Same song, second verse.  After visiting a couple of local "builders," I've 
decided just to go with Dell.  I've made a couple of changes from the system I 
listed previously based on the profoundly elucidating advice and counsel I 
received from this august group.

My aging laptop suddenly is acting quirky, perhaps now realizing it's soon to 
be semi-retired, and I'm hoping it doesn't blow up before I can post this and 
get at least one or two replies, whether yea, nay, or "go to hell."  Unless 
somebody fires a seriously meaningful warning shot across my bow within the 
next 48 hours, I'm pulling the trigger on this one, the relevant bits and 
pieces of which are thus:

Dell XPS 600: Pentium D processor 830 with dual core technology (3.0GHz, 800FSB)

Operating system: Windows XP Media Center 2005

Memory: 2GB dual channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 2DIMMs

Monitor: 20-inch UltraSharp 2007FPW digital flat panel

Video card: 256MB PCI Express x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) nVidia GeForce 6800

1st Hard drive: 250GB serial ATA (7200RPM)

2nd Hard drive: 250GB serial ATA (7200RPM)

Floppy drive: 13-in-1 media card reader and 3.5 in. floppy drive

CD or DVD drive: Dual Drives: 48x CD-RW drive + 16x DVD+/-RW double layer write 
capable
