Yes, that is about the highest price you should buy a GNUbootable ThinkPad for - but only really the W500 model is worth that much - after all you do need to deassemble the whole thing, flash GNUboot externally, take the fan apart and oil the fan bearing and repaste (with you optionally doing the quad core mod, which is breaking off the right pins from a CPU and very fiddily wiring work to bridge 2 pads and then not that hard soldering work (unless you are going to FSB overclock a X301 or replace a WSON-8 chip with a SOIC-8 one)).
