It is almost always wrong to buy a computer because it has some capability that you will need 6 months from now. I bet when you get to grad school, you're going to discover you ``need'' yet a different computer.

What are you doing with the previous computer?

Things which are marketed as ``computer desks'' are usually a poor desk to use for anything, including a computer. I have a pair of filing cabinets, and a door that I bought as an unfinished door with no cutouts for the lockset, and then finished it. Of course, this has been my desk for many years, and I'm still debugging the whole ``keyboard tray'' concept.

Right now it's sitting on my paintbox, actually. I like having access to both computers. For now, one is my "play 'puter" (has internet access, crashes frequently) and the other is my "work 'puter" (faster than a flying fox, has all the software I need put on it already). Eventually, I think I will put a new internal Hard Drive in my old iMac. I will keep it until I am ready to move to NYC.

I went desk-shopping with precise measurements in my head, and came back with a desk that fit my old iMac, scanner, zip drive, CD-RW drive, and other odds and sods very well. However, my eMac is bigger and heavier than my iMac, so it doesn't fit it.
