Greetings folks,
I just did an ebay search for Alienware laptops and found a Area 51 with the following specs:
CPU: Pentium 4 3.4 GHz (with Hyper-threading)
Memory: 2 GMB
Hard Drive: Hitachi 160GB 4200RPM
24X DVD-ROM / CD-RW Combo Master Drive
Radeon 9000 Graphics Card (512MB)
Built in Ethernet (10/100)
3.5 3-Mode FDD (A51M)
Alien Autopsy Diagnostics
Charcoal Black Case
Windows XP Professional with Office XP Pro!
Alienware Master CD
Alienware Laptop Binder Manual
Mouse Pad
Games Loaded Included:
Max Payne 2

Postal 2
Armed and Dangerous
Chaser
Diablo II
Worms II
Warcraft III

The Buy It Now price is 1200 buck with bidding starting at $370. Is that normal? Its new-in-box too. Sounds fishy but I may be wrong.
Forum please advise.....

My comments above pertained only to my assessment of the hardware. The WinXP Pro installation is a decent value. I won't even try to value the games. They would be zero value to me unless I could sell them easily. BTW, you wrote "installed" for the games. Does that include the original game CDs? If not, the value should zero for you as well.
