Is there a thick version of 600E or 600X that supports 17-19mm HD?
Is it possible to make a 600E into 600X by swap its motherbaord.
Is it possible to remove the modem card and swap it with ethernet or wireless?
Thanks

No. The 770 series supports drives up to 17mm height, the 600 series supports drives up to 12mm only. What are 19mm drives?

Wireless, yes. Ethernet, possibly, but you would need to find a place to install the ethernet jack, and I've never heard of someone actually doing this. For wireless installation info, see previous threads:

and
I DID IT,WIRELES 600 X :-)
