Like my 9300 conversion? TAKE IT!

[AMDCam]

Hey guys, like I posted in my other selling thread for all the parts in it, I actually just ordered a new screen for it (WUXGA Brightview 17"), so it's a 100% working, mint condition 9300 with the XPS M170 bodykit (plus I've even still got the old 9300 body if you for some reason want that). The only thing I'm not gonna include is my hard drive, because it has about a billion files I can't just lose on it. But it's obviously universally compatible with any of your old 2.5" hard drives. If you really really want it (60gb 7,200rpm) because you just want a full laptop, then I might consider ghosting the drive to my external one, I've just never done it and don't really know the risks or how it works.

Anyway, the specs are in my sig, but just to be official:

Processor- Pentium M 740 (1.73ghz) w/533mhz fsb
Memory- 1gb 533mhz dual-channel DDR2 RAM
Hard Drive (probably not included)- 60gb 7,200rpm
Screen- 17" WUXGA Brightview (1920x1200)
Graphics Card- Geforce Go 6800 256mb
Case- XPS M170 conversion
Battery- 9-cell (instead of 6-cell)
Optical Drive- Sony DVD+-RW 8x/?x/16x DVD by 24x/16x/24x CD
Network Card- Intel 2915 A/B/G Wireless network card
Bluetooth- Dell 350 Bluetooth module

Like I said, everything is mint-condition, perfect working. Feel free to ask any questions

Comes with Power Supply, totally up-to-date BIOS, and everything else you need to run it (other than the hard drive). If you want details or even the original Dell system information form from Dell with my service tag, go ahead and either reply to this thread or add kornmancam to your AIM list.

I'm thinking $600 is reasonable, but I'm willing to bargain

Pics? Can the cpu be overclocked?

 

[AMDCam]

okay I'll go ahead and get pics later today, and yeah it CAN be overclocked but I have yet to figure out how lol. I mean I know it's physically overclockable, because guys that put Pentium M's in desktops do, but since my motherboard isn't an Nforce or VIA, it's kinda hard for me to figure out what clockgen it has in it.

Ooooooo... Now if I could see how everything fits in that case... I would be happy to look at it...

 

[AMDCam]

how do you mean? You mean you think the XPS shell doesn't fit or something? It does, they're the exact same dimensions, just the XPS shell pieces have different colors and textures. Like I said, I'll get some pics tonight, I just gotta figure out how to put them on this site first.

EDIT: ACTUALLY, there are some pics on the case mods section of tpu. It's called the XPS M930, here's the link: http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/224

The silver anamorphic widescreen kind of pic is the first one I took with the original 9300 shell.

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

KK, thanks... I did not know, thought they might not fit, looking for the mod now...

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

O, I saw it... for that much money it is a good deal, but I've got to see about my funds... I took a hit from my new AM2 rig...

I´M WHINING
Too bad I´m in Mex

 

[POGE]

Damn dude, that is a good deal. Can I see a pic of it working and viewing techpowerup? This is one of those too-good-to-be-true things. Nothing against you, I would doubt anyone who posted this. Have you flashed the bios to xps? The mainboards are almost exact, it should work.

 

[AMDCam]

yeah I've flashed to XPS before, but you need the 130w psu to let it boot on AC. I've done all the software stuff that'll turn it into an XPS before, so it's 100% capable. The only thing is though, lol, I'm starting to think that $600 is a little too cheap. I did some research on ebay and a guy with almost my exact specs (but the original 9300 shell) sold his for $1150. I'm not gonna go near that, but jeez, I really hate to destroy the hope that this IS too-good-to-be-true, but I think I'm gonna try for $800. I'll try on ebay too, so you guys aren't obligated to buy it lol.

 

[AMDCam]

That's my whole desk

That's closer up

That's it viewing tpu, for everyone who wanted to see it

By the way, I've got like a 1st-gen Sony 1.3mp camera that you need to literally not move for about 5 seconds for it to take a clear picture, so that's why they're kind of blurry

 

[Darksaber]

dude...if you were in europe (220V)...I would seriously consider it...

Too bad it cannot be upgraded to core duo...that would have been the icying on the cake...

cheers

[AMDCam]

yeah I know, the worst part is that it's still socket 479, but like 2 of the pins are in different places so it's somehow not compatible. By the way though, I mean there's always adapters and converters you can buy to take it to Europe, plus if you wanted to do a 7800GTX upgrade you'd have to buy a new 130w power adapter (the one for the 6800 is only 90w). Either way, thanks for looking
