I always thought it would be cool to put my A500 in one of those Micronik towers....then my wife pointed out the impractibility of it.

When compared to my A3k...yeah.  8-)    She puts up with my radio and electronics stuff but she's not too keen on my computers.  Especially since I've been unemployed since December. 8-(

When I got laid off, I was working in testing of electronic assemblies.  I've done in-circuit with various ICT systems and functional testing with a VXI.  My official title was Test Engineer Assistant so I got to do more than just test boards.  My limited knowledge of the insides of a Fairchild Factron might come in handy some day.  I wish I had had more time to learn the various OSs I used there.
 
That job was both a blessing and a curse.  There aren't any jobs like that around here now that will hire a student for part time (one of the reasons I suspect I was laid off).  So, I've been looking at other markets.  I've had 15 interviews and no job offers becuase they freak out when they find out what I was making at my last job.  However, it looks great on my resume.
