Hi Tony; I'd second the suggestion on assembling your own. I'd get a full metal cased mini-ATX. None of that foolishness with plastic windows in the sides of the case. There are numerous great deals; many choices on MBs and CPUs. If you're not looking for big CPU power even a socket AM2 Sempron-based system would be very affordable. Then you can always upgrade the CPU in the future if you wish. Everyone has on-board sound now, but you can jumper it "off" and install a discrete card if you wish. And USB ports are numerous too. Not to mention the option of putting in a PCI USB card for some extras. good hunting Pete K5BCG
