I'll look into that, thanks. also going to see if it'd be worth my time to try the monitors & Sound control panel... that seemed to work better for me in the past instead of the two seperate control panels.
Pretty sure it was. but after a hard drive upgrade, it's a pretty decent machine. No real speed issues, just gotta get rolling on loading it up with programs. Now that I have the powertower and other Misc Macs running, I can do that without a hitch. and then once it's happy, I'll make it happier with a re-cap.
OH, I should probably ask this while it's relevant-- Should I need to re-cap the PSU at all? the fan is still good, but the PSU wasn't touched when I did the full cleanout. the most it's gotten is the air-dusting that the whole machine got when I took it to the gas station and used the pump for that.
