laptop

[JROK]

Yo guys,

I was looking into getting a laptop. Any suggestions??

under $1600
Windows XP Home
512mb ram (I could settle for less)
40gb hd


Also,

I built a pc 2 years ago. The sound card and graphics card are the only hardware components remaining from when I built it. The sound card is still working great, the graphics card is showing its age. No overclocking.

Say that I put it on ebay or somewhere else, how much could i get for the whole thing? or the parts?

AOpen AK79D-400max (1 month old)
AMD Athlon XP 2700+ (1 month old)
Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer
Gigabyte Radeon 8500pro
Asus 52x24x52 cd R/RW
Pacific Digital 4x2.4x12x DVD+R/+RW,DVD-R/-RW
WD 20gb 7200rpm hd (new)
ASPIRE ATX Mid-Tower Case with 350W Power Supply

Maybe do a little reasearch and see what the particular items are selling for. I found a way though to get much more than money from an old pc. get it up and running then give it to someone with a child that needs a pc. I bet you would find the smile on their face and the gratitude you receive would be more valuable than money.
