Well the other night I got a Dell Latitude CP M233ST for free.
Complete with floppy and cd drive (even a cable to use either externally with a parallel plug in the back) , battery and travel module (battery seems to hold a charge just fine too), and power adapter.
It's only missing its HD and a bunch of screws. (and its Pentium I MMX inside sticker)
In it's two PC card slots it had a 56k 3Com Global Modem card and a Belkin Network card.
It boots up with a DOS boot floppy so everything seems to be good!
May not be something really 'collectable' to most but A: it was free and its a Pentium I B: I grew up around Pentium processors C: If its not collectable now it will be eventually~
Anyway I'm happy.
Edit: The bios battery seems to be good too!
Sadly even though it still had the hard drive caddy its little adapter card is missing... So I will have to buy this:

And buy a 6 gig or so Hard Drive.
Annnddd get a new sticker!
Edit: Opps apparently the CP had a Pentium I MMX not a Pentium II!
