New, picked it up at Circuit City last year on black friday. Model is 
ze4901us  The only problem I've had with it thus far was that when I 
placed a mini-pci card on the empty slot on the back, the bios refused 
to boot claiming unrecognized hardware.  They're simply trying to force 
me to buy their hardware, which I won't do.
