FT: Dell XPS M170... looking for desktop.

Thread Starter 
I have the following system I'm looking to possibly trade for a desktop system:

2.26Ghz (currently the fastest CPU until Core 2 Duo debuts)
2GB RAM
Geforce 7800GTX
80GB HDD (7200 rpm)
17" with trulife
DVDRW
Wireless a/b/g
3 Year warranty

Looking to trade for a nice desktop system. I gave my wife my FX55, 2GB, 6800U system to use and I'm thinking of going back to a desktop and getting twin 2407s.

Thanks.

Just looking for offers atm. I'm in no rush at all and if there are no worthwhile options I'll just continue using this system as a desktop hehe. I'm looking for something better than my old desktop obviously, as the XPS cost more.

I would also trade for a light-weight Sony VAIO / MacBook Pro laptop (with warranty) + cash.

I just priced that out completely new parts from a major computer store here. That doesn't include the liquid cooling system as they don't sell it and I'm not sure what it goes for.

Unfortunately I'm looking for a high-end desktop in trade with current generation specs (dual core CPU, at least 2GB RAM, 6800 or 7800, etc). Even if I trade my laptop for your system + cash I would still need to upgrade the RAM, CPU, and video card and I really don't want to buy anything extra. Also is that board SLI? Unfortunately that system is a bit slower with less RAM than my old one I just gave my wife.

Thanks for your interest though, much appreciated.

Now THAT sounds like a fair trade. I've got about the same rig as you (laptop wise). For my Sony UX (worth about $400-$600 more) I get offered trades for desktop systems that have one 6800gt and get about 5,000 in 3dmark05'

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy...

Yeah, now I'm debating if I want to trade it for an XPS Gen2 or an M170 cause I like the flashy LEDS of the XPS line. This notebook component wise is the same as those two just minus the flash.

That is the type of system I have been hoping to get an offer like but so far I have gotten mostly the ones unknownman is talking about. Although I did get an offer of a nice system with an opteron 170 but it only had one 7800gt and a small HDD so I have been thinking about it.
