	Good to know, thanks! I forgot about Asus. I might have to use
	one of those when I get my LinuxMCE box built. Don't worry,
	I've got a big shopping list for the winter. I'll be leaving a
	good deal of money over by John R. These are going to be used
	as tv's, so I'd like to keep it all in one box. Plus, it's
	going in our bedroom, I'm allready pushing it with 22". Hey!
	it's bigger than our old tv in the living room as it is!
