I have a homebuilt desktop (core components were upgraded 14 months ago on a <$800 budget) and a 2011 13" MBP. In addition to gaming, my uses include programming/software development and image manipulation (Photoshop), and I'm very satisfied with this combination.
My brother has a top of the line 2011 15" MBP. While it can run most newer games, it's still significantly slower than my desktop where gaming is concerned, despite the fact that said desktop is now over a year old and has a mid-range GPU (Radeon 5770). Towards the end of this year I will likely replace the 5770 with a next generation high end card (for all of ~$250 at that), and the aforementioned comparison will then border on absurdity. Because powerful GPUs will eat up a lot of wattage in short order and put out a lot of heat to match, they don't pair well with mobile platforms and thus there's really no alternative to a proper desktop if you have any serious interest in gaming.
Besides, it's nice to have some level of redundancy in a worst case scenario. Laptops are relatively prone to theft and hardware failure (though you can certainly mitigate the risk of the former to a very low level). Oh, and definitely build the desktop yourself. It's really pretty easy these days (what with the vendors themselves matching parts for you, and every major hardware site out there offering build guides) and you'll get better parts for the money. Putting it together can be fun in its own right, if you enjoy tinkering.

I've been considering getting involved with this for some time now. Do you have any experience with using the software/participating in this at all? My knowledge of it is limited but it sounds interesting.

Hello. Just ordered the iPad 2. When I tried out the original iPad, I felt uncomfortable holding it for even a few minutes. I felt like the iPad was going to break my fingers. (I am a bit exaggerated!) Although the iPad 2 is lighter, I should look for a holder/case that allows me to hold the device comfortably. Any recommendation? Thanks.

how many users untill saturation point of sata?
As others have mentioned, this isn't possible ATM given the lack of information.
If you at least posted the IOPS performance data from that server, it would help.

If not watching stuff (e.g. using Plex) at the same time as using it as a desktop it should work, but I'd wait for the next Mac Mini refresh if I were you. Apart from the redesign, the Mac Mini 2010 update was pretty disappointing. In fact even the redesign was disappointing as it made it much harder to replace the stock hard drive (though replacing the RAM is much easier than it was before).
If the 13" MBP recent update going from Core 2 Duo to a Core i5 is anything to go by, the Mac Mini refresh hopefully within the next few months or so should bring a substantial CPU update giving a significant performance boost.

Wikimedia seems to have bugs with '&' characters in titles. The 'Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White)' page was never actually deleted, it's just that when you tried to go to it it would take you to 'Power Macintosh G3 (Blue' instead.

Transporteur: after all the research and different configurations I've done over the last 24 hours, I've come full circle back to the one you recommended, which was... :D
1 OS SSD, 1 scratch SSD, 1 bootable backup (1TB), 1 3TB storage drive, 1 3TB backup drive.
The only modification I have here is to use a 2TB storage drive as I want proper versioning out of Time Machine with that using a 3TB drive.
The other thing I'm thinking is to add a 6th drive to clone the storage drive, so if that does fail, then I can work right off the cloned drive with no down time. What do you think about that?
Oh yea, also a 7th drive (I know, this is getting out of control) for weekly clone back ups of the boot, scratch, and storage drives that will be kept off site.
Edit: How does this drive look for the scratch drive?

And this one for the boot drive? It's only 70MB/s write but write isn't that important on the boot disk, right?

I really hate the "Windows" key...
I like better "command" key than "apple" key. Portuguese keyboards (at least) don't have the apple logo and I think it looks childish.
Also, I don't understand the "Option" key...
My keyboard says "fn", "ctrl", "alt" with it's symbol of a Z and a trace and "cmd" key, with that funky square...

OK I tried 2 ways to install the OS onto the laptop.
The first way I tried gave me an error message stating to restart computer right as the install was starting.
The 2nd way I tried things a little different but when it got to the install point there is just a rainbow disk turning and it says Preparing Disk its been sitting like that for about 20 minutes now.
I took pictures of everything as I did this both ways maybe the pics can help out in some way.for the way the pictures uploaded into Photo-Bucket start at the last picture and work your way back Thanx again for any help.
Here is the link from my Photo-Bucket

Wordpress is great to use once you've got to grips with it. Your client will most likely be thankful if you do as it really is one of the easiest for them to use. Check out WooThemes (http://www.woothemes.com/amember/go.php?r=22646&i=l1)* if you're struggling to get a site you like the layout of �*they have a variety of themes aimed at niche markets, and a lot where it is more geared towards a website rather than a blog.
Good luck whatever route you take! Let us know how you get on :)

I always liked the name Showtime. It was suggested when Apple announced movies on iTunes.
Too bad this name is already used. It is the name of a premium cable/satellite movie channel in the US. Being that both are in the same "industry" you would never be able to secure the rights to the name.
Apple is not going to change the name iTunes. They already changed the name of the store from iTunes Music Store to just iTunes Store. They are not going to change the name of the app.
