My Revo 1600 is arriving today.

I have $107 in gift cards I'd like to use to augment it. $50 of it is Best Buy

What should I buy?

I could use $25 for 1GB of RAM @ CompUSA. Or should I skip it?

What else?

If you're going to run ubuntu skip it...

MDPauley,

Cool. That's what I thought.

Thinking about storage. What would you buy?

I have a couple of old Venus IDE cases with USB & Firewire. I also have 2 200GB drives and 2 400GB drives. I'm not totally confident in the drives and I think 1 case has a hardware glitch.

Hate to throw them out. Don't want to buy another IDE case...

Thanks

Hmm.. dunno about that one. I have a HP Mediasmart ex490 serving all of my media...

Toying with the idea of a NAS.
