, I've moved it more times than I can recall. Its not exactly light, but its a huge amount easier to move than the watercooled monster I used to run....

Cool monkeypuddles, I have used a lot of Dell Latitudes (630's and 800's) and liked every one of them. The broadcom hardware could be a pain sometimes, but IMO they are good boxes.

yeah it is a slow old beast but for hooking up to a server rack for a quick ssh config it's really nice

Dell Latitude 630 (core2duo cpu, nvidia Quadro NVS 135M video). Runs perfectly well, i have Debian testing on it (i used Ubnutu 8.04-9.10 previously). I have Windows too but i swapped the hdd and now it doesnt wants to boot although it is detected in grub - no big deal, never needed it and im lazy to restore its boot loader and reinstall grub again.
