So, I never did get my desktop working, but the good news is that my wife is getting a new PC at work. They are letting the employees take the old computers home (after wiping the software/data, of course).
Funny how things work out.
On a somewhat related note, I stumbled across a post about Chromebooks for use in portable ham operations. Which lead me to the video below. I don't take computer advice from Rick, but I thought it was pretty funny.
The post you linked to wipes ChromeOS and gives you a pure Linux box. You can also run Crouton and run both in parallel: http://chromespot.com/2014/01/29/how-to-install-ubuntu-chromebook-crouton/
