    Hello guys and girls,

    I am from Malaysia, my current Alienware 17 (2014) is 4 years old exactly. I also possess one set of identical spare parts which are new, enough to build another identical system as mine.

    The only parts I do not have are: CPU, HDD, MSATA SSD, Battery Pack and RAM modules and screw set for Alienware 17. I have every other part.

    Initially I wanted to keep my system for good because I know this system is the last non BGA type. I have not done any modification etc. I have been using it primarily for a some gaming and my university coursework. It is in extremely good condition also.

    Recently I got thinking, if I should go for another simpler form factor which still pack a decent punch. However, I do not have the money to plough on another machine unless i could generate enough money by selling the system I have in hand in addition to the spare parts which essentially means I got two system to dispose off.

    I need help in evaluating the value of the system and parts in my possession.
