My beautiful X505 has been sitting in a box for months now, and it needs a new home.
The X505 works (fresh XP install) and is in very good condition. It operates completely silently (SSD). (Not sure if the batteries still hold a charge, though.)
I purchased the X505 from an importer of Japanese electronics; after finding the Japanese keyboard difficult to
use, I had Sony Service replace it with a US keyboard and install a 32GB Samsung SSD.

SSD will not fit in the X505):
