Donald, I have a 570e that has a good screen but has busted hinges (Bruce mentioned these as a weak spot) so the screen will have to be removed from the top casing. It works in place at the moment so you should be able to transplant it if you want it. I will send you the whole thing with the hard drives for $30.00 plus shipping (cheapest method).
Even though the hinges are weak I think the 570 makes a real nice, light weight, light duty computer. As I said I have two still in service with the family. Cheers.
