For the price of that one lappy you could build an i7 gaming rig and still get a cheap laptop.

I think a lot depends on the bandwidth and hardware requirements of the games you're running, and the datacenter where the server is located. I've used GameServers for quite some time, but lately the service in the Dallas datacenter has been horrible. Chicago is *slightly* better, but even as I type this my Chicago based UT server is down due to unknown issues. If I didn't have my high bandwidth servers there at $.049 / $0.75 per slot, I'd move them elsewhere. For my less played servers, I just host it on my two 50/10 business lines. Not the greatest pings, but I've had over 100 players connected at a time without any real issues.

The SC430 is here in Denver, the XK8 is at my home in Seattle. The XK8 NEVER gets driven anymore, but I need transportation when I'm living there.

We've had a REALLY WEIRD winter this year in the central part of Denver I live in. Since the start of winter we've had less than 9 inches of snow, and today we hit 74 degress. Forecast for tomorrow: Partly cloudy in the mid 70's.

They're old, but at least they're paid for... LOL I wanted to sell em' and get something nice, but considering last year I put 400 miles on one and 1,700 on the other, it didn't really make sense to go thru the hassle and expense.
