Computer/Storage Solution Advice

[BarTopDancer]

I'm already DRM free. Desktop is in my bedroom and unless someone wants to come and run wires for me it won't be able to be plugged into my stereo. I do run my iPod off my stereo though, so there is that. I will look at ORB too.

I'm not really concerned about running music off of either machine at this time - if I ever get a house or a place with a different set up (no, I am not moving any time soon ) then that would be an option. So I'm not looking to buy a machine with that purpose, though having it as an option would be nice. I was thinking if I do go with the laptop/desktop option then I'd get a low end desktop just to manage everything.

So are we leaning towards the laptop/desktop vote vs. just the laptop for everything?

I really hate being a techie sometimes. It gets expensive.

Discount is about 7%, stackable with coupons. Moonie, they have an education discount that is the same, you should use your kid to buy your computers for you. dell.com/epp I believe.

I'll wait for 7 (and then for the holidays... man I want a lot of fancy toys this holiday season).
