My other project website - http://www.mediacenterguides.com has been updated.

I was building a new computer with the Asus P5K motherboard.  The board is reasonably priced, and usually Asus makes good hardware, but this board is an exception.  After installing the board, and all other hardware I booted up the computer, installed  all drivers, and everything was looking good.  Later in the day I decided to add more USB ports to the computer because the
