Yes, I was talking about the standoffs. They are basically a long, hex shaped section, with a threaded post on the bottom, and a threaded hole down the middle of the hex section. You don't always have to have ALL of the metal lined holes in the motherboard connected to the case via the standoffs, but you should generally try to get quite a few.<BR>

With regards to running the hard drive in a different system, yes, you generally can. There are a few things to be careful with (raid, "special" controllers", etc.) which might make this more difficult, but typically it is OK. Make sure to clean up any system specific drivers out of /etc/modules (or your distro's equiv), and any other hardware that isn't configured by the hotplugging system.<BR>
