Hi regardeing microphone you may also consider a usb headset with mic, and in case you happen that there aren't enough usb ports for your needs you can always expand them by buying a usb hub. Regarding usb ports by the way, make sure that at least one of the ports must be usb3.0 version.

I will neeed to do a bit of looking around to find just what I want. I am making a list of people's recommendations to have available once I start my shopping. It's silly, but i want to make sure I have a working microphone, grin. It is tough to join in with webinars and SKYPE and other things without one. I still use my CD/DVD burner, so I will need one of those, also. These are little minor things I don't want to forget. I figure a 256g SSD should work well with at least 8g ram. I want enough USB ports so I can hook up more than two items and I want them where I can reach them, not where I have to climb under my desk, grin. I am thankful to all of the people that have given me ideas today.
