    I'm trying to figure out whethher Lenovo still sells any CTO or open bay models of the T42 notebook.

    Ideally, I'm looking for something like 2668BJU (a 15" SXGA+ 2.0Ghz. T43 open bay machine). That said, I'd be interested to know if anyone knows the model of a similar T42 open bay or CTO system. All I can find are stripped down 1.7Ghz. T42s with XGA screens (as far as open bays go).

    I prefer purchasing an open bay or CTO machine because I can get closer to my "ideal" configuration than the preconfigured offerings and it seems to be cheaper (for me) too.

    Any suggestions or links greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it's one I've already seen. There are only 4 CTO/open bay T42 systems listed and all of them are XGA or UXGA (no SXGA+). There are 20+ T43 systems listed as CTO. Are there really no 15" SXGA+ T42s as CTO or open bay machines?
