I thought about buying an older P3 800 laptop but I don't want to spend the money on something that's days are numbered. Being I have $1,000's worth of desktop parts laying around that's what will get used.

I thought hacking up a AL carry case for my CNC was a hell of a lot more practical and justified then all the $100's people spend in bling for their comps? Maybe not? :shrug:
