[HacktionLab] Conflict minerals [was: Re: How t buy a laptop that will work with Linux]

It seems like it wouldn't be _that_ much work to set up a website  
www.ethical-laptop.co.uk that simplified this process by presenting  
information from three sources;

1) Using the gold scoring Epeat laptops here as your search terms;  
http://ww2.epeat.net/publicsearchresults.aspx?stdid=1&return=searchoptions&epeatcountryid=37&rating=3&ProductType=3

2) Using those terms to search the database here:  
http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop/ and displaying those that  
appear

3) Then pulling in the price & star rating from www.amazon.co.uk

You could then generate a ebay.co.uk search as a 'buy it' button so  
people are buying second-hand where possible..

Too much work for me, but would be a useful project if anyone has the time.
