    It's been in the offing for awhile now, but lately my Inspiron 8200 has been disintegrating at an increased rate. The case is developing more and more small cracks--at least one piece has to be kept on with tape--and now the LCD hinge on the left hand side has broken.

    Despite all this, most of the actual components are in excellent shape. The LCD is well maintained despite a minor scratch and a couple of nigh-invisible dead pixels. The overall system works fine, it's just the construction that's the problem. Hence, I've been considering auctioning off the parts, particularly the mobo and LCD, in order to scrape together enough to fund a replacement laptop.

    I've been looking on eBay to get a feel for pricing, and I've seen motherboards for around $200, and video cards around $100, but I can't find any UXGA LCDs. So, my question is, does anybody happen to know what kind of value the UXGA LCD might be able to fetch?
