It was sealed with the Lenovo tape, had the labels, box was sitting for awhile.

Label on the box:

(P) FRU PN: 44C3933 2011-07-29
Quantity: 1
(4L) Origin: CN
Made in China

Cracked the seals, the manual for transferring the cryptokeys is there, everything is pristine. All the labels are where they are supposed to be, the extra MAC address sticker attached to the ram slots.

Label on the anti-static bag:

PCY-IBM 15
Static Shield Bag

Labels on the board:

Can't get much further past the 08/08 update cut off than a board made in 2010 and the 7th month, with a GPU made in the 27th week of 2010 and that 741 is the updated GPU code.

27th week is the 3rd week of the 6th month, which lines up perfectly for a board assembled in the 7th month.

This makes up for the cooler hell I went through on ebay, some sellers....

May i ask where? and How much was the price?
I would love to have one

An ebay seller, and I dropped about $170 for it with shipping. I will see if he has more, and if he does, I'll post or pm with the means to get ahold of them.

I also got the updated cooler to go with this board. The 44C0557 seems to be a much stouter cooler than the more common 42W2462 for the 14"wide discrete models. More curve to the fan blades, more open area, and atleast this one feels smoother than all of the Toshiba fan equipped coolers I've played with, along with the extra heat-pipe should make it cool better and quieter as well.
