    Wow I am getting ready to sell mine which I upgraded with a Intel X7800 CPU so stock mine runs at 2.6Ghz and with Turbo @ 2.8Ghz. Plus mine has the 1680 x 1050 resolution screen. Do you think $1100 is ok to ask ??

    Well it depends on how long you've had it, but with those specs and I'm guessing that graphics card is similar, you should be able to sell it for about $1300.

    I'd be interested in hearing other's opinions as well. I ran across that auction myself and am very tempted considering I have a 10% off coupon for ebay. Only downside seems the 8600GT card.
