Resolved Question

i7 3610QM, lost cause?

by Jun 14, 2014 11:55AM PDT

looking for a home for this thing. Can't seem to find a Mini ITX motherboard supporting these for near/under 100 bucks. Also can't seem to find a decent priced laptop that could use one of these.
Am I wasting my time trying to find a home for this thing or should I just try and put it up on ebay or something similar?

It looks cheaper to get a CPU and MB.
