80gb hard drive you can get for $14 to $16



So 9 laptops for $300 would come out to $33.33 add $36 for parts for a total of $69 per laptop that you can now sell for around $150 ($81 profit for each system x 9 = $729)

It must be a regional thing because around here I look to get 50-100 for a laptop of that configuration. Anyone can buy a brand new dual core Dell at Walmart for under 300 which drives the value down like crazy. That configuration in a desktop around here brings 75-150.
