Got a dell Inspiron E1705/9400. I've had this thing for around 4 years now, suprised its lasted as long as it has.
Anyhow. The video card is getting ready to go, having decided that the video displays best with artifacts all over the screen. A quick search on ebay shows that replacement cards are in the 250 range, and probably even more directly from dell. It of course doesn't have an extended warranty. It has wear marks from use -- a lot of them. Here's the stats:
Intel Core 2 duo (don't have the exact model, it's the 1.6ghz proc though.)
4GB Corsair ddr2 800 (locked at 667, upgraded from 1gb)
250gb Western Digital 7200 rpm drive (self-upgraded)
dell 802.11 b/g wireless card
9 cell battery (holds a little over 2 hours charge on battery, with the panel dimmed)
17" matte panel was replaced about a year after having bought the unit and works great.
I was thinking 250, no more than 300 if I included the hard drive and RAM. Thoughts? if it isn't even worth that, I would probably dump the original hard drive back in it, the 1gb of base RAM and sell for 200. the drive and memory has other uses in other systems.
