Your Windows 98 laptop won't live forever Gregg. And getting a second hand computer is a bit dodgy. Personally, I prefer to supply the pubic hair to the keyboard and the dirty smudgeprints to the buttons myself, and not have it done for me.
That said, getting a desktop is silly these days too. Use an xbox for gaming, laptop or netbook for mobility, and a nettop* for a fixed in place computer.
(* I didn't coin the name. Don't blame me. Regardless of the silly name, a computer using 40 watts rather than 800 watts doing basic tasks sounds good to me.)
