Just ordered 5 minutes ago...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156074 RAIDMAX APEX ATX-802BP Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450W Power Supply

My laptop finally died after 7 years.  The Compaq Presario 2100 served me well, and it died of old age - and a power surge to the power supply system.  While I contemplated a new laptop, I decided that I really don't need a laptop because I don't really ever take it anywhere.  And, if I do want to use a laptop for whatever reason, I have this, my work laptop.

I'm pretty sure I'll notice a difference in speed from my AMD 1.8Ghz 1Gb laptop.

I have two 19 inch flat screens from Hanns-G. One of them came with a dead pixel, which was kind of disappointing since you can't return it with just one dead pixel.

Overall, it looks to be a well-rounded system for business purposes (Web browsing, word processing, porn, etc.)

Thanks for the feedback, Chris.  That's exactly what I'm going to be using it for.  I don't play games on the computer because, if I did, that's all I would do... ever.  Addiction.  Feh.

XP and some flavor of linux - probably Slack.

Though, I have licenses for EVERY MS OS going back to 3.1, so I have my pick, there.

I'll let you borrow my MS-DOS 6.0 install floppy disks if you ask really nice.   :-D

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."

Rules?  We don't need no stinkin' rules!

Oh, and the parts arrived today.  I just finished putting it together.  It's quite nice.  One benefit that I think I'm going to take advantage often of is included with this motherboard.  It has a 5-second boot-to-internet built in OS so that you can quickly jump online and chat  (IM)/send email/browse the web etc.
