You said case, so I’m not really sure if this is what you are looking for, but I know Infectious have some great ‘skin’ designs…

You could always get her one of those she likes for the aesthetics then a simple but sturdy protective case to protect the whole thing.

Question by : What’s the best website to sell a broken laptop on?
I have a gateway laptop that I have probably had for 3 years. And the fan is broken and the plug in where the battery charger goes into is also broken. Is there a website I can sell it on?

Answer by Biz Dj’s
You can usually sell anything on EBAY, just make sure you put that it is broken, or you could get into trouble… Just say selling laptop, AS IS, and say what is wrong with it.. And a good proce for something like that would probably be… 50 bucks? mabye a bit less? because there are people that fix laptops and stuff for fun, so i guess they would get a bite at it

For Sale: 00 – Apple MacBook Pro 17″ (2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HD) Laptop
laptop for cash

Image by “Cowboy” Ben Alman
At almost 00 new, this Apple MacBook Pro 17" Laptop is a great value, and is in excellent condition as well. I have had no problems with it, it has worked wonderfully. It’s just time for me to upgrade.

I upgraded the stock 2 GB RAM to 4 GB, and the stock 4200 RPM, 250 GB hard drive to a 5400 RPM, 500 GB model so applications would run more smoothly. The included OS X restore disc comes with 10.4 Tiger on it, but it also comes with the newer 10.5 Leopard, which is currently installed. You get both, and can use either one.

In addition, these items are included:

• DVI to S-Video / Composite adapter (not pictured)
• DVI to VGA adapter (not pictured)

I’ve been the sole owner and user of this laptop, I have taken extremely good care of it, and it shows, as the only blemishes are that some of the paint is worn from the a, s, and left cmd keys. The screen is in perfect shape and has no dead pixels that I know of.

These are the specs:

• 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
• 4GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM – 2x2GB
• 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 RPM
• MacBook Pro 17-in Hi-Res GL WS 1920×1200 pixels
• NVidia GeForce 8600M GT
• SuperDrive 8X (DVD+-RW/CD-RW)
• ExpressCard/34 slot, FireWire 800 port, FireWire 400 port, three USB 2.0 ports
• DVI output port
• Lithium-ion battery
• Built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet
• Built-in AirPort Extreme Card for wireless networking (802.11g)
• Built-in Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
• Backlit illuminated keyboard and ambient light sensor
• Preinstalled Mac OS X and other bundled software

Buyer will pay cash, in person (no checks, no shipping). I can drive to meet you, within 30 minutes of Watertown, MA. E-mail me if you’re interested, thanks!
