Hello Wayne -

RJT>> Why USB, though? Seems to me if you're not into the
RJT>> newest and fastest stuff and if you have access to used,
RJT>> ATA interface can be had in older versions for real cheap. 

WC> Well I'm not tied to that option but the H.P. minitower
WC> already has a hard drive and CD-Player in it so that leaves
WC> one bay for anything else I select to add. 

A burner for CDR/CDRW would be a good thing. HP uses Roxio
software and I've never made a 'coaster' using it yet. There
are 'wizards' that dumb it down to where you can do it in your
sleep. ;-) 

WC> Just slapping in an audio CD sets it playing, pretty cool.
WC> I may well need to add a proprietary H.P. ATX upgrade power
WC> supply as well because this one's rather light at 250
WC> watts. Non-standard power supply case too :-( Well perhaps
WC> not for ATX as I don't really know but it's half the size
WC> of my NEC's power supply and needs to be to fit the case. 

Personally would've expected a 350 watt ps in there. Dead power
supplies have been my nemesis lately.

WC> Haven't done streaming video on the machine yet. The
WC> software is there, hell software for darn near everything
WC> is there!!! 

Kinda feels like an early Christmas eh? ;-)
