I got a laptop for $140 from a classified ad with about those specs, except a 
bit crappier (486/4MB RAM/120 HD) that I'm trying to hack into a wearable.

 <<The base for my wearable will be an XT class palmtop (HP95LX) with a
 pager "clip" glued onto the back.  I will be cutting a few new holes in
 the 
 case, so that I can hook in (with a card edge connector) a new keyboard 
 and display, while still keeping the original palmtop basically untouched
 and usable as-is.>>

I'm planning on just putting mine in a backpack and just adding external 
keyboard/display via serial/parallel ports (though I don't exactly know how 
I'm going to get those yet..), so it would stand alone as a laptop as well.  
Eventually I may take off the existing display/keyboard to package it 
smaller, though..

Wearable accessories are so hard to get on a budget!  heh..
