Title: [WTS] Massive laptop Eurocom D900F i7-980X 12GB RAM GTX280m 17" screen 1920x1200
Post by: rjk on May 18, 2012, 09:47:33 PM
Monster laptop for sale! This is a used Eurocom D900F workstation laptop with an Intel Core i7-980X desktop processor inside. You can see the Eurocom page on their website about it here: http://eurocom.com/products/showroom/specselectnew.cfm?model_id=202
Higher resolution pictures can be found on imgur here: http://imgur.com/a/gX9j6 or just click the pics.

It has a 17 inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels, and the screen has a built-in 3.0 megapixel webcam. The laptop is based on the X58 desktop chipset, with the massively powerful Core i7-980X Extreme processor inside! It has 12 GB of DDR3 RAM, and THREE places for hard drives.
There are 2 power bricks included, 220 watts each. The motherboard and video card have been replaced, and the machine is running in tip-top condition. It is slightly dusty from normal use. It weighs about 12 pounds, and includes a 12-cell battery. The battery is near the end of its life, and might need to be replaced. However, even when the battery is brand new, the laptop won't run for more than 1 hour on it because it is so powerful. It really is designed as a portable desktop, meant to be plugged in all the time and moved occasionally.

If you want them, I can throw in a pair of 320GB hard drives for use in RAID 0 or 1. They have been used in the machine for most of its life. A Windows installation is not included, but for an extra cost I can buy and install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit for you. If you want other parts such as an SSD or other hard drives, feel free to email me and let me know - I can purchase and install them for just the cost of the parts.

Asking 425 BTC shipped in the US or make a reasonable offer.

Bump, price reduced to 550 BTC, or feel free to make an offer. The video card on this can be swapped for a 6990m, if you change the cooling out for something a little different. Not sure whether it will fit a 7970m or not, but that would be even more epic.

Yeah, it's Eurocom branded, but it's based on the Clevo platform that Eurocom, Sager, AVADirect, etc all use. It supports the i7-990x and various 1366 socket Xeon processors too. It has 12 GB, but supports up to 24GB of RAM, however you will need to remove the heatsink from the CPU and re-paste it in order to change some of the RAM modules.

Nice laptop specwise but doesnt it kinda defeat the purpose of a laptop ?

What is the battery life on that? 30minutes ?

It's meant to be a mobile workstation, not so much a laptop. Consider the situation where a CAD expert is needed onsite at a customer's location to do some drawings. Likely, the customer doesn't have the hardware and software for this, and he doesn't want to lug around a desktop. This has more of a gamer's card installed (GTX280m), but it can be swapped for various models of Quadro cards as well.

The battery life when new is just over an hour, but this battery needs replacing and might last about 10 minutes, max. It is essentially an integrated UPS system, and not so much a use-it-unplugged thing.

I will give you a free bump cuz that is a massive laptop. I really had no idea they made such things. How much did this cost new?

I really can't afford or use something that massive but I am impressed. If nothing else, thanks for showing it off.


(I just bought an Acer aspire cuz of its low cost and high battery life :)  )
More than $5k new, so whoever buys this is getting it for less than half off.

BUMP

The screen shows TONS of data - it is one of the best screens I have ever seen in a laptop. The only better one was discontinued more than 5 years ago.

Sure, 1000 sounds great! It's more than I'm asking, you know.

;D

No seriously, 500 BTC takes it right now, with fast shipping to the US and Canada. I can even buy and install accessories and operating systems at cost, if you want it to be even more awesome on arrival.

It's probably the only one like it on ebay lol, I searched completed listings and there was only one other in the past default time period (90 days?).
