Is it? In that case, shouldn't the SI show up there too?
Do you have a PCI carrier? Cause I don't...

1GB is certainly enough, and the only disadvantage with only 1.2 Xbow is
that I can't do VPro and such niftyness. I don't even know if I can do
SE/SSE/MXE gfx?

Incase you'd ever sell these systems, be sure to include the correct
frontskin. I suspect there are far too many out there mislabeled, just
like old Sun4m-machines with, for instance, SS20 cover on an SS5.
Yes, I'm a picky bastard. :-)

I'd guess. I have a radio repairment show down town here that hold
(among many other things) blue leds. I have yet to find usefulness for
such things, until now that is.
White leds would be cool. Are you using wide-angle clear glass leds? If
the angle is too narrow, it would probably give a strange light
phenomena. :-)
