Seeking X61 T8300 or accessories (8GB RAM and SSD)
Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2014 2:13 am
Hello fellow Thinkpad enthusiasts-
With a heavy heart I have to report that my heavily modified X61 T8300 was recently stolen out of my girlfriend's car (along with my external hard drive and the power adapter, all in a backpack).
I had 8GB RAM, a Crucial M4 mSATA SSD and an Atheros 9380 as well as an ongoing project to dual-hard drive the machine (see this thread for details: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=107360 as well as to overclock it to 3.6Ghz (ping me for a reference on that if you want). It represented quite an investment over time, as well as sentimental value, and I would love to complete the projects I had intended for it.
Anyway, since I first wrote this post I acquired a plain T8300 on Ebay, which may or may not be in good shape when I receive it. Assuming it is, I'm still looking for cheap replacements for 8GB RAM and an SSD. Given the used prices of the machine itself and continuously rising prices of 8GB DDR2 RAM; this and the SSD are now each much more expensive than the laptop itself!
If anyone has a spare SSD or 8GB of unused RAM, I would be interested in chatting!
Thanks!
Rafael
