I just ordered the 3.8 Ghz version of the Dell laptop you found for me. It should just barely have the power I need. What am I going to do with all that memory?????
`
I also bought the 4 year "any failure? full repair or full refund" warranty... which eliminates any concern over it being a refurb. I don't usually buy those, but it was fairly cheap and I'll be running the machine hard, night and day. My wife also gets 5% off the whole thing, including the warranty, by using her Amazon card.
`
Thanks, micro! It gets here Thursday.

Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months

Re: "I'm going to see what I can learn about the CPU and graphics."
Amazon has THIS refurb for about the same price:

http://www.amazon.com/Dell-M4800-Ultrapowerful-Workstation-Refurbished/dp/B07HKBDFQX/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_tr_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=6K5GNBCPE3ESNA4A3AFB

As you can see, it's a Dell Precision M4800 like the one you found but with a newer and faster CPU that runs at 3.8 Ghz instead of 2.8 Ghz. Amazon's has an Nvidia graphics card versus Microcenter's Intel HD Graphics 4600, but they're both six year old graphics cards that leave a lot to be desired by today's standards. As I now know, the M4800 is itself a 6-year-old line of laptops. Unfortunately, graphics really matter for what I have in mind so this probably isn't what I need. I'm going to have to do some thinking.
