Cool. Thanks for the link. I am also about to build a new computer desk here, and was planning on making the computer fastened heavily to the table (is enclosed except for ventilation). At least this way a burgler would have to work hard to get it, which they're not likely to do... Just because i am paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me. eric -- Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
