...And, let me guess... when the processor reaches ambient room temperature it throttles back to 750 Mhz as well. Does anyone else out there think that, perhaps, the cycles-per advertised comes close to advertised spec, if you can't really use it because of heating problems? Just my 2K's worth...
The only thing I have to add is this... lobbyists are the domain of big corporations, and general public is usually left out in the cold. The lobbyists working for the music companies have industrial-strength pursestrings, and no 'real' groups representing personal freedoms; we are too long of the missive that individual freedoms will be protected by passivity.
Sure, I agree, not everything ought to be free on the net, and people should have reasonable control over their copyrighted material. But if a company feels it can sniff my drives in a manner that would get the FBI or police into hot water if they pulled that stuff without a warrant, than this is going too far.
When I moved into my new (OK, old, but new to me) domicile, I had the home entertainment system in one room, computer room, a few cams here and there, coax spread everywhere... Apart from the coax, I knew I wanted connectivity of varying sorts running here and there, so I ran multiple lengths of CAT5e between two 66-blocks placed in strategic locations. Those are the telco-style punch-down style blocks you see in the phone closets at work... anyhow, it leaves an easy way to add/reassign cable lengths and also to run additional lengths of cable for audio and signal I/O.
In terms of where, try to give clearance around florescent lights and anything else that uses strong waveforms and hot ramped-up current (vent motors, etc.) Shielding is obviously something to shoot for.
