I'm working on that route, too. Currently I have a list of hardware. It will be probably a few months before I'm ready to start... and I'll be doing a piece at a time, for the most part

My Dell is still very reliable, so it will become the second machine in a feeble home network. I and a couple friends like to play a few games on LAN here and there, and I'm getting sick of moving stuff - it's heavy.

One is trying to convince me to get into Diablo II, but right now the only thing I care about is quieting down my computer and getting my empeg into the car.
