So, from the video I showed you, (the back of my tower), I can use my present monitor right?

And thanks for the info on the dvd rom drive. I had no clue what all those specifications were.

So, so far, I'm good to go. I ran this by Allengamer and he did indicate that the HP Slimlines only last one year.

I have to look into that.

But I do like this one

And THANKS.

so if all my ducks are in a row, this is a good deal right?
