Really, really want to build (or at least upgrade) a desktop PC.  Even with the newer laptop.

I'm not going to be able to build or buy a new computer until sometime after I graduate and get a real job. And I might end up buying one of these rather than building a new machine. I like the SFF format, but it's tough to build something cheaper than that.

I ended up just getting an external hard drive (finally) to do a true backup of things.  2tb can be had for a song now.
