Hi everyone,
I am selling my frankenpad project, which I completed last year. It is only collecting dust now on my shelf. It all started when I found a local T60 15" 4:3 thinkpad for sale that was in practically mint condition, which was because the wife who was using it had a sticker skin on the lid.

Parts:
T61 intel integrated graphics system board with BIOS mod to accept penryn CPUs (not NVidia GPU board)
