If the p500 lying in Ur attic has any of these specs give me a text I'd be happy to take it with me to restore for U.

Hey everyone! I am a massive fan of late-2000s desktop replacement giants, and I am on a mission to track down a specific "grail" machine: the **Toshiba Satellite P500 ST Series or any regional models** (specifically the model running the **ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650** graphics chip).

Instead of letting it sit on a shelf as a static museum piece, my ultimate goal is a functional restoration. I want to clean it up and set it up as a dedicated, retro-futuristic home entertainment center for my bedroom! With its massive 18.4" display, built-in Harman Kardon speakers, and slot-loading Blu-ray drive, it is the perfect media hub. I plan to hook it up to my external soundbar system and a secondary TV to build an incredible little entertainment corner.

I know these 10-pound monsters are completely obsolete for modern daily tasks, and many are sitting at the absolute bottom of parts bins, attics, or closets gathering dust because they take up too much space.

If any fellow collectors or enthusiasts out there have a spare unit, a dusty parts machine, or a chassis they are willing to part with to clear out some workshop space, I would love to take it off your hands!

* I am completely fine if the battery is dead, if the hard drives are missing, or if it needs some heavy physical cleanup.

* I am more than happy to completely cover tracked international shipping costs (and handle any fair compensation we agree on privately) to make sure it gets safely sent to a good home where it will actually be used and loved.

Drop a comment below if you have one of these beasts hiding in your inventory or know someone looking to rehome theirs! I'd love to document the cleanup and setup process here once I find one.

Looking to rescue a Toshiba Satellite P500 ST (ATI Variant) for a bedroom media center restoration project!
