I recently got an X61, and gave my wife my T60. I am selling her R51. I am asking $100 USD, shipped within the US. It is a type 2888-2ru, but I have upgraded several areas. Below are the main features.

CPU: PM 725@1.6Ghz (I believe it is a Dothan core)
Ram: 1.5 Gb PC2700
Optical drive: HL-DT-ST Rw/DVD-rom GCC-4241n
Hard drive: WD 600ue 60Gb
Wireless: Intel Pro 2200bg
Battery: IBM 92P1077, 56.68 remaining of original capacity, condition Green, 171 cycles
OS: None, drive has been DBANed, XP Pro sticker on base in good condition.
Condition: Good, the outside is in good shape with few scratches, the latch works fine. The keyboard has a little shine. There a a couple of cosmetic issues, between the keyboard and LCD bezel there are three bumps where I used screws that were too long. Also, on the front of the palmrest I used a screw that was too long and made a small hole. None of these affect the operation of the machine. The only thing on this machine that does not work – Somehow the small tab on the lcd panel that puts the machine to sleep when you close the LCD is broken off – I never got around to fixing it so it remains on when you close the lid.

If you have question or want photos PM me with your e-mail.

$100 USD shipped in US, I will accept Paypal or USPS money order.

Be encouraged, spuddog :) I've done all of those things in my reassembly of an R51 in the past. Now I know how to avoid breaking off that little tab on the LCD cable and know all the correct screw lengths to use, that's after working on many R51's by now. As you said those are mainly cosmetic issues. I think it's a very good price considering all your upgrades. Good luck with your sale :)

Will take offers. I would take a good 8cell x61 battery as partial (or full) trade

Thanks
