FS: Dell (!!!) M6400 Covet, top-end, modded

#1 Post by wujstefan » Mon May 06, 2024 6:34 am

For sale a restoration project that has already been finished. Beautiful device, but there are too many of them in my stable :)

Dell Precision M6400 COVET edition (orange chassis)
LCD: WUXGA RGB LED, great shape
LCD lid: great shape, little to no scratches
LCD bezel: swapped for standard unit (COVET has an additional cover for LCD but it makes the display reflect ambient light - can include it to the deal)
Keyboard: great shape US backlit
CPU: Core 2 Extreme QX9300 4x2.53GHz, running cool and right
GPU: Firepro M7820 (from a completely different system; HP 8740w as far as I recall)
RAM: 4x 2Gb DDR3 for a total of 8Gbs in 4 slots
Storage: 256Gb SSD + 1Tb HDD (both drive baskets present - secondary unit is a very rare sight)
DVD-RW: funky slide-in drive
Battery: genuine with 80+% capacity
PSU: genuine

The system is in great shape overall

Wireless, Bluetooth, Fingerprint, Webcam, all is present and working. Hinges nice and tight. Thermals applied (Noctua NT+H1), system running cool and nice. Speakers working perfectly (also not a very common sight).
service cover ISN'T orange and the battery ISN'T orange. I failed to source them :((( Still, I have invested tremendous amount of work and money to finish this beauty.

I was thinking about $400 + shipping would be allright. Note that shipping from Poland is actually pretty cheap, even overseas, but the device is HEAVY.

Ask for pics. I hope to find some time to upload them soon.
Too many thinkpads not enough time!

Cool. Just saw your PM. I don't have permissions yet in the forum to respond to you using PM, since I just made an account.

But feel free to email me pictures and price with shipping to Los Angeles at my email: sehmike @ gmail.com
