Default Price check : Clevo M570U

About a year old:

Clevo M570U
WUXGA 1920x1200 glossy 1 stuck blue pixel
T7400 2.16 C2D
Dell 1490 WiFi (can replace with Intel 3945 but have this installed for use with Hackintosh OSX)
Travelstar 7K200 200gb 7200 RPM HDD
Matsush*ta UJ-210 Blu-Ray drive with PROPER drivers loaded so it doesn't do the endless-seek thing when you boot with a BD loaded (still using the DVD-RW cosmetic plate so it fits/looks right)
7950GTX
2GB DDR667 RAM
New keyboard (haven't installed yet, I just HATE used/worn-till-they-are-shiny keyboards)

Battery still excellent and lasts for 1h30-2h at max brightness depending on whether you're watching a DVD or just browsing. I don't game on battery (for obvious reasons) so can't tell you how it does.

Overall cosmetic condition of the laptop is good, minor scratching on the sides from use but nothing major and no scars. Display sharp and decently bright. It was never a flamethrower to begin with but is adequate.

I'd say around 1300. Mainly because you have a Blu Ray drive and you have a WUXGA screen.

Edit: May I ask where you got the drive from?

I bought it off Ebay (it's a Dell sourced drive, likely a pull from a notebook) although a few places have 'em now. XoticPC has them available online for ~$500 but they're less on Ebay. I've bought 3 BD drives from there thus far and no issues at all.
