Ice,
notwitstanding my comments in the "Laptop" thread, I bought and used for a while a desktop. It was the ultimate in "Scroogeness" but at the sort of money I could pick up a new fast desktop, it was too good to pass up. I do have the luxury of being able to wheel the unit out, and with power a short distance away as well, so apart from the asthetics, this was a perfect system. If you are able, perhaps look at this as an option. Obviously if you need portability then it is not.
