NecessaryEvil has a few people on his/her side.
Project laptop value?

HP DV8230US:
Core Duo T2300
1gb RAM (2x512mb DDR2)
40gb hdd (capable of holding 2 harddrives, and I have the caddies. Original 2x80GB are with the original owner)
Atheros 5007EG wireless (original 3945G card died)
no DVDDL (original died, replacement was put in, but the system does not detect it. Windows doesn't detect a 2nd PATA controller.
128mb GeForce Go 7400
17" WXGA+ glossy (bright, no dead pixels, no problems with the screen)
4 USB 2.0
S-video
VGA
PCMCIA
Expresscard
5 in 1 card reader
10/100 Ethernet
56k modem
AC adapter
Battery gets 2 hours of life
Altec Lansing 2.0 speakers (sound's actually pretty decent)
XP Media Center Edition

XB2000 docking station
3 USB 2.0
S-video
RCA
VGA
modem
ethernet
SPDIF out
headphone out, mic in
Harmon Kardon speakers (sound's really REALLY good)

Potentially, an Expresscard TV tuner with remote, adapters, "effectively new" (I'm the first one to open it up, only had 30 minutes use)






Laptop and docking station are in good cosmetic shape. The only problem is with the optical drive, and I'd probably include a USB DVD burner.



I'm currently debating between whether to keep it and use it as a media center, or selling it off, along with my netbook, and a Dell GX270 and replacing the three things with a lightweight laptop. If I can find one with an Expresscard 54 slot, I'll keep the TV tuner, if not, I'll probably just sell it off and continue using my old CRT based TV.
