I use a very similar Intel-based Frankenpad daily and it easily handles scientific computing (and visualization) with Matlab along with the usual office/web tasks.

What is resolution of Sharp display ? Do you have spare working LCD cable for this display in case of cable failure ?

By definition, all UXGA screens have 1600x1200 native resolution. And sure, I can include a spare LCD cable if you'd like, though there isn't a special one needed -- any working cable from any 15" T60 would work. I've also just sent you a detailed reply to your email. Thanks for your interest.

I'm confused about how the 42W7648 Merom motherboard has a T9500 CPU?
I didn't know that was possible.

I'm confused about how the 42W7648 Merom motherboard has a T9500 CPU?
I didn't know that was possible.

There's a special BIOS mod (named Middleton's BIOS after the user who developed it) that allows these boards to handle this class of Penryn CPUs (among many other benefits, like SATA-2 speeds and removal of wifi whitelists -- that's also how I was able to install the AR9380 card). See here for more details, incl. download links for the modded BIOS: http://t61.wikispaces.com.
