I just finished my thesis and I used NoodleBib. It worked out great for me and my classmates, as we had around 75 entries in NoodleBib. It proved really beneficial in switching styles, (MLA to APA) it was as easy as 1 click of my mouse. It was also very easy to input reference data as well as download it (it provides your bibliography in a word document or a text file).
NoodleBib is a web app, so there is no issue of getting it to run on your computer. See if your school has it for free (mine did) for student use, and play with it to see if you like it.
For only $99 at Fry's you can pick up an Agenda (now defunct) that runs linux (2.4 I believe). There is active developing going on, and you can't beat the price!! It'll save ya about $300!

Instead of milk crates, I use (metal) filing cabinets. You need them anyway, and they support the door rather well.
As an owner of a Toughbook, I can tell you the real problem is the NITs. It simply isn't bright enough to see on a boat with the glare, etc.
If anybody knows a laptop with a high NITs value, I would love to hear!
