    Thinking About A Trade,My PC for Your Laptop

    I recently finished building my new PC. Now that the fun and excitement of the build has wore off I'm left with an overpowered PC of which I'm clearly not using to its full potential. So, I'm looking to see if anyone has a super laptop they'd like to trade for my PC. I'm not 100% certain I want to trade, but if the right offer comes up I would definitely consider it. I have receipts for every single part that was purchased if needed. The PC build was about 4k. I also have the individual boxes/manuals from every part

    Specs:
    Case: Corsair Obsidian 800D full tower
    PSU: Corsair AX1200 Watt PSU
    MotherBoard: Asus Rampage IV Extreme
    WaterCooling: Corsair H100 closed loop system
    CPU: Intel i7-3930k 6core
    GPU: 2 Nvidia GTX 680's in SLI -Factory OC'd version
    RAM: 16GB Corsair Quad Channel Dominator GT running at DDR3 2000MHz
    SSD: "OS drive" Intel 520 Series 180GB SATA 6Gb/s
    HD: WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s for media
    LG BLU Ray burner

    I think that covers the components, Ill double check later to see if I left something out.

    Respectfully,

    me

    By super laptop... You basically mean a horizontal tower with a screen attached, right? Because that's the only way a laptop is going to reach a $4k price tag. Holy shit, lol. What kind of specs are you trying to get out of a laptop to justify a trade?

    Well, I guess 4k was with a 27" HP LCD, so it would be a bit less for just the tower. Honestly, Im not really sure. I was just thinking about this the other night. For how often I now game, which is very rare, I think a nice laptop would be a nice change for me. The more demanding thing I do is some video editing for large files, but not tons. I just got a bit carried away on the build without really considering my use as much as I should have.

    If you don't want an equally monster laptop, you could trying selling off some of the more expensive parts or even returning if it hasn't been that long. Could probably fund both a mid-range desktop and laptop between some of it.

    Guy on craigslist offered to buy it. Im no expert, but this seems like a scam to me. Im not even sure how his scam would work by simply having my paypal acct.

    Yes, it is. I also don't think I would sell a 4000 dollar laptop to anyone that didn't meet me in person, even if the buyer was legitimate, but to each their own.

    Craigslist + Paypal (or any other intangible money transfer)= Auto scam
