Wow.  That was easy (cue big, red button...'that was easy...').

Lemme try.

I own an old computer.  I want it in a newer/better/faster format,
quad-core with multiple terabytes or something.  I have a keyboard, but
it's not connected (to the new box) so it's awful to use.  I could get
it online and pay for it, but I want it NOW.  I thought about building
it, but it would take too many dollars to make on my low-speed budget.

Anyone have it?
