I just ordered a budget T43 system:
2668AJU CTO model with fingerprint (model is a Aug05)
2.0Ghz PM
SXGA+ x300 64MB
60GB 7200rpm
2200b/g
256MB RAM (will add my own)
WinXP Home (will run Linux as the primary OS)

Its a budget system by the usual T series standards but should be good enough for my work. Thanks to all the experts out here, I figured out a lot of stuff like CTO model stuff, existence of 7200rpm drives etc.

I hope this arrives soon and then I can report the noise and heat levels. Also hope I get a decent display. I see a lot of posts that hints at quality control issue at Lenovo. Lemme keep my fingers crossed till I see the system.

BTW has anyone bought the 2668AJU? Any feedback regarding the noise/heat/build quality?

(Hey! First post! nice to meet y'all!)

Stupid question, perhaps, but where did you find this model? Whenever I try to "let me build it", the fastest processor option is stil 1.86.
