It's at times like these that I remember that while my laptop is pretty good for a laptop, it's nothing compared to a good desktop. You've got a pretty good setup from the looks of things and darn, both your desktop and laptop are beyond anything in this house :P
Also, what version of Ubuntu Linux are you running and are you running 32-bit or 64-bit (I assume the latter)?
Anywho, onto my lesser specs, which I'll mostly copy-paste from the old computer specs topic in General:
OS: Linux Mint 9 Isadora - x64 Edition (fairly heavily customised) & Windows Vista Home Premium (pretty much never used)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.21-generic x86_64 (pretty old I know, even by Ubuntu/Mint standards but there are some bugs concerning my hardware with newer kernels)
Memory: 4GB DDR3
CPU: 2x Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3400 @ 2.16GHz (cache size = 1024kb)
Motherboard: CathedralPeak (Acer), Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset
BIOS: Phoenix (V1.10)
HDD: 320GB Western Digital, Model ATA WDC WD3200BEVT-2
Graphics: Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset
Ethernet Controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8071 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Network Controller: RaLink RT2860
Model: Acer Aspire 5735z
Battery: rechargeable (LION) with 4400 mAh capacity
Casing: Stock
Usable USB 2.0 Ports: 3
DVD/CD drive: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT10N
Card reader: Generic Multicard
Current boot speed: 45 seconds (that's "boot to a fully loaded desktop and including the few seconds spent at login screen". Pretty long wait, but with Vista I recall it taking several minutes)
Not too shabby for a laptop that I got over a year and a half ago now. Graphics card fails badly for gaming but I can live with it. Vista is pretty much never used, even for gaming. Hopefully the next computer I get will either be a custom desktop or something I've built, although I must admit I'm more of a software guy than a hardware guy >.<

That's not too bad, myself my 4 fans on the case + CPU cooler never gets my cores higher than 27C on full load, my system runs at ~32 and my case always feel so cold to rub :P

Haha I love the Xclio case package; this thing is real heavy though. Solid steel through the whole thing, and nothing is cheapy or breakable. Not only that, like your's, it's fun to feel it and notice it's like 40 degrees to the touch lol Thing lights up like space ship too though o.o

Cool case.
Im still looking for a case with some more cooling potential.
My motherboard isn,t verry happy with my current case, it reaches a temperature of 70oC within 60 minutes >:(.

This makes me hate my computer even more :(

Save up money, go to newegg.com, look around, research, and order parts to create your own, or upgrade your current one. That's what I did~

Desktop, it's an ASUS but idk what model or anything.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Headset: I broke them, but they were some crappy Asian brand anyway.
Speakers: All I know is the brand is 'Olympic' and theyre old.
Yeah my computer's kinda old. Needs some upgrading. But it does the job xD
Laptop, Normal MacBook.

Oh don't feel too bad lol! I JUST got rid of my 7 year old Dell Dimension 4600 a few months ago. I used it for five years~ Just now sold it to a friend of mine after upgrading it and changing out that horrible case it had (Thing was a Bword to change though. Dell really tries to make their computers cases nonchanging.)

My computer's about 4-6 years old, something around that. I'm not sure, it used to belong to my grandfather. I've had it for 2 years but I'm not sure how long he had it for. It got a new MB like earlier this year. And without ReadyBoost it has one huge continuous heart attack. xD

Well getting a job is quite imposible right now

Here's a more updated and detailed specs of my comp.
OS: Stripped down version of Microsoft Windows XP 64Bit Edition.
Motherboard: ASUS M3A78-T
Processor: AMD Phenom 8650 Triple core 2.31 GHz
Memory: 2.00 GB of ram (I used to have 4 but I put the other 2 into the guest machine, I have noticed almost no differences in performance)
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 running at 1600x900
Soundcard: HT OMEGA CLARO (not sure of the model number) I run 2 RCA brand floor standing speakers at 160 watts 8 ohms each to listen to music and play games. I can turn them up loud enough that I can scream at someone right next to me and they wouldn't be able to understand a word I said, or hear me for that matter. ^_^
Hard drives: 100gb system drive, 500gb, 230gb, and 350gb Storage drives.
Power supply: 700 watt Coolmax CU-700B
Case: Old beige Super brand full tower case.
I have only 3 fans in this case and a huge Processor heat sink with a 120mm fan, this thing is pretty darn quite except for the video card blower.
It also stays very cool (very as in if you touch the top of the heatsink it feels like room tempeature).
Oh yeah and here's a pic just for fun, it ain't pretty but it is very well built and works beautifully.

Dude. I have that case. Holy crap. I got it from my dad forever ago and stored it away, seeing though I had almost no use for it since I had other computers I was working with. Those towers are huge.

Here's mine. Was kinda a tight squeeze xD Small room.

Just out of curiosity are you willing to part with it?
I'm looking for a good parts case, I mainly want the hard drive mounting bays.

I'd love to help you out on that, but it's my only extra case. Plus, it's two states away right now at my mother's lol

Hehe no problem.
Hopefully my dad will want to part with his some day. >:3

Try looking around at local schools. Sometimes they get rid of their old computers and don't care if someone takes the ones they're ridding of.
-
I browse yard sales and peddlers malls quite a bit too, not to mention amateur radio conventions (which is where I bought this case).
I'll find another one some time in the near future as I'm sure they made thousands of them, It's only a matter of time.
