    I have a friend of a friend with a damaged Alienware 18 lying around, not thought about selling it.

    Specs are:
    Intel i7 4900MQ
    Windows 8.1 Pro
    16GB DDR3 RAM
    1TB Western Digital HD
    80GB Sata boot drive

    GPU is faulty, doesn't work atall. It has the normal onboard graphics card working fine tho.

    In your expert opinion and experience, what would you suggest is a good price to offer and do you think k it's worth taking it on as a fixer upper?

    Thanks in advance!

    Absolutely not!! I have a brand new AW 18 and it had problems right out the box. A broken down second hand one sounds even scarier. If it's SLI you want/need Clevo/Sager seems to be the way to go. Check with the various Sagar retailers
