    post up in the marketplace but i would say $1250-$1350 maybe $1500 on ebay but with fees and all it will work out the same. Just list it a $1400 on the forum and see what you get. If you have warranty that will help the video card is the draw back but the cpu and bluray help make up for it. I am guessing it is 1080p FHD since you have bluray


    Congrats on the new purchase you will love the m17x and all the features for overclocking the beast

    I ordered my M15X on 30 Nov 2009, but only got the 1 year warranty. So the warranty will be expiring within a few months. It does have the 1920x1080 display and I have never overclocked it but had been thinking about it recently until I just decided to get a new X-Fire M17X.

    I am at Bagram, Afghanistan atm and will probably post it up here on some boards on base for $1500.00, should sell pretty quick and the buyer can actually see it before buying.

    I have never had a single issue with it, well nothing that Bios and Driver updates didn't correct :)
