	Nm guys I got my question answered. The USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1 and I'll have to pop out a back portion of the box to connect it externally. Thanks for the help. X

	Pat, that would be the most ghettoriffic thing ever. Instead of adding ports, you're really just installing a hub to break an existing port into four ports. That will result in your traffic being split four ways, meaning your total bandwidth is limited to that of a single USB port. Get a real breakout box that runs to the motherboard, not that ghettoriffic piece of junk. -b0b (...trust me!)

	Well first of all this isn't for me it's for the parents. Also they're just going to use it so they don't have to pull out the computer and unhook the printer from the only USB port we have. So I'm going to do this so they have have their printer, their digital camera, and their mem stick accessible easier. So X

	If you guys were to suggest a nice PCI TV tuner, what would you say?

	I like anything by ATI. If you're going to use your machine as your TV I would spend the extra dough and get a really nice card. That's what I did about 3 years ago. I can't wait to see, if they don't already, have digital cable cards. X (When I get a job I'm going to have to build another machine!)

	So I'm stuck inbetween to cards. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121004 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131420 One is half the price of the other one, but the more expensive one is considerably faster. What do you guys think?

	Well if you have a single monitor I'd go for the Power one (the cheaper one) but if you have duals then I'd go for the Asus since it's a faster card.

	Get both! I keed, I keed. If I were you, I'd save up a couple extra bucks and buy the 7600. Or, you could save up even longer and buy... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143079 How are you going to get a PCI Express card into your PC, anyway? Doesn't it have an AGP port? -b0b (...could be wrong.)

	At first I saw that card and I knew that others like it were going for 550 - 650. Why is that one so expensive.

	I didn't even pay that much for my computer, why would I spend that much
