Thanks for all the help. I have a few more questions. One of my coworkers who has a Ham recommend the Yaesu FT-897D for my base down the road once I get my feet wet. Based on this info if I do choose to go that route since its costly. I would like to get things in order beforehand to help belay...

I choose that camera because I work with some people who recommend it as they use it. I looked over the 60D, the 50D, and the TI2/3 but I was always under the impression that a camera should be about shooting pics and not not shooting pics and vid. Keep it simple I guess. Maybe my approach is...
So you both feel that I should get a "Tamron AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II LD SP ZL Aspherical (IF) Zoom Lens" for example and it would cover me on both the landscape wide angle and general walk around in one lens?
Do you guy have a preferance with those 2 telephotos?

TY! Seems that model was discontinued. Does anyone have any recommendation for a current model. Most of the pictures are landscapes pictures vs people. I want to get the best quality without paying $$$ if possible.
I have inherited over 1000 slide from my grandparents trips around the world. I would like to get them all converted to a digital format so i can have them on my PC and post them to my online photo hosting site. Is there a company that will do this for a reasonable price?
I was going through my storage when I found 2 DEll Pentium MMX 200 with 4mg of ram. Its the one with the Intel 430TX PCIset. Is there any use for this as a computer? linux? gateway? router?
or juts throw it away?
thanks

I keep going back and forth on the CPU and the motherboard.

Can you recommend a blueray drive that is best overall. I dont want to spend more then around $100 for it.
The more I think about it the more I like the
Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS 1TB SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
The reason I chose that case is that it is small and I assume that the with 120 fans will run cool while being quiet. I like the look of that black silverstone case but Im concerned that the small fans and tight quarters might cause cooling problems and be louder to boot.
Nope I wont be capturing any TV.
Yes I have been thinking on going with the green drive from WD.
Well If I can get the cabling run through the house then no Wireless Nic. It will be accessing media content from my Windows Home server.
Was thinking since I will be connecting to a WHS...
Since Im building a WHS I thought I might as well buidl a new game box too. Here is what I have so far. I want to go with 8GB Ram but not sure what brand or model yet. I want to be able to overclock this a bit... Is that possible?
Windows Vista Premium will be the os
AMD Phenom II X4 940...
One last question...
Was going to use another pc but a post I saw got me wondering. Do you see a potential issue with putting VMware on this machine with WHS and running Astaro as a Virtual Machine?
Thanks!
WOW! Thanks for all the replies...
Ok so how does this look. All from Newegg. Agree 4 is as cheap as 2 so.. Not sure about what brand or model of harddrive. Want relibilty but like the green powersaving idea.
