Built an r50p

[TPFanatic]

I had a rebuilt R50p which got sent away. Out of scrap parts I rebuilt another R50p. I love the R50p, its got curves where the T series is flat and its tall black hinges are distinctly classic R series. The 2005 IDTech UXGA Flexview was taken from an ailing T42p project that didn't need it anymore, the motherboard seems to work, and the heatsink is also from a T42p for proper GPU coverage. With XP, Palemoon, PM 745, and 1GB of RAM the R50p browses the forum like a champ. Its new life will be that, old games, and looking pretty from now on.

Obligatory TN (Sharp WUXGA) vs Flexview comparison (screen is dark because not plugged into AC)

Tall versus wide
