\_ The point is to work on the thesis at home, in the study cubicle, at the

\_ I could do this with a $1000 system, and maybe I should.

\_ Unfortunately, I want to use the thing for some hobby projects that

Snork. Years ago, I laid out the bucks for a nice new system for my
graduate CS thesis in computer graphics. The monitor has an issue
now, (and Erv's quoted me a believable scarcity of parts such that I
stalled on a fix; Erv seems good), and I plopped in some more memory
and a 4.5G drive, but the rest of the system...is from 1995. Good for
everything I've needed to do since and including my thesis. The power
plant for this awesome machine?....
a p-120.
Heh. I *am* contemplating upgrading tho. I want more eye candy.
