Moved to ebay Thinkpad x220 i5 16GB no SSD

I got this on a wave of inspiration, intending to coreboot it and whatnot, but time and circumstances etc.

I put two new crucial 8GB RAM sticks in, but never got around to fitting an ssd. Boots to BIOS. Don't know about the battery, but I guess don't assume much. i5 2nd gen CPU.

Might seem tatty and hobbyist (and it is), but I used a x230 and a x201 (slightly newer and older gens, respectively) as my mains throughout all of my (non computing heavy) PhD, these things punch above their weight.

few more pics. Ram is ddr3; usb are 2.0 (there's a mod to use the expresscard slot to upgrade to usb 3.0); full displayport. Keyboard slightly worn but feels proper.

Also free if you buy above and want it: NOT FULLY WORKING x230/t430 keyboard. Model numbers in the back, if those mean much to you, I got into speculative IDing of makers by serial numbers a while ago but can't say much. The arrow keys are not working I think the rest of the keys are fine. I was missing a screw under the arrow keys for a while, so the keyboard had a bit of wiggle on press, which is likely how I broke it. I cleaned the connectors a few times, no luck.

I used this on my x230, I'm pretty sure it can fit the x220, t420, and t430, but do check. I know there are some poorer quality keybaords selling as spares (I had one), but this one is not a dud.
