WTB: T30 and T23

#1 Post by Raidriar » Thu Jun 08, 2017 10:30 am

title says it all, I want a T30 and T23, as barebones/functional as possible meaning no CPU, no RAM, no HDD, etc. Just need cheap bones to build my "extreme" versions of each. PM price shipped to 23059, VA, USA

Or if you're so inclined to donate, I'll put in a thank you mention at the end of my video review when its done being tested/posted online.

Project is to max out T-series thinkpads from within a certain "intel" generation eg:

600E for Pentium II (already acquired, plan to go PII 400Mhz + 2x512gb low density PC133 + 24GB Intel SLC SSD converted to IDE)
T23 for Pentium III (having dificulty finding the 1.33Ghz Pentium III-M, any leads? Also will be maxing out RAM and adding intel SLC SSD converted to IDE)
T30 For Pentium 4-M (plan to go to 2.5ghz P4-M + 2x1GB PC2100 + 24GB Intel SLC SSD converted to IDE
T43 for Pentium M (already acquired, plan to go to pentium M 2.66 + 2x1gb DDR2+ 60GB Intel MLC SSD converted to IDE)
T61P for Core 2 (already acquired, plan to go to Intel X9100 + 8GB DDR2 + 64GB Intel X25-E SLC)

All will be receiving maximum CPU upgrades, maximum RAM upgrades, and GPU tuning wherever possible as well as a SSD, so it should be fun to see how they do in mid 2017.

T23 with or without ex-factory wifi?
I have both.

Whichever is cheaper, I will be doing mods regardless.

Also wanted a Pentium MMX thinkpad, whichever is more in line with the 600/T series.
