    If this is too close to a FS thread and needs to be moved, I apologize. Mods please be kind!

    So I bought this thing so I could sit downstairs and play on the couch instead of having to go sit in front of my desktop up in the bonus room. Somehow, this pisses off my wife more.

    I've upgraded the CPU to a real (non-ES) P9500 and the HDD to a 72000RPM 320GB Seagate. The laptop itself is in perfect condition and has spent most of it's life in the Booq Boa XXL bag. I plan on selling the laptop, the bag, my Coolermaster Notepal Infinite laptop cooler and the Kensington 120W travel adapter all at once.

    So what should I ask for it?

    probably not as much as you'd like.

    upgrades while fine and dandy are hardly things people want to pay more for on the second hand market (even if they're useful upgrades)

    i'd start bidding at $750 and hope someone bites at that price. i wouldn't expect much more than that though.
