Here is a Lenovo &#8220;Pentium&#8221; branded Sandy Bridge laptop for $268! at Fry&#8217;s (Silicon Valley, don&#8217;t know about other regions).  That&#8217;s a little too good for me to pass up as my old wooden computer experiment [...]]]></description>

It was acting slow and sluggish, then the RAID 1 dropped a drive out saying it was failed (I&#8217;ve used RAID 1 on all my PCs for a while now, an dI highly recommend it).
