Please read very carefully before you buy

Here you are looking at a crazily modified T61 which has never appeared on market before.

Core 2 Duo P8800 with iquid metal pro from cool labortary. On par with T9500 but way cooler and comsumes much less power.

Also supports X9100 P8700 T9900 T9800 T9600 T9550 and presumably P9700 P9600 and P9500 and all 1066FSB Dual Core Core 2 CPUs and yes, this is GM965 chipset

(Notice: 1. does NOT suopport Q9000 Q9100 QX9200(ES) and QX9300!!!!!!! 2. The P8800 is BGA converted to PGA version, but works perfectly fine)

6GB of DDR2-711Mhz @ 6-6-6-16 (spd modified for external clock overclocking, I'll provide the original SPD file) (please notice that if you want to upgrade to 8GB by yourself, you'd have to flash the spd of the new RAM)

160GB SSD pulled from T420s, FRU 45N8145 and SATA 2 cap removed, total writes less than 700GB according to SMART details

Intel wifi 4965 with Sierra Wireless MC8775(7.2Mbps enabled)), bluetooth 2.1 module pulled from X201 and works fine

1400*1050 High Res screen with anti-glare screen protector

DVD/CDRW combo

Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

6 cell Battery just replaced with brand new cells and hold a very good charge.

Optional upgrades

6300agn and F3607gw for ultimate internet performance (way better than the original 4965 & MC8775) (the GPS fucntion is working fine)(both with original FRU)(£35 more)(Fn+F5 Hotkey will work fine as I'll modified the programme)

windows XP (PAE enabled and 3GB RAM limit cracked) and windows 7 ultimate 64bit dual boot for £15 more

2503 ultrabase and AMD Radeon HD7750 for £85 more

Upgrade to the maximum of 8GB for £45 more

Imperfecties:
some crack on keyboard bezel and palm rest, as well as bottom cover. But if you know how to clean dust/replace parts it should be an easy task for you to replace the covers and make it as brand new. Whole set of brand new covers won't cost more than 50GBP on taobao

pressure marks on the left of the screen (not obvious at all)

Normal wearings

Notice:

Please do NOT buy it unless you have some experience with laptops, by this I mean, at least you need to know a little about how computer works, or willing to learn. Knowing how to clean dust, use Thinkpad fan control and throttlestop(or cpu genie) will be more helpful.
I'm selling it because I've got myself one with FX570m and did the similar modifications, I was thinking of keeping this as a back up to the crippled Nvidia card but my personal finance is going the Greece way..... So.... :(
The price I put up is just a capping. Bargaining is welcomed however I have no intention for letting it go too much below the cost, so please send me only sensible offers. You can take out an calculator and see how much those parts all worth together before complaining about the price
I'll make £35 further discount for more than 1 year members form 51NB or thinkpad forum. (please include your forum id with the offer)
Oversea buyers please contact me before placing any offer/purchasement. I'll not do transactions outside ebay
I'll NOT respond to any questions regarding the modification. All the required information can be found here

Return / Refund not accepted as I'm not a professional seller, however I'm willing to provide help and advice if there's a problem
Please allow me a few days for preparation and system installation after purchase.
Item might be sold at any time. This is not an auction!!!!

Q: Why did I do such insane but pointless modifications instead of getting a new laptop with i7?

A: First of all, I want to flip off Samsung, LG-Philips, Sharp, AUO, and Chimei for cutting off the 4:3 screen production line. I'd rather pay 100 GBP more for a screen that is not "the compressed and crushed 16:9".

Secondly, I wanna flip off Lenovo for ruining our beloved thinkpad after W701

And finally, check this funny but sad video, if you are looking at second handed Thinkpads for the same reason
