    I have an M15x 2.5ghz 400GB Harddrive, 4gb ram, 8800x video card and an extra smartbay battery, i was wondering since Alienware has been dropping its price, im scared that it may lose its value big time so I was wondering how much you guys think I can get for it in say... a month or two?

    Is it really worth 3000.00? I know we only pay for design and the video card but everything else is just average...so let me know..thanks.

    I would watch this auction:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Alienware-m15x-Processor-Intel-Core-2-X7900-2-8GHz_W0QQitemZ330284834952QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLaptops_Nov05?hash=item330284834952&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

    Since it's from someone who's been selling a lot, it'll give you a good idea of what to expect. It doesn't look the like the m15x is too popular on eBay.

    I would pay max $600 for your m15x. Sorry but non transferable warranties with alienware are huge let down for a resale value. Especially with all known issues of the m15x model.
