Yea i'm with you on this. Todd you are selling that Athlon 64, THAT is your CPU.
Most laptops don't require a cooling pad for desktop use, only for laptop use (meaning it's actually on your lap while you are working)
You could probably get a decent laptop for the parts you are selling...especially if you didn't mount the CPU on the motherboard yet. I bought (for a client) an HP Athlon 64 laptop for about $1k. Now I'm not recommending HP because the damn thing had to go back after 2 weeks when the vid card died, but I've seen Lenovo/Thinkpads for under $1k. I can't recommend those machines enough.
I'm not a fan of docks. Most laptops these days have a VGA port, audio out and USB ports sufficient for mouse and keyboard. Docks are just something else to break, and they break way too often.
If you are buying a laptop, the ONLY time I recommend an extended warranty is for a laptop purchase and ONLY if it covers accidental damage.
Hope that helps.
