[Found!] T61 14" for Frankenpad and Other Parts
Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2012 7:24 pm
Hey everyone, I'm looking parts for a T60-T61 Frankenpad conversion. The first thing on the list is a T61 14" 4:3. I'm leaning more towords an Intel board (42w7648 or 42w7872) but I won't say no to an nVidia board that has been well-tested. I'll consider offers for both motherboards and complete or mostly-complete machines, as I would like to make the wrong kind of Frankenpad (T60 motherboard into a T61 14" case) to give to my mum. I don't need a hard-drive but if you've got an SSD for a reasonable price I'd be interested.
Next on the list is a T61 or T61p fan. Obviously if I buy a full computer I will not need to buy this, but if I only buy a motherboard this is rather important.
Third, my T60 15" frame is missing a rather crucial piece over the fan vent. I know this is fixable, but if it is to be the "ultimate" Thinkpad then it should have a new frame, so tell me what you've got.
Fourth, and finally, I'm looking for a nice Penryn CPU for this machine. I have heard good things about the T8100, T8300 and T9300, so send me your price!
I'll consider any offer, so please don't hesitate to send me one. This is my first experience with Frankenpadding, so if you have any tips I'd be happy to learn from your experience. Thanks for looking!
EDIT: I bought a board, CPU and HSF from Tuus and a frame from Thinkpad Lover. Thanks for the offers everyone!
