I wonder if I blasted

I really doubt doubt it
they'd probably start dancing
jumpin on my tip and
pissin in they pants

I'm also looking at this laptop right now:
Dell Vostro 1500 $549
- intel 2 duo t5270 1.4ghz 800mhz fsb/2mb cache
- 2gb ddr2 ram
- 160 gb hdd
- 8x dvd+rw

Those are the main things I'm concerned about since I don't play videos games really anymore on my PC and any that I do play are a few years old anyways. I'll probably format the laptop and put my xp pro on there. What do you guys think? Honestly...I just do hw, music, watch videos, browse online and thats about it with my computer so I figure I'd buy a laptop and consolidate space and when I move on out I won't have to lug a big computer with me.

Well my priority is a new laptop. I don't require a NAS atm. I have my other hdd's I'd still like to make use of and just use in external hdd cases instead or a drop in NAS box like you stated. I'm going to use my current hdd's until they crap out because for the time being I don't need to get rid of perfectly good hdd's or have the need to get bigger/faster hdds. I may consolidate them to one larger hdd over time, but not right now.
