Very nice looking herd! All of them appear to be in very good physical condition as well.

Keep up the good work...or shall we say addiction... :lol:

Nice collection and nice picture setting! :thumbs-UP: They all seem to be immaculate, so you have either done a good job sourcing them or you have restored them. And nice to see them turned on, displaying the desktop.

The backdrop was mainly to hide the messy room! :oops:
Anyway, most of them are in very good condition, aside from scratches on the lids. The T23 is missing its cardbus slow door and the T60p is beat up quite badly, currently it needs a fix for the frame and new hinges. Most of the good looks are from a lot of refurbishment, although I received most in good condition anyway.

You need to swap "right" with "left", and "600E" with "570E".

You can see a lot of "shapes of things to come" when you view a 570 closely. I always loved these machines. There's a classy simplicity to them which hasn't really been matched later on, although the original T40 - sans the touchpad - does come close.

Yes that 570E I could look at all day. Good base for a Retro I think. Very minimalist but it is just superb.

Great job and thanks for making my day :thumbs-UP:
