I guess the xp idea comes from the fact that I use ptw when I do gigs. xp has been really stable. I havent upgraded my laptop or desktop to windows 7 so I dont know what Im missing:) ...I was just going to pick up a wireless keyboard and mouse, put them on my keyboard stand along with a monitor (just where my laptop sits now)....geeks.com has servers for around $100 us with no operating system....I just dont know if they are meant to be moved around a lot. That is my big concern...Other than getting a keyboard screen and mouse to work with it (I never thought about that:)
