really depends if you have the money to spare, i guess im a little more biased and would say to just keep the laptop. but if its one of those fun projects to do and some extra elbow grease to throw in, id say go for it

At 230k its probably going to need a rebuild. It probably needs rings and a bunch of other things he isn't telling you.....
