And one or two case fans, of course, plus an inexpensive DVD or CD ROM
drive (even decent - e.g., NEC - dual-layer DVD+/-RW drives only run
about $40 these days if you're willing to shop around). I'd probably
throw in a floppy drive for old times' sake (burning a CD for what you
could fit on a floppy just seems so silly) if USB thumb drives hadn't
effectively taken over that role.
