Do i get the SMC Barricade (the print server is nice and it is aparently just as fast as the netgear and linksys...right?), 100FT Belkin Cat5 cable (lifetime warranty), 50 Imation 700MB CDRs, and 50 black slimline cases for $153 from buy.com (with standard shipping free) or the same stuff (only Kingston CDRs and no name Cat5) from Outpost for 171 (with free overnight shipping) and then a $20 rebate so in the long run it's $2 cheaper + overnight shipping from outpost. I've never been all that great at sending in MIRs but i will make sure i do this time.

What do you think I should do? Btw, can't use the MIR with buy.com for the router.

Thanks! :)

I coooooould do that...but I don't think so. ;) BTW, what would you be using...like a crusty ol' 3x86 choc' full of NICs? heh- I could do that...but I really don't want to start f'ing around with that- I'm too busy right now- these next 3-4 weeks are going to be CRAZY and I just need to set this up so my mom will stop bugging me about it. ;)

Actually most of 'em are like p90's -p133s :) I've only assembled one for myself so far but someday I'm going to get off my butt and put 3-4 together and try to sell them :)
