My girlfriend's car just blew its head gasket. We need cash. So, I'm forced to sell my laptop to help her out.

Dell XPS2
2 GIGS ram
60gb/7200rpm drive
6800 Ultra 256MB

The thing is awesome. I'll miss it. I dont even have a backup computer, this is my primary - I play WoW all the time, HL2, you name it.

Best offer. Will NOT accept PayPal (dont trust it). Only taking Money Orders/Certified Checks/etc.

The laptop is in Chesapeake, Virginia.

Anyone? imidazole@cox.net

Please help, thanks!

Edit: Scroll down to my reply for pricing.

Edit2: Pics @ http://www.desolateflux.com/gallery/album46

I'll sell it for $1100.

You better provide some references.....then.
Using MO/ Certified Check, ect.. is like basically giving your money away without recourse or protection.

My apologies, I didnt know I had to put up a price.

I'd love to get $1500 for it. That would be my sweet spot. I'm willing to go lower though, I really dont know what they go for nowadays. The Head Gasket quote is $2200! I'm sure I can find someone to do it cheaper though.

References... well... hmm. I can also take credit card payments - I own my own web hosting business. www.serversunderthesun.com - Does that give me some credibility? I've sold other things via forums, but they have been car parts and such (Had a Camaro, a GTO, and drive an RX8 now).

I apologize if I cant prove I'm not fraudulent, but I can easily take pictures and such for someone truly interested!

Thanks for the interest guys, I hope someone can help us out lol. I just gotta put my gaming habit on a hold for RL stuff... damn volvos.

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention. I have al the original boxing, manuals, cables, etc.

It'll be shipped exactly as it was shipped to me when I bought it brand new. I'm notorious for keeping all that stuff, it just makes it so much easier to pack up in the future.

Yeah I gotta say that also if you let it go for 800 you would be getting ripped off

$1100 at least. Even thats a good deal

So for 1100 thats a good deal with a 6800 Ultra, but when for 1250 I can get a e1705 with 7800GTX.

Thanks for the input

Alright, I'll sell it for $1100. I'll go ahead and take some pictures for you guys, I'll try to do it tomorrow. Im sure it's out of warranty by now, I've had it for like 8 months? I dont even know what kind of warranty it comes with. The thing runs great, games great, kicks ass. I've replaced the power adapter once (the first one went bad, had that beeping sound that indicates its bad) - and the one that I have now is 3 months old or so.

Anyone seriously interested, that way as I take the pics, I can communicate with you about shipping/payment/etc? I'm flexible, I've been ripped off too. But, hey, at least I'm NOT asking for Western Union, and I'm NOT out of the USA :P Thats a good start, eh?

Hey guys! Sorry it took so long

I got pictures taken! http://www.desolateflux.com/gallery/album46

They're fairly extensive, I didnt want to leave any doubt about my credibility. So, any serious offers? Send me a PM, or email me at imidazole@cox.net - I think that $1100 is already dead low of a price, so no lower! I'm flexible with payment, credit card, money order, but absolutely no gay-ass rip-off paypal lol.

So would this be a Yonah 800FSB or the 533FSB?

All discs included but I did not see any word on warranty.

I am interested. I have a buyer for my Precision Laptop and this is what I was thinking about although its bigger then what I originally wanted.

Any dead pixels in the screen? Also whats the max resolution on that screen, I am not familure with 17" systems.

Thanks! And we would be doing credit card.

I honestly dont know. Hmm. The reviews for this laptop are @ http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=25862

I have no idea about the warranty. I've never had to use it. I've had it for a while, and I do know that I did not order any extra warranty from Dell when I got it. But she's tried and true, never been modified or overclocked.

I've cleaned the dust out of her a few times to keep max cooling performance.
