macbook pro as a primary

Hi… recently (as in 4 days ago) my hdd in my desktop got corrupted. I was able to recover and backup my data on it (that wasn’t already backed up).

I’ve decided to upgrade my server w/ my desktop hardware and use my laptop as my primary computer. (my desktop and server an PC-based).

I have a ps/2 kbd, a USB mouse (w/ ps/2 adapter) plugged into a KVM for the 2 pc’s. I have 2 monitors too (20.1″ ws lcd, and a 17″ crt – the crt is the one plugged into the kvm). My KVM is ps/2 not usb.

So… because my primary desktop died, I was thinking that I would upg. my server, and then use my laptop as my primary. Having said that, I want to do dual monitor with it, and use a regular kbd/mou and my tablet (plugged directly into the desktop).

I have to pickup the following:
usb kbd
usb kvm
stand for the laptop/cooling pad

Also, are there any problems with having the laptop on nearly all the time plugged into the wall?

Anyone have thoughts about my setup? what I should or shouldn’t do?

I bought my fiancee an ibook in Sept. 2004. She wanted it for school. Now that she’s working (in a PC environment) she wants a PC laptop – so that she can familiarize herself with it.

Here are the specs:

iBook (M9418LL/A)
14.1″
1GHz
768MB RAM
40GB
Combo drive
Apple Protection Plan – just under 2 years left
All power cables, etc.
All original packaging, software, box, etc. I will even re-image the system to it’s original state for you.
The battery is like brand new! I still get approx 5hrs out of it (depending on usage it might be more or less)
NO DEAD PIXELS!

EXTRAS

iSkin blue keyboard tray protector
Macally dot-mouse (usb)
Marware iBook sleeve – baracuda skin is what they call the pattern

NOTES

I have formatted the system and it now has OS 10.4.3 with all the latest updates – the pictures were taken before I wiped the system
The case has been cleaned up
Save lots of $ if you buy this laptop vs. a new one
The applecare alone is worth about $400CAD

This system cost over $2300 at the time of purchase plus about $130 for the extras.

I’m asking for $1500

I would prefer a local sale – but I’m willing to ship. We can work out the shipping details. I live in the northern GTA (Richmond Hill). I’m frequently in Thornhill and North York. I work in Oshawa. Outside of those areas, we can discuss shipping options.
