Thanks to all for the replies so far.
I hope this isn't a violation of posting etiquette...
For any who are interested there is a Nak dragon available now on eBay w/ at
$500 w/ the reserve already met. (I'd snap it up, but just can't quite
afford to right now).

What about sound cards? That seems to be the one topic that hasn't been
discussed much. I know that most of the sound cards are crap (mini plugs =
evil) and am looking to make a significant upgrade for this project. Any
suggestions?
Again, thanks to all for your input so far. It's been very enlightening.
