Nice one, thanks, I selected the 60w power supply but will ask their advice if 80w is more suitable. I also intend to plunge for a 500gb drive as this will be plenty for now but as you say the case is in theory able to accommodate 2 hard disks with the extra mounting plate. I rip with dbpoweramp at the mo and intend doing so but then direct the ripped files to be sent the drive on the mini pc via the router...hopefully! -- wonder boy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wonder boy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81683
