My wish list:

Under $1,800.00. Under 20 lbs. with handle.

Fast processor

Fast 100 gig HD

1gig ram

20" or larger monitor. Hi-res, fast response, bright with good contrast

Very fast video card in standard upgradable slot for future expansion. Can use manufacturer reference video drivers

DVI to HDMI 10' cable included

AC only power supply has built in surge protector with 2 available AC outlets. Power supply replaceable by consumer but part of system. 10' cord is only cord needed for system. Mouse quiet. Optional large external battery that will power system for 6 hours.

Wireless keyboard made for typing / no touch pad. Wireless mouse.

Wireless LAN, gig Ethernet and modem built in.

6 open USB ports

XP media center

DVD burner

Decent speakers with volume control knob.

Rugged enough to travel on regular basis. 3 year warrenty.

My laptop stinks and my desktop is showing its age. This could be the center of my universe.

I want portability between the office and LAN parties and the living room with my big screen HD TV.

I am a system admin and know the Directors, Board members, President, and CFO would each like one but it has to be basic black to pass as a business expense. I on the other hand want the flame paint job and/or light strips to impress at my LAN parties. Custom accessories are a big market for cars. Why not PCs?

How about translucent flames with rotating colors underneath?
