Heh. You can *buy* computer gear!?  Mine comes from the recycling,
hand-me-down stream.  Portsmouth is an IBM Netvista desktop box that's
probably 7 years old now.  When I look at the hardware being cast off
these days, though, it doesn't seem to be as good as in years past.  Maybe
I'm getting pickier....

But yes, you're certainly right about matching the machine to the task. 
With that in mind, I have been looking at the Newegg lately for hardware
and it seems quite affordable and certainly more capable.  And physically
smaller, too.
