idle0095 · 05-26-2009, 04:06 PM

Just wondering what my Dell XPS M1530 is worth. Its one year old and has 3 Year complete care warranty.
Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X7900 2.8GHZ
4G Corsair 800MHZ Memory
Nvidia 8600M GT
15.4" WUXGA LCD
Blu-Ray Re-writeable
256GB SSD Samsung
Bluetooth
9 Cell & 6 Cell Battery
Midnight Blue LCD Cover
What is this worth. Also the warranty is still good for over 2 years and just because the CPU was updated by myself dell will still warranty the original cpu i still have. so whats it worth????

I probably price it around 1,000. How much did you pay it for?

Considering its 1 year old, the value might be around 900.

Djembe · 05-27-2009, 01:25 PM

I'd put it closer to $1200-$1300, considering the upgrades.

idle0095 · 05-27-2009, 01:51 PM

what about the solid state hard drive. its worth $600 on ebay. i paid $750 for it. but i put the processor in it and changed the display and color of the computer. as well as added faster memory and the ssd.

You might want to consider swapping out the SSD, then sell it separately. The combination sale would bring you more $

cheers ...

ya if i sold it i would be keeping the ssd for sure.

I'm more into 17", but I would guess 1200 w/blu ray and w/o the ssd.

Pull the BluRay drive, SSD, Ram and CPU and sell them all separately and sell the computer bone stock with warranty. That will net you the most bucks for sure.

$0 after parted out at best. The parts about $300? 8600m GT is worth about $0. Together or separate $400 tops I think $300.

Edit: The market dropped since May. I suspect your SSD has the wrong controller which makes is worthless.
