Well, after investigating how much time and money it would cost to try and
upgrade my harddrive on this system, as well as my fans, I've decided to
just take the plunge and buy a new system.

So, anyone have some good tips on how to buy a system that is a little
cheaper than "cutting edge" but will still stay usefull for a fairly long
time?   

Right now, I am thinking about an Athlon XP 1800 system, and just using my
old monitor on the new system.   I don't really use my computer for
anything too extraordinary, mostly e-mail, Internet, word-processing, etc.
- but I will be wanting to use it for some Economic Statistical Work (at
least Excel, maybe some SPSS) and a few games (part of the reason to
upgrade is to be able to buy Civ III. :)
