Thinkpads Forum

Selling my Thinkpad T61 15.4'' with T9900, HW modded for 1066MHz FSB, Intel X3100 graphics, 1200x800.

It's the machine I modded on September 2016, as reported here. See my posts there for detailed test reports and BIOS/RAM changes for the machine.

This is T61 Type 6463-CTO S/N L3-F0624 07/12, powerful configuration:
- Bluetooth
- GSM modem, Sierra Wireless WWAN Adapter MC8775 Tri band HSDPA UMTS (850/1900/2100MHz)
- PCMCIA/CardBus slot
- ExpressCard slot
- 4 in 1 Card Reader
- FireWire
- Win 7 Pro readible COA sticker
- power adapter
- battery: 30 to 60 min
- single 2GB Kingston memory stick with Samsung SPD profile

This machine is in excellent condition. Runs w/o problems for 5 months since HW mod. Works with nVidia GTX 670 eGPU via ExpressCard (runs Witcher 3 smoothly on medium settings, 4GB RAM required), no problems with Hackintosh installtion of OS X Lion 10.7.6.

I'm in Detroit, US utill 16th February. I can meet personally within 100 miles radius from Detroit. eBay auction is an option. I can provide some photos via email.

This machine comes with following drawback: when shutting down the machine it turns off and then after 7-10 seconds it turns on automatically. It happens only when power adapter is unplugged. Battery removal is required not to let it power up again. It's not related to HW mod, the same was happening before the HW mod. Not bothering enough for me to take care of it.

Selling w/o hard drive. Asking 200$ + optional shipping in case of eBay selling.

I can add my Crucial M500 240GB SSD, asking 250$ in total. It's the drive shown in all reports above.
HWinfo reports the drive's remaining life is 97%. It works with full SATA2 speed: write speed is 240MB/s (bonnie++, sequential write). Boots Win7 to login screen in 14s, Ubuntu14 in 9s.
