modified appropriately e.g. with an SSD.
Consider buying a used, "refurbished", "off-lease", etc., machine.
Craig's List and Tiger Direct can have good deals, if you know what you
want and you're patient.

Of the various ways I have to connect portable hard drives, I've found
internal caddies/ drawers/ bays to be the fastest (250+ MB/s), then
eSATA (~70MB/s), then Firewire 400 (~40 MB/s), then Gigabit (~30 MB/s),
and last is USB 2.0 (~25 MB/s). Choice of method can save hours (or.
days) when moving TB's.
