Hmmm... didn't even think of the remote mouse/keyboard. That's a good
idea. I'll look into that video card... sounds like it might do the
trick (if I can somehow disable the onboard video... not sure about
that). Not worried about the DVD... I've got a real DVD player hooked
up to my stereo already... =) Sounds like you're talking of using
Windows instead of Linux tho, and that's something I'd rather not do.
But I think it should work with Linux if I do the same sort of thing
and if that video card will work.

Yeah, I've got an x-gamer sb live in this machine with a pair of altec
4-point speakers and the sound is killer... It'll sound tonnes better
on my real stereo tho... =)
Thanks for the tips!
