[wplug] A new Machine

[John R R Leavitt]

I have found that building my own gets me what I want at a decent 
price.  Bilding a machine isn't nearly as scary as it sounds, although you 
can spend a bit of time working out what config you want and where to buy 
stuff from.  Streetprices, Pricescan, Pricewatch, and iBuyer.net have all 
served me well.  As has eBay.

Just my $0.013 (stock market hit me too hard to give $0.02 this year)
