But if there is no password on boot for windows, or a power on password that still doesn't mean there is/is not a bios password on it.

Sharp +1, it doesn't have any passwords at all, re read the mail.

Yeah I'd double check to make sure. A BIOS supervisor password with TPM enabled can really break a system even though it appears to boot and startup normally. I was lucky with one of my CF-19's that the password was set but TPM was not. I was able to reset it with a CMOS battery pull. I truly thought that was not possible until then.

My personal opinion is with no model or serial ahead of time.... NO SALE.

Got the model number, but not gonna post it here, i'm afraid they will find out and then up the price considerably.

Sold my 19 and going to take a look at that Mk5 next monday, fingers crossed it's a good one and not some thrown around thing. (looks good on the pics though)

400 euros for it, 500$ that is.
Not bad eh? I'm gonna miss my carrying strap and IBM adapter though, they were so useful.
Gonna take a look at it tomorrow, can't wait!
EDIT: Are those 19s still passively cooled though?
