Laptop

I have an old non-functioning laptop, well its not that old sad to say :( only 2 years old. but was goin to start my first robo soon and was wondering if i there were some parts on there worth salvaging on there......ie:webcam, wifi radio, female USB's on mobo, etc.....

thanks for any and all help provided!!!

   A few days ago my trusty laptop died.  This laptop was my main computer for years and it was always great for what I needed it to do.  I used it for browsing the net, programming, music, itunes, etc. and it was used hard and a lot.  I went threw many chargers for it and currently the battery holds no charge at all so it was getting close to the time to start shopping again.

hi all. I'm a beginner.

i need to build a robot driving to wheels.

controlled wirelessly through a laptop 

and need to have atleast 4 channels 

transmit video from 2 cameras to the laptop(range 100m) 

 

presently i'm using arduino to control the robot.

please suggest me what i can use to make those above possible.

i lesser range will do.

So this might be a tad out of this forum's scope, but I also have a 17" first generation powerbook I am looking to let go. 1Ghz processor and 867MB ram. Has 1 cosmetic ding in the lower right corner. An iSight and few other goodies can be included if interested. Check the pics and shoot me an offer.
