Well, just in case I can't get my PC problems fixed permanently I've
been looking for a replacent. I love the HP Touchsmart 1Q775, but I
guess it's new because I can't find a better price online than I can in
a real store -- about $1500. I _did_ manage to find another profile PC
that would fit my office desk the best, an  HP Compaq Business Desktop
dc5100 - P4 520 2.8 GHz. Trying to  find out tech info on it, but since
it's discontinued that's turning out to be difficult...but it's cheap
($304 wo/monitor) and has the flat form factor I'm looking for. I can
also get it with XP, not Vista, like I'd get stuck with if I buy the
1Q775.
