    this is a pretty old Thread... but since there is so much interest in this... i will do another one this weekend.

    I have to plan it. As the laptop at the bottom will have to take around 80 kg of weight...

    oh i see you got the X201 and sold or swapped the T410s.

    The bottom of the rack would be the T500 with the magnesium rollcage for the screen and the chassis.

    Yeah I traded the T410s for the X201. Very shortly the X201 will magically change into an X200 tablet.

    T500 over like a thick/bulky R500/R400/R61? O__O

    X200t? Whoa you are trading down. No point getting the x200t now. I would think you should get a x220t when you can afford it.

    Whoa, that's a lot of weight. Why not stand each one on end and put them side by side (like books on a shelf) and avoid the risk. Besides, most of us will be seeing the photo on a widescreen anyways, and with your collection we'll have to scroll vertically to see the whole stack! :p

    haha good idea, i was thinking that is what i should do. I tried a test run today... and my T500 didn't like having 20 machines on top of it. Or 30 or odd machines is really pushing it.

    Not sure, i may have spent like 70,000 dollars AUD so far on ThinkPads. It is an expensive hobby or should i say addiction.

    Love the Apple keyboard on the right, never thought you use a apple keyboard. You seem to be the person who have a Thinkpad keyboard or an old IBM space-saver II.

    i dont think it is that hard to beat me, you just need to live on nothing for the next few years, or go through computer wholesaler for end of lease machines (the latter is more plausible).

    I don't think I'll ever catch up. I sold the T400, and one of the X61 tablets went back to lenovo (they broke it). It'll probably shrink more before I get more thinkpads too.

    That Z60m looks pretty glossy for a Thinkpad >.>. I thought all Thinkpads were matte black?

    Anyway, why do you even have that many X61 laptops? That just seems crazy (assuming having a Thinkpad burger isn't already crazy :p).

    the Z60m has a silver top.

    I bought the top X61 for school, while i looked for one with an SXGA+ screen. so i found one but the digitizer didn't work (i think that's the 3rd in the pile). more recently i found another one which i'm using now, and the other one was cheap and missing parts so i added whatever was missing and am selling it.

    Nothing has changed on my end since October of last year. The T61 still remains as my daily computer, while the X301 hardly EVER gets used. I'm seriously considering selling it :(

    maybe you should sell it while there is still a demand for it.

    Maybe you could consider upgrading to a better system in the future.

    I defiantly plan on getting another computer (one to use as my primary machine) ASAP. I played with a 27" iMac at the Apple store today, and just about fell in love :)

    I have no idea what the market value is on the X301. Mine is VERY lightly used, but it also only has a 64GB SSD, so I have no idea where to start.

    X301 range depending on specs/warranty status. Some have warranty til like 2013, and those are 1000+. 600-1000 is most X301.

    I got a mint condition X301 with a dead motherboard and no hdd with 3 types of batteries for 400 AUD and i think it is a fantastic deal. While i have another X301 that is used heavily for 570 AUD. on average a X301 is around 700 to 900 dollars for a second hand machine. But you got to sell it to an enthusiast to maxmise its intrinsic value.

    Thing is, I vowed never to sell my X301, because

    A. I bought it brand new, and
    B. I know that Lenovo will probably never have another laptop like the X300/X301 for a LONG time, so keeping it (and knowing that I'm the original owner) I guess has sort of a sentimental value to it :)

    Well if you dont need the money then just keep it. You would have lost around 60% of value anyway.

    There are four T61s next to me, as I sent two others away about 3 months ago, but besides my beloved one the other three I plan on selling when I load bunch of stuff on those :)
