No clue. I just buy cheap.

Crap. I just remembered that I need a kvm as well.

An electrical kvm switch.

Now I need to find me a cheap one that includes cables.

Madan, [url=http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatSectionView.process?Section_Id=56]see here for kvm examples[/url] (just one manufacturer, mind you).

Riso, Linksys sells some low-priced electronic kvm switches with cables included, but I can't tell ya if they're sold in your neck of the woods.

Ok, I got the 2 NIC's. HD will have to wait until Thu and  I will get the TRENDNET KVM TK-200 because it's cheap and includes cables. But I have to order that one online.

AYB: Do you have any requirements for the 17" monitor you want?  Just this past weekend, I purchased a 17" Dell monitor (looks like a Trinitron tube) refurbished for $69.  The company that does monitor refurbishing provides a 90-day to 1-year warranty on their work.  They're someone I've done business with before, and I trust their work.

Would refub fit your needs?

It may indeed, you see I plan on giving my Ghettomac to my parents and I'd like to match it with a decent 17" and that USB card that I mentioned (for a modem no less)

It won't be for a few months however, AYB needs to find a job :(

They knew you were making a purchase last week, as you posted your intentions in an online forum where they have been monitoring potential customers.  It's all that damn spyware going around.

That they're carrying them at all, or that they carry them for that price?  Aren't the Lian-Li Al cases >$100 normally?

I was recently in MicroCenter and they too carry the Lian-Li Al cases.  Someone in purchasing getting some smarts?
