Suggestions for a PC build with dual monitors?

Is the SSD performance that much better than a SATAII HD? I was wondering, what if I just skipped out on the SSD and used a SATA2 HD thus spending more on other things or less overall.

Seeking help in spec'ing out new HP laptop (CPU + graphics mostly)...

I agree, I currently have my HP laptop's keyboard, and top chasis removed revealing the motherboard, so that it can emit heat better.

I haven't thought about that, and I was just thinking of using my desk. My current monitor supports DVi/VGA and I bought a monitor stand for it (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FLXW90).

What should I do with my HP laptop?

I wouldn't use it while driving, of course. Interesting fact, I saw a lot of people watching TVs in their cars while driving in Japan. I also had an idea to turn my laptop into just like an iMac (http://www.apple.com/imac/), but I would have to consider a lot of factors before doing that.

So, after 3 years of using a laptop for everything. I still feel attached to having a powerful desktop especially because I love to use a mouse and keyboard, and it feels weird to do that with a laptop. 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing...

I am using HP, so my quick install is basically a recovery. It will just recover the system to what it is now. I don't think that would help, but I guess I can try it.

It's a Vista feature. You can back up your entire computer, and then "restore" the back up later. Here is some info: http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-backup-your-data
