413438 2005-12-17 06:58:00 a friend of mine might have a laptop for sale very soon. its got a cracked screen so its nearly un-usable. he is getting a new one since a new screen was like 1000 bucks apparently. the laptop is a p4 ht 3GHz i belive, 40gb hdd, and 256mb ram. i wouldnt mind having it actually. could find a use for it. how much do you think its worth?

413439 2005-12-17 07:16:00 Bugger all really Prescott, unless you replace the screen you are confined to using it with an external monitor so it becomes a very small desktop with limited expansion options.

It is probably not worth more than a couple of hundred max.

Other opinions may vary.

413440 2005-12-17 07:23:00 Im aware that it wont be usefull, but i was thinking having it as a wee server or something.... Prescott (11)
413441 2005-12-17 07:37:00 You can still get a wee server for a few hundred. Unlucky really. DangerousDave (697)
413442 2005-12-17 08:01:00 yeah i suppose so, but not at those spec's.

just wanted to know how much it was worth....

413443 2005-12-17 09:41:00 Being me no screen I just get a PC. Defeats the purpose really of a desktop when you can get a PC. A laptop is much restricted than a PC .. the parts.

If I had to get it for whatever reason I say $450 max.

413444 2005-12-17 20:46:00 Its probably worth more in parts than what you/he could sell it for. lazydog (148)
413445 2005-12-18 02:06:00 $200

Would work well as a server, or even a media PC, plug that old girl into your TV.



In fact using it as a media Centre PC is a damn good idea, Tell your bud I'll offer $220...... :D

413446 2005-12-18 04:32:00 Thats a wicked idea.

it has a video out and built in wireless so i could just access it over wifi through VNC.
Excellent.
