I have decided to go in the opposite direction to Rick in the previous thread (except for the trading in bit).

I was contemplating a board with builtin power supply but then remembered my luck with power supplies (externel hard drive, iipod dock, etc) I decided it would be a mistake.

Any comments/suggestions?

Anything that involves DIY will not help. My abilities in that direction extend to hanging a picture on the wall (on a good day!)

Dave.
