Strange to see the new interface requires 64MB of memory. According to an article I read just yesterday: "Microsoft is expected to recommend that the "average" Longhorn PC feature a dual-core CPU running at 4 to 6GHz;...
I second the Fry's suggestion -- just picked up a bag there last week (though it was up here in NoCal). They had a couple Targus bags that fit my 4780 perfectly... it's in there nice and snug, and the power supply slides right in next...
