Help me price my system

Hey guys, I love my desktop, but since I started school again I need the portability of a laptop. Help me price my system so I can see if I can afford to buy a new Macbook

I would say, at a quick glance, around $1000. I have seen local ads for a 20-inch Apple display for $500, 1.25Ghz Minis at around $400, and I am throwing in $100 for the other stuff.

$1000 sounds like a reasonable valuation, might be a tough sell, bottom line mini.

Try it piecemeal. Mac Minis still getting good value on Ebay. Try the Cinema Display locally. Throw in the extras with either one. You never know. And I checked today, and looks like the MacBooks have hit the sale page at Apple.ca. So maybe you lose a little with your sale, but gain a little with your purchase.

Only black MacBooks left, the other ones must have been sold. Check back often. I think the white 2.0 was $1225.
