    Im in a very weird spot right now, because of many ups and downs in my recent graduate life i have pretty much sold part by part my main desktop pc. I want to make the best of all my stuff but cant figure out what to do with all this hardware in my hands, heres the list.

    HP DV6 4087la, Some keys of the keyboard are dead, needs new batery and it overheats like a champ (Before thermal paste it was 78C on iddle....with new thermal paste its 55C on iddle still hot as hell under load), The specs are , I7 2630QM,4gb ram, 250HDD, AMD 6570m. NOTE (I think if i keep using it it will burn the motherboard sooner or later).

    Vostro 1320 (My first lappy, the eternal champion) So this is a Core 2 Duo laptop, with 4 gigs of Ram and no HDD, batery is fine, but theres no keyboard and the screen is broken. It actually still works with a Ubuntu Live USB.

    Desktop PC, After all the selling and stuff i ended up with a , G540 intel cpu, 4 gigs of ram DDR3 Corsair, Corsair Gs500w psu, 1tb HDD, Coolermaster Elite 120 Case, and a Gigabyte H77 Wifi Mini itx motherboard, with an old and still working after a guetto mod GT220, damn those things last.

    I also have a Intel G3528 cpu with heatsking and original box.

    So... yeah... What the hell do i do, to end up with only 1 System that i can Carry in a travel Bag inside my country. All i have is this hardware and about 70 usd to use, i can either go lap or desktop, i still got an old Samsung 21 inch VGA monitor. Any ideas?

    Are you in the US? You can donate it all to charity and write it off in your tax forms.

    Or put it all on Craig's List or ebay. Its not worth too much, maybe $500 with a lot of patience selling it
