I would like to use a desk top for the following reasons:
1. Lower cost than Laptops
2. Can be readily adapted to fit my needs by adding cards etc
3. If a drive goes BO it can be changed.

These are the same reasons that I posted original
question abt using desktops!

I want the "flexibility" of a desktop as far as repairs
and upgrades..... but the low power consumption and
compactness of a laptop.

From what Ive learned just listening to everyones
opinions is.... that it n fact CAN be done using
smallish desktops. But maybe at a price
