Gigabyte Pro-SLI Mobo
2 GB G-Skill DDR RAM-dual channel

1 90mm fan
1 80mm Cold-Cathode fan on processor heatsink
Rounded Drive cables for HD and CD/DVD drives

$250 if you include the monitor... If its socket AM2 maybe a little more. But thats all I'd pay for it.

He could get a lot more than that for it.

I could have gotten 250 euro's for my old AMD Athlon 2100+, 9800 Pro and fooked up mobo rig..for all that he might get a sweet 400-500 dollars..
EDIT: And another like 50-75 (Don't know the current price of his monitor) but 50 dollars would be a safe bet

I don't see why you would want an awesome gaming laptop anyway... Why not just upgrade this box or just build a new desktop. Why a laptop for games?

Laptops fail at gaming. Even expensive high spec laptops with fancy GPUs. They always run significantly slowly than normal gaming rigs and they cost way more. It's a total waste of money.

I wouldn't sell it for less than $500. Nothing wrong with that rig, it should run games just fine and be upgradeable for quite a while still. Why would you want a laptop?

Idk, I just think that having a gaming laptop would be sweet. You can play games at all high settings, takes up like no room at all, you can take it anywhere with you and play. I just think it would be sweet to have one. I took it into a computer shop down the street and they said I could get an easy $1000 for it. My friend just got a really nice voodoo gaming laptop and it rocks.

Agreed, and theres a certain something to playing a video game on a laptop when your meant to be working that no desktop could manage, if someone comes close the lid and ur safe . I think its more likely to be around the $700-$900 range. What laptop u going for?

Edit: I also alot of money saved up so that will help me too

www.newegg.eztradein.com says $335.50

You gotta think that resale value is usually 25% of the original value & that's only if it's still in great shape.
