Nice. Thanks a bunch!

I've had problems with ATI drivers, and OS portability is a plus when investing in hardware. So I'd recommend nVidia as well. @John: I looked for the fanless just now and must be skimming over it. Mind giving us the model number? I'm going to be building a web-connected media server for my entertainment center, and that card sounds perfect.

I also recommend APC. Every workstation here at work has one, and I got the same model to use for my home setup. It's a Back-UPS ES 725. I've had mine for 2 years, and it's kept my computer up through brown-outs that happen during thunderstorms. For the few black-outs we've had, I had plenty of time to shut everything down (I don't use the PowerChute, etc).

Perfect! I love both of your replies! :laugh:

Orientation is the only issue I've had at work, mostly due to my computer being under my desk -- and it is pitch black under there. I was using the hub on my monitor for things like thumb drives, but the hub now causes a BSOD on boot-up, so I have to leave it unplugged. Overall, though, USB 2.0 is just fine for me.
