This little guy is custom built from the ground up using the best parts I had on hand from dozens of system builds over the past several months.

Started out with a perfect FRU 42w7648 system board with Intel graphics, matched with the 2.4ghz T7700 CPU, which is the fastest cpu offered in one of these, extremely rare in an Intel board.

I've installed Middleton Bios so full SATA2 speeds are supported and given a fresh application of Arctic Silver thermal paste.

To provide a nice balance of economy and performance, I've installed 2gb ram, Intel Pro 4965AG wifi adapter, CDrw/DVD combo drive, 80GB SATA with your choice of Vista or XP professional versions. I've selected a lid with a perfect XGA LCD with no blemishes or dead pixels, and 3 antennas. Cosmetics are good to excellent, showing only signs of normal gentle use for a system of this era. The lid cover carries the original "thinkvantage" retail label and has normal signs of handling with some minor scuffs.

The system will come with a genuine 9 cell battery and 90w ac adapter.

This carefully and expertly built high-end system with Intel graphics is respectfully offered to forum members for $300. I'll also consider selling it as a bare bones, or with whatever upgrades are desired. Domestic shipping will be a flat $15, international will vary.

Just wanted to say Tuus is a wonderful person to deal with. I've done business with him before with great success and he is one of the most knowledgeable Thinkpadders I've met on the forums. Rest assured when you buy a system from Tuus you are getting quality system.

Tuus is perhaps one of the best system builders to deal with. His shipping is fast and his descriptions are always acurate. And he always goes way beyond the sale to help anyone out with any question. You will never hear RT*M from Tuss. Buy with confidence I have and so have many others.

Cheers Bill

Thank you for all the kind words by so many, it's nice to have my efforts appreciated.

This unit is now sold and on it's way to a new home. I look forward to the next. :)
