You can do as you propose, that will work fine. An alternative you could consider (if you don't need to transfer data between the two) is install your disk drives in a disk caddy so they're removable. Turn power off at power point (or back of the box if the ps has a switch) before swapping though, I don't fancy swapping ATA drives with a live mobo (though I have heard of someone who used to do i). SATA drives are supposed to be hot-swappable. I suggest this because I seem to fill my computers up: DVD burner, CD drive, two hard drives - whoops. I'm contemplating a CD burner and a DVD burner in the same box,,,, -- Cheers John Summerfield tourist pics: http://environmental.disaster.cds.merseine.nu/
