    Thinking about it looking at getting rid of at least one of them to fund purchasing an m17x likely would sell the m17 but I dunno any interest? m15x seems to go for around 1000+ and m17s can go for around 2000+ right?

    My m15x is in my sig my m17 other than graphics just has a 320gig hd 3gigs ram led lights and the 2.2 ghz cpu.

    Anyway send offers my way on the m15x I just upgraded the warranty another two years is that transferable? If not I could always take care of any issues for you as if i owned it :)

    the M17 won't sell for 2000$ at those specs - more like 1200-1400$.

    He's better off keeping it or selling it on fleabay (seen 2 low spec'd m15x's bidding around a grand)

    Absolutely more power to him then. I think Ebay is great for raising cash quick. Not knowing when the m15x was purchased, i'd be hard-pressed to trust it over the long-run vs a newly built unit with better specs, that was really cheap up until the past 2-3 weeks.

    Can't have a fine dairy cow as yourself stuck without an M17x. Maybe you should put a donation jar out on the counter at Subway!

    Smart move. Maybe someone is a little shy from cracking open a laptop and will just pay you to put them in.

    Why are you working at Subway again? ;)

    When I was in college I had a job building (and repairing) custom gaming desktops. One of my favorite all time jobs. Got paid a whopping $11 an hour to do it.

    lol this went way off topic its looking like I may be better off just upgrading my current machines and holding on to them for the full three years or so before upgrading....or just outright buying the new m17x in which case I'd have three fairly new Aw notebooks around... :eek:

    I have no idea it looks like a new setup would run 1800+tax so I was hoping something somewhat close to that to help out with getting the m17x

    I can't seem to PM you spectrehewy but pm me and we'll talk I'm willing to go with 1000 or so on this (buying a voodoo envy at this price) and will likely just finance a new m17x to replace my m15x
