true, but it would make a really cool power button When I figured out that I needed to compile some of the software I want to install, I was pleased to realize that I have compiled before on my web server, so I am making great progress learning Linux. Thanks to everyone for the great comments. I am considering getting a card reader/front usb ports for that empty 3.5" external slot, So if I do I could paint that and the power buttons with the light pink at the same time.
Great plan with the card reader think they are a godsend, have a little box like that on my unmodded, yet free hp box.
