Sort of like that idea. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815102102 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124003 For the hard drive, I'm liking this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148395 I figure that will last me a little while. I found me a site to download the Law & Order and NCIS shows now. Oh boy !!!! Anyone see anything wrong with that combination? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
