Should I go for it?

[G-Nome]

I'm thinking about trading my desktop:

CM Centurion 5
Abit AW8
HIS X800XL
Corsair VS 2x1GB
Enermax Liberty 500W
Pentium D 930
1 80GB HD (WD IDE), 1 160GB HD (Maxtor SATA)
Pioneer DVD/CD burner
AC Freezer 7 Pro
.Windows XP Home
Also added a CM Aluminum 120mm Fan and a generic firewire card.

For a nice (albeit last-gen) shuttle and a pretty nice laptop (again, last-gen). I mostly use it for browsing the web anyway. I do play the occasional game (BF2, CoD) and do some graphic design stuff. Sound like a good deal?

Ok, now it sounds like a great deal (for you!) I'd go for it quick before he changes his mind. lol

Two lower systems for one? I'd say its a good deal for the guy as well. He'll be getting a system that currently outperforms both of his systems. Go with the trade.

take it sell the laptop and shuttle and buy a better computer.

Thanks everyone! I'm almost positive I'm going to go with it, but I have one more question: Do you think the Shuttle will be able to handle graphic design stuff as well as my current system? I've done some research, and it seems like it should, but I wanted to get some other opinions.
