*SOLD to a forum member*

if you want the parts to finish it let me know, I'm very reasonable. I have a stack of DVD's, a few combo's a TON of batteries and I was just about to post some new in box AC's but I also have used ones.
I'm sorta getting away from fixing anything under a T60 so all these older parts will be posted as I go through then.

Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know. But I know a lot of forum members are often looking for barebones machines and I figured I'd skip the hassle of buying parts to complete it.

well the offer is open to anyone. my sig is not an exaggeration, I just need to update it and change a few machine around LOL

Threw in a hard drive upgrade for free.

It was brought to my attention that the model number shows it was originally configured with a 1.6GHz CPU. The listing is not a mistake, the CPU was upgraded to 1.7GHz.

FYI.....this is listed as a T41, not T42..

You are right! I totally overlooked that. I guess someone did some Frankenpadding with this before I got my hands on it. The T41 model number is from the sticker on the base. The BIOS shows the model number should be 2378-DUU which is a T42 model number. Screen label is T42. Sorry about the oversight, I wasn't trying to deceive anyone.
