Honestly? $40 maybe if it was built well. I am personally just not very interested in any console with an optical drive, or any console which requires active cooling. I like the old stuff.

Besides all of that, without seeing it in person to check for possible problems, especially with something that was sposed to have water cooling and be portable, any small fault in design or manufacture of such a thing would render the whole thing useless at the first small drop or even without a drop. BAD mojo there.

Because, you know, jaqiefox isn't a real person. Just an artificial AI that roams the forums... :roll:

You're asking a forum of people who would probably rather make one then pay the large sum you're expecting to hear from someone. I know this because you've asked this question several times, and none of the answers are good enough for you...

Nothing, you projects blow chunks. If you didnt ask for outrageous sums of money for them I would be nice to you.
Oh and didnt you say the xbox 360 sucks? You dissed the thinnest, and most beautiful one ever made saying it blows because its an xbox. You are a horrible person who is using this honest hobby to scam for profits

Here are a couple of old threads (please don't bump them) that should give you an idea:
http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=42368 Buyer looking to pick one up around $1000
http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=42311 Buyer looking to pick one up around $1000
http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=42913 Buyer with $1000 budget, seller selling for $800
http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=42592 Seller selling for $500
eBay doesn't keep a very long history anymore, but here's what came up when I searched past listings for "xbox 360 laptop":
Starting bid $350, free shipping, didn't sell:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Xbox-360-Slim-L ... 2a14b27cb1
Same laptop relisted, sold with one bid at $350:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Xbox-360-Slim-L ... 2a145115f0

So, $350-1000 depending on quality. People buying these want perfection for the price they pay. It's not that your laptop doesn't work, it's just that the level of finish is not up there with something like Ben Heckendorn's fully CNC'd 360 laptop. Sorry to break it to you.

There's this too. Unless there is a buyer who comes here with the sole intention of buying a 360 laptop, at least 90% of the Benheck population is young people under 18 (with no money) or college students (also with no money). This is a hacking community, we can help you with problems you have along the way with creating your 360 laptop, but this isn't the best place to sell one.

Without pictures, it's hard to put a value to something whose value depends a lot on visual appearance and finish.

Theoretically, it could be anywhere from $500-$5000.
