I need advice! stupid laptop.

Nerds preferred here. I bought a alienware m15x laptop in june 2008. Was a great comp, then the graphics card died. Got it warrantied then a year later it died again! tried to get it warrantied and those guys overseas just jerked me around and i got nowhere. the graphics card isn't cheap either. i think a new one is about 500 bucks. i just got fed up and got a desktop thats way better than the laptop. But the thing i really need advice on is what to do with it? i spent 4,800 dollars on this thing! every time i think of how much i spent i want to commit suicide. I thought i was getting a better product than i got. anyway im considering trying to sell it. I really need money to work up this 318 i have in the garage. It just would hurt so much to sell something i bought for 4,800 dollars for like 400 or 200 dollars! but what else am i going to do with the thing? i could make it a server for games but honestly 200 bucks sounds alot better than a server for a stupid damn game. Im sure a 300 hp 318 will bring me a lot more joy than a server. i just don't know if i can come to terms with selling this darn thing. it just hurts so much. what do you guys think am i crazy or stupid? help me guys!!!! what would you do? whats logical?
