WTB T4X w/ Good Graphics

[flashstar]

I'm in the process of fixing my T23 which works extremely well, but I have certainly learned that it isn't designed for games. I enjoy a quick game of CS:S here and there, so I was wondering if anyone has a used T4X with decent graphics (9600+) that they are willing to sell. I don't care if any of the other components are upgraded.

I am asking $500 or less or a trade for my near mint 120gb T23 w/ a bunch of spare parts+ a near mint presario 1200 + a ton of other small computer items.

I would like to stay with a thinkpad since they are made very well and I have enjoyed my T23, but I am tempted by numerous other cheaper brand z laptops on ebay.

Thanks.

I am also interested in a t4x series with a good graphics card.

There's some discussion in my household of selling my wife's T40p so we can get her a T60. No decisions yet, but it might be available for someone who's willing to wait a week or two. The specs are:

T40p (2373-G1U)

P M 1.6GHz, 1 GB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HDD, 14.1 SXGA+(1400x1050) TFT LCD, 64MB ATI Fire GL 9000, 16x10x24x/8x CD-RW/DVD(slim), Bluetooth/Modem(CDC), 1Gb Ethernet(LOM), 802.11a/b/g Wireless(MPCI), Secure Chip(TCPA), UltraNav, 9 cell battery, WinXP Pro.

It's long out of warranty but is in good condition. PM for details if any of you are interested.

Here are the specs of my T23:

1.13 ghz mobile Pentium 3 M
576 mb of ram (1x 512 stick+ 1x 64mb stick)
120gb Seagate 5400.3 w/ perpendicular recording hard drive
Excellent quality XGA screen
New Keyboard w/ new style trackpoint
New i/o board
Windows 2000 COA
Will have Linksys 802.11b WPA enabled wireless pcmcia card
Hitachi DVD drive

Comes with 1x 2 hour battery and 1x 1:40 hour battery+ Official IBM AC adaptor+ excellent quality spare keyboard, 1x extra T22 i/o board, 1x extra T23 i/o board with one working usb port + nonfunctioning ethernet port, 1x extra full XGA screen assembly with stuck latch and dust in display (still works well for word processing).

I went out and replaced all of the spare parts listed above except the batteries and charger with the ones that are currently on the laptop. Everything that was even slightly malfunctioning on the machine was replaced. I don't have a warranty, but it works really well. I will put Ubuntu on the laptop.

The Presario 1200 comes with the following:

500mhz k-II processor
4gb hard drive
192 mb ram
DVD drive
battery that holds a little bit of a charge
near mint 13.3" XGA display
Excellent keyboard (backspace key sticks a little)

I do not have a charger for this laptop since I don't know where it is. You can find them for around $10 on ebay and batteries can be had for $20. I will load Xubuntu on this machine (great for watching movies and word/ image processing).

Anyway, I love my T23 (or else I wouldn't have spent so much time and money on it), but I would like to be able to play some occasional CS:S. I can sell the laptops separately, but I really don't want to part up everything since that is very time-consuming. I will if you want include a bunch of other small odds and ends like older games as well.

Thanks!
