1. what happened to the old one?

[Initech]

3. The one I'm using right now is a piece of shit.

I have a 2 year old Powerbook G4 but it will not run everything I need.

The one I'm using right now is a 667Mhz Celeron that is 7 years old and can barely run Windows XP.

12. All that _AND_ the fun of DIY? Color me jealous! nm

[Initech]

13. It's going to be sweet when I get it put together.

My wallet is much lighter, though, it cost me about $1400 w/ monitor. Which is great because if I went with one of the big box companies like Dell or Gateway, I'd be paying nearly twice that much! And they'd probably void my warranty if I used an OS other than Windows Vista.

14. Please tell me it wasn't a Dell n/t

[Initech]

15. Hell no! I've had quite a few bad experiences with them.

I bought a laptop about 7 years ago from them. It was expensive, and I had so many parts replaced that it's not exactly the same as when I first bought it. See reply #9 for what I got, I'm going with the DIY route.
