There's Craigslist, too - a little less risky than eBay.

Actually, I've had more problems buying from Dell and the various Dell
refurbished online stores, than from either eBay or Cragislist.

Looks like it might be the Dell Vostro then.


Good plan. I use two mirrored file servers and/or NAS (network
attached storage) boxes. I don't just backup the work. I do image
backups of the entire hard disk so that the effort necessary to
restore Humpty Dumpty is much less than the mess produced by
overlapping incremental or partial backups. Think of backup in terms
of how long will it take to get you back to normal operation. It's
often much longer than you would initially suspect.

That depends on your setup. I have a spare PC and daily backups. If my
PC fails (which happened a few months ago) I fire up the spare PC and
pull the projects I need from the backups. It takes less than half an
hour to get up & running.
